Double Take: 1989 Porsche 944 Turbo

Published October 19, 2014 by Carter

While the other day I wrote up two great looking early examples of one of the best performance bargains in classic German motoring, 944 Turbo. Now we’re going to look at the end of the run – the 1989 944 Turbo. Often mistakenly referred to as “S” by even enthusiasts (I’ve been guilty more than once myself), the ’89 did in fact gain all of the upgrades that the 1988 Turbo S received. Today we have two seemingly equal examples – but as we know, not all things are created equal. Which white over black ’89 is the one you’d choose?

1987 Porsche 928S4 5-speed – Revisit

Published October 17, 2014 by Rob

The manual-transmission Grand Prix White 928S4 we featured back in September is back up for sale, this time as a reserve auction. Last time it was listed with a Buy It Now of $39,900 and failed to sell, which should give us some insight regarding where a possible reserve for this auction may lie. Bidding sits currently at $17,600 so we’ll have to see whether it can reach its reserve.

1964 Porsche 356C Coupe

Published October 16, 2014 by Rob

There is something about the 356 that has me hooked. I’m not sure I can even put my finger on it, but almost without fail I come across examples that make me stare and spend enormous amounts of time taking in the details. The 356 isn’t aggressive. It isn’t even, in some ways, particularly striking, though we should preface that with a comparison with modern examples. In its day I imagine it possessed quite a striking presence. These are history pieces, full of detail and curves, that offer us a glimpse at the precursors to Porsche’s modern successes. The 356C was the last model produced so it is about as advanced as a 356 can get and most resembles the 911 that replaced it. Relative to a 911 though, these remain fairly simple and lightweight cars. The example here is a restored 1964 Porsche 356C Coupe, located in Las Vegas, with a reported 38,756 miles on it.

1993 Porsche 928GTS 5-speed

Published October 15, 2014 by Paul

Just when I thought I’ve seen every conceivable color combination on a 1990s era 928, along comes this car. Behold this Wimbeldon Green Metallic 928GTS with a midnight green leather interior. Equipped with a 5-speed gearbox, this one was ordered new from Holbert’s Porsche, not far from my neck of the woods outside of Philadelphia. If you aren’t familiar with this dealership, this was the one owned by the father of Al Holbert, five time champion of the IMSA Camel GT series. This 928GTS was owned by a Porsche Club of America member and it’s not a vehicle appropriate for shrinking violets.

1996 Porsche 911 Turbo

Published October 15, 2014 by Rob

There is a lot going on with the 993 Turbo. As the last of the air-cooled 911 Turbos it will always exist in the rarefied air that enthusiasts reserve for only their most hallowed cars. But, just as Porsche was saying goodbye to one piece of technology it was bringing on board another: the 993 Turbo was the first to receive all-wheel drive as standard, a feature that has remained standard on every Turbo since, with the exception of the ultra-low production GT2. That places these cars in an interesting position and while I feel its status as the last of the air-cooled turbos will ultimately win the day I still wonder (and I’ve said this before) how the market for these and the 964 Turbos will shake out long term. Only time will tell in that regard, though either way I think it’s safe to say that both models will remain highly sought after. The example we see here is a Black 1996 Porsche 911 Turbo, located in Arizona, with Red leather interior and only 24,500 miles.
