1991 Porsche 944S2

Published July 15, 2014 by Paul

One of my favorite periods in Porsche history was between the late 1980s and early 1990s. It was during this period that the 959 supercar appeared, bringing forth the concept of all-wheel drive which is still with us in many Porsche models to this day. The 911 3.2 was making way for the new 964 series 911, itself a prized commodity amongst collectors currently. The 944, meanwhile, was at the end of its run but before the baton was handed off to the 968, the 944S2 would appear as an update. With a large 3.0 liter inline-4 with twin cams and 16 valves complimenting its exceptionally balanced chassis, these were great cars on and off the track. This S2 for sale in Missouri is practically new out of the wrapper with under 7,000 miles on the clock. Missed a shot at a new 944 years ago? Here’s your chance…

1980 Porsche 924 Turbo

Published July 15, 2014 by Carter

It probably sounds crazy, but I find the 924 Turbo pretty fascinating. Born at a time when smaller displacement turbocharged engines were the wave of the future and the rage in motorsport, the 924 is still one of the most aerodynamic cars to make it to the public. This resulted in good fuel economy, which combined with hatchback practicality meant it was a reasonable daily driver. But the weight distribution and turbocharged power plant meant it was at home on the track, too – in turned up Carrera GT, GTS and GTR versions it was a hugely successful race car. It was good looking, too – subtle curves, great ATS wheels and just enough vents and ducts to hint at performance potential. Really, it’s a great package – but in spite of this 924s in general remain one of the cheapest Porsches available. That means you can get into one for quite a deal these days while the rest of the market continues to pull out of reach:

1986 Porsche 911 Turbo

Published July 12, 2014 by Rob

This car provides a nice juxtaposition with the 2005 911 Turbo S I featured a few days back. That car represents the value side of the performance Porsche spectrum, while this car fits squarely on the investment side. I suppose the difficult decision comes for those buyers whose interests lie in having a 911 to spend a decent amount of time driving, rather than saving as an investment. In that regard, a low-mileage 930 wouldn’t be the ideal choice as a driver, but these days even a 930 with a decent numbers of miles will command a cost similar to a 996TT. There’s still something about these cars, especially in their design, that draws my eye more than the modern equivalents and while a 930 won’t outperform a 996TT it still commands a great deal of respect on any road.

1988 Porsche 930 Slantnose Cabriolet – REVISIT

Published July 11, 2014 by Rob

JS070357-2sm

The 1988 Porsche 930 Slantnose Cabriolet featuring some additions from the Ruf parts bin is back up for sale. Interestingly, it now features a higher starting bid than the original auction that garnered zero bids. Values for the 930 have escalated quite a bit since we featured this car, but whether they’ve increased enough to meet the high price this seller is seeking remains to be seen.

The below post originally appeared on our site March 1, 2014:

2005 Porsche 911 Turbo S

Published July 10, 2014 by Rob

It’s been a little while since I featured a 996TT so now seems as good a time as ever to see how the market stands for these performance bargains. The example featured here is an Arctic Silver 2005 Porsche 911 Turbo S, located in California, with 16,483 miles on it. 2005 was both the last year of the 996 and also the first year of the 997. Because the 997 Turbo would not be released immediately Porsche continued production of the 996 Turbo and for its final year of 996 production introduced the Turbo S. From a power standpoint the Turbo S essentially was the previously offered 996 Turbo plus the X50 power package. Add ceramic brakes and interior upgrades and you have the Turbo S. While Silver will never be my favorite color it has become pretty desirable among Porsche fans over the last decade and at the very least should allow you to cruise without attracting too much attention.
