There are cars that are at the exact right time to collect; there are cars you'll love to drive; and this 1987
Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet is both. After all, this is the year the 3.2 was mated to the highly desirable
upgraded G50 five-speed, and while all 911s from this era are special, this baby is truly unique.
Porsche people probably picked up on some of the upgrades in the first glance. This roadster has been given a
widebody kit, dealer installed similar to the 1989 factory WBs. It's a far more sophisticated impression that feels
a bit European. The recent restoration was done by Magnum Motors of Marietta, GA famous for their high end exotic
auto services; and the only Porsche authorized body shop in the South East. The upgraded image looks fantastic on
the Artic White paint, with the classic blue leather interior and blue canvas top. You'll love how the sunlight
rolls off of all of this Porsche's legendary curves.
No other door opens with the same mechanical and deliberate sound like a classic 911 does. Enthusiasts turn around
when they hear that iconic 'pop' (yes it sounds crazy, but true.) And when people look, they will see a dark blue
interior that coordinates nicely with the rest of the Artic White car. You sit down in leather seats with the
racing sports steering wheel. Porsche's race-ready sensibilities means the tachometer is directly in front of the
driver. The rest of the instruments surround this in their own clearly marked pods to give you a comprehensive view
of what's going on with the engine. While this 911 is obviously a driver's car, it includes power windows and cold
air conditioning, though you rarely need it with the top down!
Beneath the rear hatch is the best part of any 911. The fuel-injected 3.2-liter Carrera flat-six was an exceptional
evolution of Porsche's legendary power plant. This is a performance motor that loves to intoxicate you with its
unique air-cooled song, and it's heightened even further with a deep bass exhaust. 1987 is a pivotal year for 911
fans, because it was again, the introduction of the G50 five-speed transmission. The combination of this engine and
transmission is so durable, that with proper care and maintenance, many of these era cars last over 250,000 miles
before a rebuild is needed! This was a much more robust gearbox base on which Porsche utilized to drive its sports
car reputation right up today.
From a driver's standpoint it gives you the confidence to take this baby on an adventure. And that's the whole
point of owning a car like this. The moment you find an open road, it's time to downshift and smile wide. That's
why it also comes with Porsche's legendary steering feedback, four-wheel disc brakes, and exceptionally wide, new
tires. So you'll instantly know why there is no substitute.
Here's a 911 Cabriolet nicely presented with all the right features. While the mileage seems a bit high, the G50
series are known to really hold up last for many years. This is the rare classic that proves you'll love driving
your collectables for many miles with no real problems!

Leno buys classic Porsche 356 Carrera 2, seeks out and finds perfect expert for help

Mon, 19 Aug 2013

The world of collector cars is fairly tight-knit when you get down to individual models. Need proof? Just take a look at this latest video from Jay Leno's Garage. The subject is a gorgeous 1963 Porsche 356 Carrera 2. Jay, being known as quite a collector, got a call from someone looking to sell. While doing his due diligence and looking for a 356 expert to go over the car with him, he came across John Willhoit.
Where the story gets weird is when Leno is asked the license plate number - it turns out that Willhoit, owner of Willhoit Restorations, had restored the exact same car more than 30 years prior. He then sold it to the same person that was looking to give it to Leno. What follows is a truly interesting video on the little quirks of the 356, along with Willhoit's personal history on a car he hadn't seen since 1976.
This is a bit more mechanically detailed than Leno's normal videos, but it's on a very interesting subject. Take a look below for the entire film.

Magnus Walker crashes vintage Porsche with reporter inside

Fri, Aug 28 2015

One of the minor storms on the Internet earlier this week concerned Porsche 911 collector and Outlaw tuner Magnus Walker getting in an accident in Minnesota. Walker had shipped his #277 1971 Porsche 911T to the twin city for the opening of a $10-million Porsche dealership there, and the day began with lots of Facebook and Instagram photos of the car posing all over the showroom grounds. This is the same car that we've seen in Jay Leno's Garage, in Midnight Rambler, and in a Need for Speed trailer. Then came a photo of the 911 next to a semi trailer with its driver's side crumpled in and punctured. No one was clear on how it happened, but it seemed to involve swerving out of the way of a Mercedes-Benz on a frontage road by the dealership. Thanks to video from the Minneapolis Star Tribune, now we know what happened. Newspaper reporter Vineeta Sawkar had been doing a story with Walker and wanted to get some video for the piece. During one pass down the frontage road Walker decided to go into a right-hander a little faster than prudent, the car understeered toward the center yellow, and then Walker did the most verboten thing one can do when cornering in a vintage 911: he lifted off the gas. Hello instant rear-engined oversteer. Cue the fishtailing, a millimeter-fine brush with a Pagoda SL, and a crunch into that truck trailer. Sawkar said she was a little battered and bruised but ok, as is Walker – who went on to test drive a GT3 RS later in the day. Head over to the Star Tribune to see the video.
