1984 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa 2-door 3.2l on 2040-cars
Fairfax, Virginia, United States
Offering a very nice example of a 1984 911 Porsche Targa with Whale Tail kit, but car is not a Turbo. We feel in love with it so many years ago when we saw the Whale Tail as the seller's garage door was opening. This car turns heads. It is like a moving piece of sculpture. It looks fabulous sitting in any driveway! We have only driven it on dry days between April until October. . It has been storied in covered parking or under it's Porsche fitted cover. You know the story about the guy who leaves his wife for a younger woman, then sends her an email telling her to sale his stuff including his Classic Porsche, Ping Golf Clubs, and his custom suits and send him the money. Well, this is not quite that story, but I am selling his baby. Actually, both of us have loved this car for many years, but I have convinced him to think about a convertible now. So, he is allowing me to sell it! No younger woman involvement that I know of! WE HAVE THE BOOKS, MANUALS, KEYS, TOOLS AND MANY YEARS of SERVICE RECORDS. The tires are in very good shape with many miles left on them. This is an original car with no modifications and has NEVER been raced. Has a TURBO kit with Whale Tail, but is not a Turbo. Remember that the AC in a 1984 air cooled car does not blow cold air like newer water cooled cars. AC does work. Comes with a Porsche Bra and 2 Gray sheepskin seat covers. Radio and speakers have been upgraded a few years ago. The things that I feel need to be addressed: It needs to have the Targa Top re-covered but the lining is perfect. I just noticed that the driver's seat has a stain on the seat fabric. We have had the sheepskins on for years now, so I never noticed it. Additional photos upon request. |

Robb Report chooses Porsche 911 as its Car of the Year
Thu, 21 Feb 2013Robb Report has picked the seventh-generation Porsche 911 Carrera S as its 2013 Car of the Year, saying the two-door captivated its judges with "agility, driving dynamics and balance." The German coupe bested 12 others who were also in the running - the impressive list of nominees included the BMW M5, Audi S8, Ferrari FF, Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG and the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse.
Judging involved more than just throwing darts at pictures on the wall, as the publication enlisted a panel of automotive experts to test drive each vehicle for close evaluation. The panelists included 100 members of the Robb Report Club (comprised of top corporate executives and influential readers), Editor-in-Chief Brett Anderson and automotive consultant Robert Ross. Full results of the competition will be revealed in the luxury magazine's March issue, hitting newsstands in about a week.

MotorWeek proves '90s were awesome with Supra, Stealth, RX-7, Corvette, 968, 300ZX comparo
Thu, 24 Jul 2014Oh, the heady days of 1993, back when the Clinton Presidency was just getting underway, and it seemed like every hot new rock band was coming out of Seattle. Sports cars in the US had finally shaken off the shackles that slowed them during the '70s and '80s, and you could buy any number of legitimately quick vehicles again. MotorWeek recently went digging into its archives to find this six-model test from 1993 showing off some of the best semi-affordable performance coupes that money could buy at the time, and it's priceless.
Featuring the 1994 model year Toyota Supra in twin-turbo guise and MY 1993 versions of the Porsche 968, Nissan 300ZX TT, Mazda RX-7, Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo and Chevrolet Corvette LT-1, MotorWeek definitely covered all of the bases. One thing that might surprise younger readers is these cars' performance. The video only provides 0-60 acceleration times, but several of these vehicles would still be considered pretty potent today - over 20 years since going on sale. The Supra is especially impressive, hitting 60 miles per hour in just 5 seconds. Even today, that's nothing to sneeze at.
Given their performance potential and still-attractive looks, it's amazing that some of these coupes are old enough to drink now. The progress of interior design and safety equipment in the intervening years is pretty shocking, though. In most of these models, having two airbags is touted as a big deal. Scroll down to watch a Throwback Thursday blast from the past about some of the '90s best sports cars.
1949 Gm?nd Porsche shows the birth of an icon
Fri, 21 Mar 2014The Austrian village of Gmünd is more than just difficult to pronounce; it's also the birthplace of the Porsche brand. Before the company ever started building sports cars at its current home base near Stuttgart, the fledgling business completed several vehicles in the tiny town in Southern Austria. In this video, former Pikes Peak International Hill Climb champion Jeff Zwart takes a look at a 1949 Gmünd coupe to see how the company has evolved since its earliest days.
The thing to note about the Gmünd-built Porsches is their absolute design simplicity. The phrase "form follows function" gets bandied around a lot, but it really means something when you look at these early cars. However, the minimalism was partially out of necessity. The vehicles were meant to be sporty but certainly weren't rockets. Power came courtesy of a modified Volkswagen Beetle engine, and anything extraneous would have slowed the models down. Scroll down to watch Zwart go back in time to Porsche's beginnings.
