If you ask any Porsche enthusiast, what is the best 911 ever built? Most agree: the 1987-89 Carrera. Why? It's simple, really. It is the last 911 to feature a body style now considered "classic" and the first to incorporate technological advancements such as the vaunted GETRAG G-50 transmission. The Carrera struck the perfect balance between old school and jet age. It is a far cry from the hyper-complex, bloated, electronically regulated, heavyweight 4-seater offered up by Zuffenhausen today. No, this Carrera is the last user friendly Porsche that can be worked on with hand tools instead of plug-and-play computers. Thusly, 26 years later, the last 3.2 Carreras are eminently collectible sports cars. "Buy The Best original example of the Classic you desire, and you'll never be sorry!" is certainly great advice. But finding a pristine example of the 1987-89 G-50 Carrera is not that easy. After 25+ years, these cars are so good that many have logged over 200,000 miles; and are finally showing their age, needing everything. Not surprisingly, perhaps, resale values for the coveted "G-50 Carreras" are strong; typically, higher-mileage examples with questionable repair history carry $20-30K price tags. Finding an immaculate 911, one of the top 1% of survivors, is like winning the lottery. One of just 2,232 Carrera Targas made for the 1988 model year, VIN *WP0EB0916JS160255* comes with only 71,425 miles (hardly broken in) and a clean Vehicle History Report to prove it. Living a sheltered life among a private Porsche collection owned by a mature, prominent businessman in Monterey, the car has never left the Golden State. Hence, a unique opportunity arises to obtain a coveted 3.2 liter Carrera, one that spent all its life in a most beneficial climate, pampered beyond belief by an owner with big pockets and the willingness to pay up for the best service money can buy. Let's check out this dream find now, inside and out. We start our inspection with the trunk, since this area can deliver valuable clues about a Porsche's true condition.
The featherlight, folding Targa top can be stowed inside the trunk to facilitate unrestricted open-air pleasures. Complete tool roll is still present.
Below the perfect gray felt mat, everything looks pristinely original.
The naked trunk reveals the naked truth. Looking forward, from the untouched VREDESTEIN Space Master spare to the corrosion free battery area; everything is as virginal as it gets.
With or without the top, this black Carrera looks striking.
And yes, the finish is 100% original!
To call the paint "well preserved" would be a gross understatement; the truly marvelous finish has retained its magical luster over the years and still appears stunningly beautiful today.
Euro side markers are a nice addition This Targa has never suffered any damage; there are no door dings, only few blems and rock chips to report.
Hood and door gaps are in perfect alignment; confirming the Carrera's pampered existence for the past 26 years.
Porsche rolls on the 16-inch FUCHS wheels with Toyo Proxes tires of the size 205/55R16 front and 245/50R16 rear. While we’re down on one knee, let’s have a look underneath. Area below trunk, including the front suspension pan, looks marvelous as well. It's damage free, clean as a whistle, with all factory finishes preserved in reference quality. More important than shiny paint is a healthy undercarriage. This original chassis presents itself free of any kind of damage or corrosion. Perfectly undisturbed, the undercarriage displays all the factory-applied coatings, including some Zuffenhausen-generated paint overspray. There's no rust, no flaking, no damage, just the all-original finishes.
Most importantly, there is absolutely NO evidence of corrosion, collision damage or any other mishap that would cause the enthusiast sleepless nights.
How about a quick peek under the deck lid?
Engine compartment looks bone stock and clean as a whistle. Even the factory decals are still in place.
The indestructible 3.2-Liter engine featuring BOSCH MOTRONIC runs excellent, delivering 217 strong Teutonic horses at 5,900rpm. Woo-Hoo!!
Please, note that this matching numbers engine is completely stock and unmodified; even the emissions equipment is still present and fully operational.
Frog's eye view: Notice stainless steel exhaust system. Engine's bottom end. Dry and clean, there's not a single oil leak to note. Recently serviced, no wear item has been left unattended; as a result, this Carrera is mechanically as strong as it is cosmetically.
Speaking of cosmetics, let us stress how immaculate the body is, how perfect the bumpers, how glossy the paint: if you wouldn't know differently, you'd think to be looking at a 6-year-old, not a 26-year-old car. This one is that clean!
Let's have a look inside now!
The inviting, 6-way power front seats exude a fantastic aroma; let's investigate!
Classic black 911 interior provides plenty of space, even for 6'6"-tall NBA players.
Leather rear seats; "Pristine" is the only way to describe them properly. Car is fully optioned with ice cold A/C, power disc brakes, seats, mirrors, windows, and even cruise control. Everything works perfectly, of course.
The iconic 911 cockpit featuring five large, circular, white-on-black dials with bright orange pointers, a timeless design. You can't improve upon perfection!
Note the new-for-'88 steering wheel.
And the 071,423 miles shown on the 6-digit odometer are original!
From the Cruise Control to the Blaupunkt AM/FM Cassette audio system; everything still works and sounds great..
Books, manuals, and documents found inside the red vinyl pouch include the owner's manual, maintenance book, dealer directory, accessories brochure and radio instruction manual. And there's also a spare key set. The condition of this leather interior is consistent only with a cherished, low-mileage car that's been garaged all its life.
Drivability: Driving such a low-mileage Carrera is a pure delight; praised be the German engineers. The car starts, runs, drives, shifts, corners, and stops perfectly.
Naturally, a super clean Porsche like this one is a prime attention getter, garnering excited comments wherever you go. From the air conditioner to the clock, everything works as intended. Recently serviced, (receipts included) there's nothing left to do but to drive and enjoy!
The GETRAG G-50 5-speed transmission with its BORG WARNER synchromesh system certainly can handle the Carrera motor's torque; the hydraulic clutch ensures ease of operation. Be it as a daily driver or a cherished collectible, this 911 provides unequalled driving enjoyment, free of depreciation.
You will not see another '87-'89 Carrera coming even close to this particular low-mileage specimen. It's a pristine car, inside and out, with full documentation and no stories. A true heirloom quality 911, with proper care it can be driven forever, until you are ready to pass it on to the next generation. Final words of wisdom: Presently, we have a clear, CA Title.

Porsche 912 is no longer the brand's black sheep
Fri, Dec 12 2014If you haven't looked recently, prices for many vintage Porsche 911s are now well out of the realm for mortal men to purchase. However, the growing values have their advantages because they mean that the 912 is being better accepted as a member of the Porsche family. In a new video, Petrolicious talks to one owner about his mildly modified example while the coupe zips through the backroads and city streets of France. Launched around the time of the 911, the 912 shared its body but retained the four-cylinder engine from the 356, rather than the new six. The older mill helped make the 912 cheaper to buy, but it also tarnished the coupe in the eyes of Porsche fans for years. Much like the four-cylinder 914 and 924, the 912 just seemed like a black sheep in the shadow of its more powerful brother. Following two massive changes to his life, Julien Borne bought a 1967 912 as a project to get back on the road. After hours of welding, wrenching and beating out panels by hand in his grandparents' neglected country house, he crafted this gorgeous example. Check out the video to hear his story, as Petrolicious shows why the model's stigma is wearing off.
Recharge Wrap-up: Ford's "snowtonomous" Fusion Hybrid, Porsche eyes battery makers
Fri, Mar 11 2016Bosch and Panasonic are vying to be the battery supplier for Porsche's electric sports car based on the Mission E concept. While Bosch's costs may be higher, its solution would offer simpler logistics. Panasonic is already well established as a battery maker, providing the packs for the Porsche car's rival, Tesla. "We're in the final stage of making a decision," says Porsche CEO Oliver Blume, declining to comment on specific manufacturers. Neither Bosch nor Panasonic provided comment. Read more from Automotive News. Renault will supply a fleet of 150 Renault Zoe EVs for a smart solar charging project in Utrecht, Netherlands. The project involves the installation of 1,000 EV chargers powered by 10,000 photovoltaic panels. The Renault Zoes would be used as part of a carsharing program powered by the solar chargers. Renault and its partners will also implement a vehicle-to-grid system to provide energy during peak demand from the solar chargers and connected EVs. Read more in the press release from Renault. Ford has been testing an autonomous Fusion Hybrid prototype that is capable of driving itself in snowy conditions. Ford uses 3D mapping to scan the drive route. Its LiDAR laser mapping can even detect single falling snowflakes. It collects and processes up to 600 gigabytes of data per hour, comparing its environment to saved maps, a process that helps establish location more precisely than GPS. In addition to the LiDAR systems, the car is also equipped with cameras and radar to help it navigate. Eventually, the car could even be able to clean off its sensors when it detects loss of performance from ice and dirt. Read more in the press release below. FROM AUTONOMY TO SNOWTONOMY: HOW FORD FUSION HYBRID AUTONOMOUS RESEARCH VEHICLE CAN NAVIGATE IN WINTER DEARBORN, Mich., March 10, 2016 – Driving in snow can be a slippery challenge, with the potential for one blizzardy gust to white-out your field of view – a situation faced by the majority of people in the United States. So if self-driving cars are to become a reality – and they almost certainly will – they must be able to navigate snow-covered roads. In its quest to bring self-driving vehicles to millions of people around the world, Ford reveals six facts about its technology that allows for a car to drive itself in snow. 1. Mapping the way: Ford first creates high-resolution 3D maps using LiDAR technology to scan the area its autonomous vehicle will later drive in the snow.
Daughter has great taste, gives stepdad Porsche 914 of his youth
Mon, 14 Jul 2014Children require a ton of sacrifices; even people without kids know that. Whether it's the time to watch a baseball game or the money just to get there, parents have to give up something for the betterment of their offspring. Of course, once a child grows up, it's finally possible to repay mom and dad for all of their hard work. In the case of Kristin Russell and her stepdad, Dave, that involves a surprise 1973 Porsche 914.
Before he got married, Dave had a sweet, white 914. He even had the money saved up to restore it, but spent the cash on the wedding instead. The Porsche languished in the garage until Dave eventually parted it out and sold it off. Years later, Russell wanted to do something to thank her stepdad for all of the things he had done for her and her mom. The only fitting thank you was an identical 914 to the one that he gave up. Scroll down to watch Dave's reaction of getting his dream car as a surprise Father's Day gift.
