This Spring, experience the rare opportunity to own a gorgeous red 1984 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet (convertible).
The Sixth Generation (1984-1989) is highly desirable in Porsche Collecting Circles.This beauty has been my husband's pampered Porsche 911 since purchase in 2009. In the past 4 years, he has driven it approximately 500 miles each summer. It is burped and babied and only sees the light of day when the sun is shining and the wife is in the mood for a Blizzard at the local DQ. It has also been known to grace the occasional Classic Car Show.
This vehicle is road-ready, Carfax Certified, with the original Porsche Warranty Voucher Booklet stating a June 27th, 1984 "birth date" in the US (Bill Cook Porsche Audi, Farmington Hills, MI)

Excerpt from Excellence Porsche Buying Guide 2012 pg 61
"BEST BUY
911 Carrera ($20,000-28,000)
The last of the original 911's is also the best, both in terms of refinement and bang for the buck despite costing a few grand more than its 2.7 and 3.0 predecessors. What do you get for the extra dough? A more powerful, more reliable engine, mostly, along with a number of detail changes that make the Carrera that little bit better than the SC. If you want a classic-looking 911 with real reliability and longevity, the Carrera is the one to get."

Porsche picks Maria Sharapova as brand ambassador
Tue, 23 Apr 2013Russian-born tennis superstar Maria Sharapova has just inked a three-year deal with Porsche to be its brand ambassador, a position that will put her on a global campaign for the German automaker. The 26-year-old athlete isn't new to the role - she previously signed a similar three-year deal with Land Rover in 2006.
"Maria Sharapova is an exceptional athlete. She combines top performance in her sports with elegance and power. These are precisely the qualities that are embroiled in our sports cars," explained Matthias Mueller, CEO of Porsche AG, during the announcement. "Her profile and charisma are an ideal fit for Porsche. She is also highly respected around the world and enjoys an outstanding reputation," he added.
Some consider Porsche's choice of a female tennis player as its ambassador interesting, if not surprising. The automaker has traditionally marketed its vehicles with a masculine edge - Sharapova and the sport of tennis position the brand in a different light - likely an intentional decision. Do you think Porsche's choice was a good one? If not, who would you choose as its global ambassador?

50th Anniversary Porsche 911 vs. Jaguar F-Type Coupe is a battle of beauty, brawn
Fri, 13 Jun 2014There can't really be a loser between the Jaguar F-Type Coupe R and the Porsche 911 50th Anniversary Edition. One might be better than the other, but if you're behind the wheel of either of them, you can't complain. In a new video, Motor Trend takes on the difficult task of determining which one of these European powerhouses is the best, not just in terms of raw performance, but also how they actually feel to drive.
The Porsche 911 is one of the perennial favorites of the motoring world. It just doesn't go away and always seems capable of challenging the top vehicles in its class. In this video, Motor Trend takes a look at the 50th Anniversary Edition model that celebrates that heritage while boosting power somewhat over the standard version.
The F-Type Coupe is an incredibly masculine car, MT describing it as "a British Corvette." The coupe's exterior lines are tautly stretched over its athletic body, and it's supercharged 5.0-liter V8 sounds like a demon's growl. Jaguar seems to have things right with its latest sports car.
