1985 Porsche 911 Carrera Convertible 2-door 3.2l on 2040-cars

Year:1985 Mileage:187000
Location:

San Diego, California, United States

San Diego, California, United States

This 1985 Carrera has had a considerable amount of money spent on it over the past few years (over $17,500....), making it a great example of a 3.2 Porsche 911 which will not need a penny spent on it for years to come (for example the brand new gearbox has less than 2000 miles on it).  It is a Euro model and was imported into the US in the late 80's directly from Germany.  As a Euro model it sports the narrower rear bumper overriders, has the more powerful tune on the 3.2 engine and even comes with the original Owners Manual written in German.

Here are the details:

1. Exterior:  The car was repainted approx. 5 years ago and garaged ever since.  The paint is in excellent condition with the only exceptions being some minor scratches on the hood (I have included a picture, but it is difficult to see the scratch in the picture).    The convertible roof is in excellent condition and as the car lives in Southern California, the roof is stowed permanently so never gets exposed to the elements.  The plastic rear window is clear, though there are some brown spots appearing around the edges. 

2. Wheels and Tires: Brand new tires on the car with less than 20 miles on them - they were only fitted a couple of days ago.  The car sits on brand new 17" rims and the original factory 911 'Phone dial' wheels also come with the car.

3. Interior: Black leather is in good condition with no rips or tears.  There are no cracks on the dash and carpets are all in excellent condition

4. Mechanical: The engine was completely rebuilt less than 20,000 miles ago (details below) in addition to most of the ancillary items being replaced.  The gearbox has less than 2000 miles on it and naturally the clutch was replaced during the gearbox upgrade.

5. Suspension: Turbo tie-rods have been added, but otherwise the suspension is stock and rides at the correct factory ride height

Details of the money spent on the car:

Gearbox: New transmission installed by Charlie's Foreign Can (San Diego) - receipt for $5086 available (includes new axle boots etc.)

Suspension: Turbo tie-rods installed by Charlie's Foreign Car (San Diego) - receipt for $1330 available

Engine: Rebuild by Motor Meister (Downey, CA) - 3.2 Motor Rebuild Stage #1. Full list of everything done available. Receipts totaling $11280 available

History: Service History dating back to 1989 comes with the car

Accessories: Tonneau cover and car cover both come with the car


So in summary, a desirable Euro model 911 Carrera which has recently had large sums of money spent on it, which lives in the dry Southern California climate and is in great overall condition.  It's not a show car and there are some minor things which need to be fixed - the clock doesn't work (normal for almost all mid-eighties 911s) and the interior light is not working (possibly just a bulb).

If you are interested in bidding, I strongly recommend you come and view the car yourself.  If you cannot come and look at it, please send me any questions - I'm happy to give you any information you might need.

Good luck bidding!

Please Note: EBay would not allow me to enter the correct VIN for some reason. Here is the correct VIN for the car - VIN: WP0ZZZ91ZFS151472

Motor Trend hits Laguna Seca with Ferrari F12, Chevy Corvette, Porsche 911

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

According to the crew at Motor Trend, we should think of the video below "as an addendum to Best Driver's Car," a test the magazine put together that elevated the 2013 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S above all others in the category of driving joy. It seems the brand-new 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray wasn't able to take part in the magazine's official test, and neither was the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta.
And so Motor Trend did the only logical thing: It procured both the 'Vette and Prancing Horse as soon as it could, and put them both on track with the Driver's Car-winning 911. Of course, these cars don't actually compete against each other - the Ferrari offers up 731 horsepower and wears an asking price of $434,144 as tested, which means you could buy four loaded Corvettes for the price of one F12, and still have money left for a garage to store them in - but that's not the point of this particular test.
The point of this test isn't to listen to the beautiful sounds coming from the Porsche's flat-six-cylinder, the Corvette's pushrod V8 or the Ferrari's luscious V12, either, but the video below is worth watching for those three reasons alone. You know what to do.

Watch onboard video of the Porsche 918 Spyder's record 'Ring lap

Tue, 10 Sep 2013

"Pics or it didn't happen!" You could almost hear the Internet shouting this when news started to trickle in about a sub-seven-minute Nürburgring lap by the new Porsche 918 Spyder. Well, after an official press release, which we ran earlier today, we have your "pics." Moving pics, to be more exact. Porsche has released on-board footage of the 6:57 lap.
The video, which runs about eight-and-a-half minutes, and shows the 918 from inside the car on a flying lap of the German track. Perhaps what's remarkable is just how undramatic it all looks. Sure, there's some sawing at the wheel from test driver Marc Lieb (one of three testers, including legendary rally king Walter Röhrl), but he makes wrangling the Martini-liveried 918 look kind of easy.
Take a look down below for the full, on-board video, and then click over and read our initial write-up from earlier this morning and take a glance at the more stylized video that Porsche originally posted.

Magnus Walker soliloquizes in his Porsche 911 at night

Fri, 23 Aug 2013

Magnus Walker, a prolific Los Angeles clothing designer who has also carved out a respected spot for himself in Porsche world, has had yet another video made about him and his sizable Porsche collection. In this latest video, Hong Kong-based Obscura magazine focuses its video cameras on Walker and his 1971 Porsche 911 track car (yes, the one that appeared on Jay Leno's Garage) as he speeds around Downtown LA and Little Tokyo late at night.
We've heard Walker's story many times before. He's not like the average Porsche owner, perhaps a tad more passionate than most, and he builds 911s like he designs clothes: his way. Sure, we might be a little envious, but can you blame us? View this very slick and entertaining nighttime video entitled Disturbing The Peace below.
