1969 Porsche 911E Targa

1969 Porsche 911E Targa

Published March 31, 2015 by Rob

When I first began to write for this site the Targa was a model that I enjoyed, but also was somewhat indifferent toward. I’ve been familiar with them for a long time and as I’ve come to terms with my own love/hate relationship with convertibles the Targa has progressively grown on me. Ultimately, I might still prefer a traditional coupe, but the Targa, especially on an early 911 where I really enjoy the aesthetic, has begun to make more and more sense to me. I enjoy the versatility and the unique styling. It’s somewhat quirky, but it’s a nice engineering solution to the conundrum of balancing safety requirements with the joys of open-top motoring. Here we have a very early Targa, an Ossi Blue 1969 Porsche 911E Targa, located in Rhode Island, that has a transplanted heart: rather than the standard 2.0 liter flat-six of the original, this has a 3.2 liter from the ’80s Carrera.

Porsche 928 Roundup Aus Europa

Porsche 928 Roundup Aus Europa

Published March 30, 2015 by Paul

The Porsche 928 has been on my mind lately, no thanks in part to the knowledgable folks over at flüssig magazine. Normally we like to feature examples for sale in the US, but today I decided to peruse one of our favorite sites for used vehicles in Europe, Mobile.de. After searching about, I found a diverse grouping of 928s, all with their own particular charm. We’ll start with this eye catching 928CS prototype, the rarest of all 928 variants, for sale in Spain.

1993 Porsche 911 RS America

1993 Porsche 911 RS America

Published March 30, 2015 by Rob

Over the past few weeks I have featured an abundance of ultra-low-mileage collectible 911s and I know the common refrain has been that these are, to a degree, a waste. As beautiful and interesting as these wonderful low-mileage examples are, they are not being used as intended. I feel everyone’s pain on this. Here we have another collectible 911, but this one is far from a pampered garage queen. Rather, this Grand Prix White 1993 Porsche 911 RS America has covered nearly 215,000 miles over the course of its 22 years on the road. The RS America in general has shown really nice increases in value over the past year, but it’s rare to come across one with more than 100K miles let alone twice that. That makes the valuation of this car difficult, but in many cases well-maintained high-mileage 911s still seem to fetch pretty good numbers. In addition, this one is a low-option car, only having 1 of the 4 available options selected upon delivery. That 1 option was A/C.

Motorsports Monday: 1971 Porsche 911E

Motorsports Monday: 1971 Porsche 911E

Published March 30, 2015 by Paul

The Porsche 911 is a favorite when it comes to Motorsports Monday features. There are plenty of examples out there which have been race prepped by amateurs and professional race teams alike, along with some rather valuable factory built examples. They are a very versatile vehicle to go racing with, having seen action in everything from IROC to the rally circuit. This 1971 911E for sale in Atlanta has seen race action on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. It ran in the 24 Hours of Nürburgring in the late 1980s and was subsequently imported to the US and raced by John Forbes and the crew at Black Forest Racing.

1974 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 Coupe

1974 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 Coupe

Published March 29, 2015 by Rob

We have talked a bit in these pages about the relative value of the mid-year 911. Even while values have increased over the past year that value judgement still remains. These are still much cheaper than the long-hood 911 and in some cases can even be had for less than the model that followed, the 911SC. The model we see here, however, is somewhat of an exception to the rule, though it still comes in below the long-hood models that were its predecessor. Here we have a Grand Prix White 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 Coupe, located in California. While these resemble the highly sought after European Carrera 2.7 MFI Coupe they are not the same mechanically, with the MFI boasting more power and lighter weight. But those come at three times the price.
