1987 Porsche 924S

Published June 22, 2014 by Paul

After 1988, the Porsche 924 disappeared from the lineup altogether, leaving Porsche with a decidedly more upscale lineup until the arrival of the Boxster in 1998. Before the 924 exited stage right, the 924 evolved into the 924S for the 1986 through 1988 model years. With a detuned version of the Porsche 944’s 2.5 liter engine and upgraded suspension, Porsche was able to keep the price under $20,000 at the outset. Now, with news of Porsche developing a series of flat-4 engines, is another affordable Porsche soon to be in our midst? Until then, someone can sit back and enjoy this extremely well preserved, low mileage 924S for sale in Florida.

1968 Porsche 912 Coupe

Published June 22, 2014 by Rob

For a brief period, the Porsche 912 enjoyed quite a bit of success. Released in 1965 and serving as Porsche’s entry-level model the 912 was essentially a 911 with a more basic drivetrain. With its inherently better balance relative to its more advanced sibling, the 912 sold very well upon initially being made available before Porsche decided it would be discontinued so as to make way for the mid-engined 914. Other than a brief reappearance in 1976, the 912 only enjoyed a 5 year model run from 1965 to 1969 and, like many entry-level vehicles nearly 50 years later, they remain relatively rare, especially with low mileage. The car featured here, a 1968 Porsche 912 Coupe, located in Florida, is enshrouded in questions, but with only 12,000 miles and on offer for no reserve it could end up as quite an interesting buy.

1998 Porsche Boxster

Published June 21, 2014 by Rob

With the revival of the roadster in the early 1990’s Porsche decided it was finally time to introduce a new model, something the marque had not done since the ’70s. Rather than design another GT to replace the outgoing 928 and 968, Porsche went with a mid-engined entry-level roadster that would appeal to a wider demographic than the more hard-edged 911. With a 2.5 liter flat-6 and 5-speed manual directing their energies to the rear wheels the Boxster was generally very well received and sold like mad. While admittedly the early Boxster was a bit soft and a bit slow, flaws Porsche would correct a few years later with the Boxster S, it still served its basic purpose of broadening the Porsche audience. The car featured here comes from the first generation: an Arctic Silver 1998 Porsche Boxster, located in Florida, with 56,950 miles.

1989 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet

Published June 20, 2014 by Rob

A cabriolet parked next to the ocean. If you were trying to sell a Baltic Blue 911 Cabriolet, you could certainly come up with a worse place to photograph it. Idyllic settings are what make open-top motoring so appealing. With the top down even a hot summer day feels a lot cooler as you watch the scenery rush by and enjoy the ocean air. This Baltic Blue 1989 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet, located in Tampa, Florida, comes in with 63,621 miles. While the 3.2 Carrera is no longer the bargain it once was, many of the examples outside of the rare 20K-mileage-and-less range have yet to appreciate to quite the same degree. However, those days are surely numbered so anyone who had hopes of owning one of the last classic 911s will need to act soon.

Double Take: 1993 Porsche 911 RS America – Collector or Racer?

Published June 19, 2014 by Rob

The RS America is another example of a car Porsche produced as a means of satisfying enthusiast desires for production cars that were unavailable on the US market. In this case, the highly sought after car was the 964 Carrera RS, a completely revised, track-focused, version of the standard Carrera 2 that was both lighter and also more powerful than its production brethren. The RS America was never intended to fully mirror the Carrera RS in its extreme nature, but rather sought a less aggressive but nonetheless still enthusiast-oriented package featuring a stripped interior, sport suspension, and much fewer options. Today, their rarity makes them prized commodities on the 964 market as the two listings below should make clear. Here we have two examples of a Guards Red 1993 Porsche 911 Carrera RS America that fall in fairly different parts of the market. One is a higher mileage RSA that has seen some track time, while the other is a pristine, low-mileage example, with a stratospheric asking price. We’ll begin with the tracked car.
