Stunning Twos – 1989 and 1991 Porsche 944 S2s

Published March 5, 2014 by Carter

Yesterday, Paul wrote up a nice looking 968 with lower miles. The problem with these low mile 968s seems to be that people ask a lot of money for them. Now granted, comparing the money that E30 M3s command compared to the 968 asking prices puts them in a less outrageous context, but compared to the prices 944 Turbo Ss or 944S2s command, they do seem out of line. Case in point is todays two stunning examples of the 968 prototype, the 944S2. Effectively the 968 was this car, restyled and with an extra cog in the gearbox. If you can deal with only 5 speeds and prefer the boxier styling of the 944s, these 944S2s are a screaming deal – for now. Let’s look at a black early example first:

1995 Porsche 968 with 40k miles

Published March 4, 2014 by Paul

Following on to the early 924 we just featured, here we have the opposite end of the spectrum when it comes to four-cylinder, front-engined Porsche: the 968. What was originally supposed to be designated the 944S3 turned into the 968 after engineers realized so little was left of the 944 platform. Complementing the evolutionary styling was an enlarged 3.0 liter inline-4 with VarioCam variable valve timing and a 6-speed manual gearbox (4-speed tiptronic was optional). For those who want an affordable, modern Porsche but might not be turned on by a Boxster, these 968 Coupes and Cabriolets offer enthusiasts a unique proposition. This 968 Coupe with a 6-speed manual for sale in Illinois is a lower mileage example sure to please the more serious driver.

1977 Porsche 924

Published March 4, 2014 by Paul

It ain’t easy being green. Well, when it came to being the Porsche 924, it wasn’t easy just being. Porsche traditionalists weren’t keen on this front engined coupe with a power plant shared with an Audi. But, over time these early water-cooled Porsches have built a respectable fan base with prices staying at a reasonable level. This early 924 is genesis when it comes to the 924/944/968 series. Certainly a car that will grab the attention of P-car enthusiasts who appreciate these models in their purist form.

1991 Porsche 911 Turbo

Published March 3, 2014 by Rob

Given the longevity of the classic 911 it seems somewhat odd how quickly both the 964 and also the 993 departed from the scene. The combined life span of the two models failed even to reach a decade. For the 964 especially, that relatively short time on the market has seemed to hold down prices as buyers clamor to own the last of the air-cooled 911s, the 993. The 964 Turbo, however, holds its own stake in the “last of the breed” marketplace, being the last rear-wheel-drive 911 Turbo produced (excluding, of course, the ultra-rare GT2). First released in 1990, the 964 retained the 3.3 liter turbocharged flat-six of the 930, but with power output raised to 315 hp and delivered to the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission. The car featured here is an Amazon Green Metallic 1991 Porsche 911 Turbo, located in Colorado, that has seen just north of 80K miles.

1988 Porsche 930 Slantnose Cabriolet – Ruf parts

Published March 1, 2014 by Rob

It might be hard to tell, but I actually have a strong preference for the Slantnose Coupe over the Slantnose Cabriolet. The cabriolets, however, tend to pop up for sale more often and as a result those are what we feature. Though perhaps it should be said, there isn’t unanimous agreement amongst those of us here at GCFSB with regard to Cabriolet vs. Coupe. But I digress, here we have another 1988 Porsche 930 Slantnose Cabriolet. This car is distinguished from the Grand Prix White Slantnose featured previously in that it comes with a few additions out of the Ruf parts bin. Most significant of those additions is the Ruf 5-speed-manual transmission, an upgrade that is sure to please buyers interested in driving this car, though I’m not sure whether it will appeal to collectors. Regardless, this is a very low mileage 930 with both aesthetic and mechanical additions that set it apart from most others.
