1987 Porsche 911 on 2040-cars
Sachse, Texas, United States
More infos regarding my car at: kristalkgguetersloh@ukos.com .
For sale is my very original, very nicely maintained ’87 Carrera. I’ve owned this car for a couple of years,
but it’s time to sell a couple cars and make a move in the market. This is a very well optioned car that remains
in its original condition minus a quality repaint sometime in it’s history. Without the repaint, you’d have to
consider this an incredible survivor car - all original VIN stickers are in place, original drivetrain, original
sport seat interior, original carpets, headliner, everything is original to this car except the stereo. The option
codes are listed below and I have a Flickr gallery with 216 photos of the car - depicting condition from every
conceivable point of view and angle. I’m trying to be completely transparent with this car, as it’s a
no-excuse, very honest car that doesn’t need any hype on my part. The pictures and condition truly speak for
themselves.
I bought the car a couple years ago out of an estate of a gentleman from Texarkana who unfortunately passed away in
his 40s. I was in contact with the Administrator of his Will and was able to get everything I could from her and
the shop that was helping to sell the car for her. Due to this situation, the paperwork doesn’t go back as far as
many would like, but I do have what the shop was able to offer. The Carfax also showed that the history and mileage
checked out and once I had the car, the condition just kept getting better and better. You can see in the pics of
the front truck area the unused spare, unused compressor, jack, tools, etc. are all in place. On the inside, the
floors are immaculate under the stock carpets and floor mats - all showing a nice patina. The car came with
additional brown floor mats in the front, which have kept the original tan mats in very nice condition. If not for
the repaint - which shows extremely well - I would be inclined to call this a time capsule type car. Everything
hasn’t been replaced to make it look new, it’s been extremely well kept in it’s original condition. Again,
see all the pics to see condition and the relatively minor wear which gives it it’s patina. To me, this is the
type of car to buy - you can always put them back into original condition, but they are only in this condition
once. There are a few paint touch-ups, but they are hard to see and mainly on the front bumper.

Porsche reportedly working on new turbocharged flat-four boxer engine?
Wed, 10 Apr 2013These days, we've seen just about every automaker dropping cylinders in an effort to appease tightening fuel economy and emission standards - and Porsche is no exception. Nearly three years after introducing an all-new V6 powerplant under the front hood of its Panamera sedan (launched with a range of V8 engines) comes word that Porsche is working on an all-new turbocharged flat-four boxer to replace the flat-six engines mid-mounted in its Cayman and Boxster models.
Specifics have yet to be learned, but reports say the engine is a derivative of the current 3.8-liter six (shown above) found under the rear decklid of the Carrera S, yet with two fewer cylinders. Fitted with a turbocharger, direct-injection and the automaker's VarioCam Plus, the new all-aluminum 2.5-liter flat-four will likely develop upwards of 350 horsepower and 360 pound-feet of torque. Redline should be about 7,500 rpm. Initial indications say that Porsche will only offer the new engine with its seven-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic, tuned to take advantage of the low-end torque, but a traditional six-speed manual gearbox has not been ruled out. Despite the loss of two cylinders, enthusiasts will likely embrace the new engine as it promises to be lighter, more fuel efficient and more powerful than the 2.7-liter and 3.4-liter sixes in the Cayman/Boxster today.
Even though Porsche has been using Volkswagen Group engines for years (e.g., Cayenne V6, Cayenne Diesel and upcoming Macan), all indications are that the new flat-four will not be shared. Instead, it will be kept in-house for the automaker's sports cars and possible future fitment in an entry-level 911.
Updated J.D. Power APEAL study shines on VW Group, Chevy
Wed, 24 Jul 2013J.D. Power has just revealed the results of its 2013 APEAL Study, which looks at which brands have the most appealing cars based on sales figures, dealer inventory, brand loyalty, transaction and trade-in prices. The study was revamped for 2013, and places a larger focus on the new tech and infotainment options available to customers. All told, study participants gauged their vehicles on 77 different attributes, delivering a score out of a 1,000 points.
The Volkswagen Group had the greatest success of any corporation, topping the APEAL rankings with the Audi Allroad, Porsche Boxster, Porsche Cayenne, VW GTI and Passat. Chevrolet had the highest number of awards for a single brand, though, with the Avalanche, Sonic and Volt all taking home a prize.
The best brand overall was Porsche, which scored 884 out of a possible 1,000 points. The top Japanese brand was Lexus with a score of 847, while the top American brand was Cadillac, at 841. The best mainstream brand was Ram, which received a very respectable 817. The industry average for this year's study was 795, with 16 brands, all of which were mainstream, falling below the average.
Watch the incredibly complicated operation of Porsche's new targa roof
Tue, 14 Jan 2014Despite Porsche having claimed the name, targa tops are nothing new. In addition to the semi-roofless version of the 911, plenty of cars in the past have used removable roof panels - the new Corvette Stingray has one (as have prior generations), and this type of open-air experience has been available on past vehicles like the Pontiac Solstice Coupe and Honda Civic del Sol.
But when Porsche took the top off its brand new 911 Targa here at the Detroit Auto Show, it was indeed cause for pause. Simply put, this is one of the most complicated and intricate electronic roof panel removal techniques we've ever seen, save perhaps, for the setup found on the Japanese-market Civic del Sol from the 1990s.
We won't spoil the video for you, but basically, rather than just the roof panel coming off, the entire rear glass area lifts away the body in order for the small section over the passenger compartment to slide back. This has to be incredibly expensive to repair once it inevitably breaks. And we highly doubt you'll be able to operate this mechanism at any speed.
