While Porsche introduced all-wheel drive on the Carrera in 1989, it wouldn’t be until the 993 generation a few years later that Turbo 911 with all four wheels being driven would work its way into the lineup. Thus, in 1991, the rear-drive Turbo would have its last shout in the form of the 964. The first 964 Turbos, introduced in 1990, had an evolution of the 3.3 liter engine from the 930. It wouldn’t be until early 1993 when the 3.6 Turbo would arrive on the scene, of which less than half of the amount were produced in comparison to the 3.3 version. This early 3.3 Turbo is on offer in Texas, the perfect place to live out your Cannonball Run fantasy.

The 356 is the car that started it all for Porsche. As its first production model, you’d excuse Porsche for possibly doubting the longevity of this somewhat quirky rear-engine rear-wheel-drive design, but 65 years later that layout remains the calling card of Porsche’s iconic 911. Aesthetically the 356 offers elegant contours that are sure to turn many heads and in their day their minimalist approach suited the needs of a wide range of automotive enthusiasts. The car we see featured here comes from near the end of the model run, a restored 1964 Porsche 356C that looks beautiful in Aquamarine blue metallic.

But how about this 1986 944 owned by the proverbial little old lady? Sure, we’d all love to have a 911, but for those of us of more modest means who still want to get into a P-car, this is one sweet ride.

Comments closedThe 1986 Porsche 911 Carrera we featured last month is back up for sale at the same Buy It Now price. It seems the seller is determined to get his price. Could a 911 of this vintage with this kind of mileage pull over $20,000, given where air-cooled 911 values are headed?

3 CommentsThe 1970s Porsche 911 Carrera RSR are without a doubt one of my favorite race cars. Stretching the limits of that rear-engine design, Porsche employed both monstrous rear tires and aerodynamic aids to help tame the serious amount of grunt they were able to extract from the race prepared flat-6. And while I’m not alone in loving the RSR, not many were made leading to a fair amount of replicas of the various iterations. Some, like the last RSR replica we featured, take the iconic IROC cars as their inspiration, while others replicate more unique examples. But over the past few years backdating Carrera 3.2s and 964s has become popular, and it comes as no surprise to see today’s example – a 1984 Carrera 3.2 that’s been given the full-on RSR look – but unlike many other replicas, has remained streetable:
