To call the paint "well preserved" would be a gross understatement; the truly marvelous finish has retained its magical luster over the years and still appears stunningly beautiful today.

Euro side markers are a nice addition

This Targa has never suffered any damage; there are no door dings, only few blems and rock chips to report.

Hood and door gaps are in perfect alignment; confirming the Carrera's pampered existence for the past 26 years.

Porsche rolls on the 16-inch FUCHS wheels with Toyo Proxes tires of the size 205/55R16 front and 245/50R16 rear.

While we’re down on one knee, let’s have a look underneath.

Area below trunk, including the front suspension pan, looks marvelous as well. It's damage free, clean as a whistle, with all factory finishes preserved in reference quality.

More important than shiny paint is a healthy undercarriage.

This original chassis presents itself free of any kind of damage or corrosion.

Perfectly undisturbed, the undercarriage displays all the factory-applied coatings, including some Zuffenhausen-generated paint overspray. There's no rust, no flaking, no damage, just the all-original finishes.

Most importantly, there is absolutely NO evidence of corrosion, collision damage or any other mishap that would cause the enthusiast sleepless nights.

How about a quick peek under the deck lid?

Engine compartment looks bone stock and clean as a whistle. Even the factory decals are still in place.

The indestructible 3.2-Liter engine featuring BOSCH MOTRONIC runs excellent, delivering 217 strong Teutonic horses at 5,900rpm. Woo-Hoo!!

Please, note that this matching numbers engine is completely stock and unmodified; even the emissions equipment is still present and fully operational.

Frog's eye view:

 Notice stainless steel exhaust system.

Engine's bottom end. Dry and clean, there's not a single oil leak to note.

Recently serviced, no wear item has been left unattended; as a result, this Carrera is mechanically as strong as it is cosmetically.

Speaking of cosmetics, let us stress how immaculate the body is, how perfect the bumpers, how glossy the paint: if you wouldn't know differently, you'd think to be looking at a 6-year-old, not a 26-year-old car. This one is that clean!

Let's have a look inside now!

The inviting, 6-way power front seats exude a fantastic aroma; let's investigate!

Classic black 911 interior provides plenty of space, even for 6'6"-tall NBA players.

Leather rear seats; "Pristine" is the only way to describe them properly.

Car is fully optioned with ice cold A/C, power disc brakes, seats, mirrors, windows, and even cruise control. Everything works perfectly, of course.

The iconic 911 cockpit featuring five large, circular, white-on-black dials with bright orange pointers, a timeless design. You can't improve upon perfection!

Note the new-for-'88 steering wheel.

And the 071,423 miles shown on the 6-digit odometer are original!

From the Cruise Control to the Blaupunkt AM/FM Cassette audio system; everything still works and sounds great..

Books, manuals, and documents found inside the red vinyl pouch include the owner's manual, maintenance book, dealer directory, accessories brochure and radio instruction manual. And there's also a spare key set.

The condition of this leather interior is consistent only with a cherished, low-mileage car that's been garaged all its life.

Drivability:

Driving such a low-mileage Carrera is a pure delight; praised be the German engineers. The car starts, runs, drives, shifts, corners, and stops perfectly.

Naturally, a super clean Porsche like this one is a prime attention getter, garnering excited comments wherever you go. From the air conditioner to the clock, everything works as intended. Recently serviced, (receipts included) there's nothing left to do but to drive and enjoy!

The GETRAG G-50 5-speed transmission with its BORG WARNER synchromesh system certainly can handle the Carrera motor's torque; the hydraulic clutch ensures ease of operation. Be it as a daily driver or a cherished collectible, this 911 provides unequalled driving enjoyment, free of depreciation.

You will not see another '87-'89 Carrera coming even close to this particular low-mileage specimen. It's a pristine car, inside and out, with full documentation and no stories. A true heirloom quality 911, with proper care it can be driven forever, until you are ready to pass it on to the next generation.

Final words of wisdom:
Is this car "mint?" Of course not. No car that has been driven on the highway can rightfully be called "mint." It's a term best reserved for uncirculated coins. But, being a 26 year-old 911 that has always been treated with utmost respect by a wealthy Porsche enthusiast, it's as breathtakingly perfect as it gets.
