1971 Porsche 911E Targa

Published December 30, 2014 by Rob

On the current market, the 911E has long been a personal favorite of mine for its marriage of performance and luxury. With a more powerful engine and more sophisticated suspension than the entry-level 911T, the 911E was aimed at buyers who wanted more from their Porsche, but did not want the full high-performance 911S. We almost might suspect it of being a GT if it weren’t for the engine being placed at the rear of the car. Though that is essentially what the 911E was: an extremely capable performer that still delivered a high degree of comfort and luxury. While now they are more valuable than a 911T they do not manage to come close to seeing the sorts of values we expect from the 911S and for that I tend to like them quite a bit. The example we see here is a restored 1971 Porsche 911E Targa, located in Oregon. While the Silver over Black color scheme isn’t the most exciting in the 911 range it possesses a certain timeless quality that will always have its fans.

Tuner Tuesday: 1998 Porsche 911 Carrera 2S Andial 3.8 – REVISIT

Published December 30, 2014 by Carter

Speculation is a wonderful and horrible thing. We speculate all of the time about how much cars are worth; partially we’re helped by a fair amount of experience in writing similar cars up, but at the end of the day cars are only worth what the market will support. And, in the case of today’s quite rare Andial-motored 993 Carrera 2S, I correctly postulated that the market wasn’t ready to support a $228,500 asking price. Unsurprisingly the car is back up for sale four months later – and perhaps equally unsurprisingly at the same asking price. There’s no doubt that this is a special car but it’s fairly far ahead of the market right now. It’s lovely, though – so at least we can enjoy some 993 eye candy to close out the year!

1993 Porsche 968 Club Sport

Those of us not in the United Kingdom might have been a bit bummed by the steering wheel location on the Porsche 968 Club Sport we featured last week, especially since it was painted in a rare hue. But here we have another well-kept 968CS that has popped up for sale in Münster, Germany. It might not be as eye-catching as the example we saw for sale in England, but in some ways, white speaks to the purity of this machine. It was built with one purpose in mind: driving pleasure.

Motorsports Monday: Porsche 914-6

Published December 29, 2014 by Paul

The Porsche 914 is a car that owes a lot of its development and existence to the 911. Originally designed as an entry level model in the late 1960s, Porsche would eventually slot a flat-6 engine under the hood. However, in doing so, the price would jump to near that of the 911T. As a result, sales were poor, with folks either choosing the more expensive 911 or the less expensive 914 with the flat-4 engine. While we see a lot of 911s and even 912s in race livery here on GCFSB, a 914 done up for track use is a bit more uncommon. This 914-6 for sale in Tennessee had its 2.0 liter engine bored out to 2.2 liters and will come with a trailer if bidding reaches $45,000.

2006 Porsche 911 Carrera S w/ X51 package

Published December 28, 2014 by Rob

I can’t remember the last time I wrote up a 997, and like with the 996TT, which I have written about frequently, the 997 provides us with a nice value comparison for those interested in a 911, but for whom performance might trump long term value. As we will see with the car here, since these cars already have passed through their significant depreciation from new they can be had for reasonable cost while retaining some of that cost for any future sale. For those who can’t get past the 996’s styling a car like this one, a Black 2006 Porsche 911 Carrera S with the X51 performance package and just 28,500 miles might be just the sort of thing to look for. Added to the power increase of the Carrera S over the standard Carrera, the X51 package raises horsepower to 381 and torque to 306 lb-ft appearing to push the limits of just how much Porsche can extract from the car’s 3.8 liter flat-six while remaining fairly comfortable and without reverting to forced induction.
