1986 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet

1986 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet

Published March 14, 2015 by Rob

We are entering convertible season and probably the time of year when many crave open-top motoring the most. There is probably not a shade of color I enjoy more on a Cabriolet than the various blues that are out there. These shades provide the sort of lightness and brightness that goes hand in hand with sunny motoring and combine to create an excellent atmosphere to match the sky above. Here we have the rare triple blue: an Iris Blue Metallic 1986 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet, located in Arizona, with matching blue leather interior and dark blue wheels that is on auction with no reserve. This is not a perfect car by any means as I think there are a few questions to be answered, but as a driver it looks in very good shape with very reasonable mileage.

1983 Porsche 930 Slantnose

1983 Porsche 930 Slantnose

Published March 13, 2015 by Rob

Porsche’s Sonderwunsch-programm (Special Wishes or now Porsche Exclusive) has been around for some time with the aim of providing its customers with opportunities to create unique color and trim combinations that allow their cars to stand apart from a standard model. Most commonly we see these features in the interior or as paint-to-sample exterior colors. The car we see here, a 1983 Porsche 930 Slantnose located in California, appears to have gone for the entire catalog with upgrades to the interior, a paint-to-sample exterior, along with the Slantnose option first made available in 1981. This 930 also was fitted with the power kit, which raised power to 331 hp, though sadly the engine has seen some modifications and those pieces are no longer fitted. The seller states that many of the original power kit components are included in the sale. It is obviously quite rare to come across any Special Wishes 911, but it is even more rare to find an early 930 Slantnose, especially here in the States where the car was not available until 1986. Engine modifications aside, this is a fantastic looking 930 that absolutely stands apart from other examples of its day.

10K Friday “80s Classic” Edition: 924 Turbo v. 5000CS Quattro Avant v. Golf Rallye v. 535i v. 300CE

One thing I really love about writing up these 10K posts is a odd combinations pricing allows me to come up with. For today’s post, I decided to do something a little different. Instead of maximizing the budget, I decided to look at it from the perspective of what was a classic 1980s car that you could buy and maintain well under $10,000. Obviously, if you’re willing to shill out much more, there are countless classics you can jump in to turn-key; but under $10,000 means with almost certainty that the car you’ll be getting in to today will be at least in part a bit of a project. Is there anything wrong with that? No, I think there’s an inherent appeal to trying to save and resuscitate a car that was in part neglected or just needs attention. Certainly I’ve tried to do that several times with 1980s cars – with mixed results. Today, I grabbed one classic from the 1980s (give or take, we’ll see…) from each of the major manufacturers – which is the one you’d like to save?

1997 Porsche 911 Turbo S

1997 Porsche 911 Turbo S

Published March 12, 2015 by Rob

Rare cars in rare colors are a perennial favorite of ours here at GCFSB. These cars can cause a bit of consternation since, especially in the case of a rare Porsche, they frequently arrive having traveled very few miles, but ultimately the variety of options and interesting aesthetics win us over almost every time. We featured a rare 993 Turbo S a couple weeks back and here we have another of these beautiful and high-powered air-cooled Turbos. Here we have a very pretty Ocean Jade Metallic 1997 Porsche 911 Turbo S with Grey leather interior that is believed to be the only such combination produced for the Turbo S and is set to be auctioned at The Amelia Island auctions on March 13. Like many such cars the mileage is low, in this case a little over 15K miles, and it is in absolutely stunning condition.

Motorsports Monday: 1989 Porsche 928GT

Motorsports Monday: 1989 Porsche 928GT

Published March 9, 2015 by Paul

Motorsports Monday often revolves around Porsches, as we saw with the 1984 911 Carrera that Carter posted earlier today. However, it’s rather rare you see a 928 of any sort prepped for competition use. More of a grand touring machine, these wouldn’t be on the radar of most track day enthusiasts. However, this 1989 928GT 5-speed for sale in Vancouver, British Columbia, has been prepared just so, with an FIA log book to go along with it. Care to take the road (or track) less traveled? This P-car is for you.
