Here is your chance to own one of the last and highly desirable series of the air cooled Porsche 911s. These
Porsches are going up in value rapidly as collectors (both here and in Europe) are buying them up.
Up for sale is this beautiful 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa. This two owner car and has only been driven (not
raced) approximately 2,500 miles per year during its life with the odometer currently showing 72,638 miles. This
Porsche 911 has the bulletproof 3.2L motor and it is equipped with the highly regarded and very smooth shifting,
G50 transmission. This specific 911 was manufactured in February of 1987 and was equipped with numerous options
including designations: C03 California Car; 158 Blaupunkt Reno Radio; 341 Central Locking System/Power Door Locks;
375 Clutch Lining without Asbestos; 454 Cruise Control and 474 Sports Shock Absorbers. Due to the pristine nature
of this vehicle, the original glued on paper assembly line data sheet, confirming the VIN and all ordered options
above is still attached under the hood. Also, because the car has never been in any type of accident nor had any
damage or repairs done to the body, all of the body panels, doors, hood and deck lid still have the original
Porsche stickers with the matching VIN numbers attached. This is a 100% numbers matching car.
The exterior paint is completely original and there has been no repainting anywhere. The Porsche has always been
stored inside under protection so the original black exterior paint is in excellent condition and is both extremely
glossy and highly reflective. There are no door dings or dents in the body. There are some small rock chips to
the hood and front end and one scratch over the right front wheel. There is absolutely no rust on the car
anywhere. The Targa roof does need to have the original vinyl covering replaced. There are no cracks, chips or
scratches to the original front windshield. The fully original interior is also in great shape. The black leather
seats are in very nice shape without any cracking or significant scuffing as is commonly seen on higher mileage
911s. There are no cracks anywhere in the dash and the original carpet is in good shape. Both the power windows
and door locks work perfectly. Mechanically, the 3.2L engine fires up immediately, runs strong and pulls hard
without any smoke or noises. The G50 gearbox shifts smoothly with ease and the synchros feel great in every gear.
The clutch engages properly and has no slippage, chatter or noises. The AC has not been recharged for several
years, so it will not blow any cold air. The brakes are good and they stop the car straight and true. The car has
been upgraded mechanically with a Bursch tuned muffler, a shock tower brace, a K&N air intake filter and a
performance chip. All of the original OEM parts (the muffler, the restrictive air box/filter and the chip) have
been retained and will be included with the sale. If desired, the car can be returned to its fully original state
with these parts very quickly and easily since no modifications were made to the car to add any of the upgrades.
Since the car recently passed its VA inspection, the brake pads and tires pass inspection and all of lights, turn
signals, horn, wipers and other tested items are all working properly.
Finally, this Porsche has its original space saver spare tire, jack, air compressor and the complete toolkit. It
also comes with the original brown Porsche vinyl folder containing the Owner’s Manual, Maintenance and Warranty
Book, and the Dealer Directory. A clean Carfax report can also be provided.
Please feel free to ask any questions.
It is becoming hard to find the 1987-1989 air cooled Porsche 911s in good condition. Buy your appreciating classic
car now.

Porsche 356 Outlaw is the other Continental
Wed, 25 Jun 2014In Porsche parlance, 'outlaw' basically means 'hot rod,' and that definition can vary from person to person. For Jack Griffin and his 1955 Porsche 356 Continental, it means taking a great car to start with and reworking it to become a classic coupe that fits its driver perfectly. The latest video from Petrolicious highlights Griffin's 356 and all of the personalization he has in the beautiful ride.
Griffin acquired this 356 in 1994, but it came in rough shape. That made it the perfect canvas to transform the coupe into the Porsche of his dreams. On the outside, only things like the hood-mounted fuel filler, louvered decklid and Fuchs wheels give it away as something special, but underneath, it is modernized to be a faster, more robust car. Griffin considers it "a piece of art on wheels."
Hearing the Continental name associated with Griffin's Porsche might be throwing you, since it's normally more associated with Lincoln, but Griffin tells the whole story of what makes it so special on his '55 in the video. Scroll down to get an automotive history lesson and check out this fantastic 356 hot rod.
Porsche 911 GT spied streaking at the Nurburgring
Mon, Jul 20 2015At any given moment, you can bet that Porsche is testing some new version of the 911. When we see those prototypes undergoing testing, they're typically camouflaged, at least in part, to keep us from seeing what Zuffenhausen (or Weissach) is up to. But this particular example is completely undisguised. So what are we looking at, exactly? Well, for starters, it's likely the upcoming facelifted version of the current 911. The current 991 generation has been on the market now for four years, so the 991.2 (or 991.5, perhaps?) will likely be tasked with keeping Porsche's iconic sports car current for several more years to come. This version can be seen with front air intakes similar to those on the Cayman GT4, along with updated headlights, LED strips, new door handles, ventilated rear engine cover, reprofiled rear bumper, fresh taillights, and a new exhaust. The far bigger development is that the updated 911 is expected to ditch natural aspiration in favor of downsized turbocharged engines across almost the entire range – not just in the 911 Turbo. This particular version we see here, however, could be one of the few hold-outs for atmospheric pressure. That's because what we're looking at could be the upcoming back-to-basics version being prepared by the GT division – the same outfit responsible for the 911 GT3, GT3 RS, and Cayman GT4. Possibly adopting the name GT5, this new version of the 911 is anticipated to be the purist's choice: naturally aspirated flat-six, three-pedal manual transmission, skinny tires, no frills. This undisguised prototype appears to be packing a production roll cage and thin, leather-clad bucket seats – splitting the difference between racing buckets and the usual, thicker thrones. We'll have to wait a bit longer until Porsche is ready to release all the details of the refreshed 911, hopefully to include that GT version. But for an unadulterated taste of what's to come, look no further than the spy shots in the image gallery above. Related Video:
Motor Trend holds World's Greatest Drag Race for the third time
Fri, 23 Aug 2013As part of Motor Trend's Best Driver's Car competition, the buff book has held its third iteration of the World's Greatest Drag Race. With an airfield and a dozen of the world's finest performance cars at its disposal (oh, and a helicopter), the MT team did what any good group of enthusiasts would do, and tried to figure what car could cover a quarter mile the quickest. World's greatest drag race, indeed.
The contestants, as MT points out, cover a huge variety of engine types, drivelines, aspiration types and body styles, making for a genuinely varied and interesting field of competitors. Here's the full list of cars taking part.
