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

Proof the world revolves around the Porsche Cayman

Sat, 27 Apr 2013

Or at least the world revolves underneath the Porsche Cayman, in the latest video showing off Stuttgart's mid-engine coupe. Porsche put an Easter egg in the world that spins triple-time, a "famous relative" of the Cayman hidden somewhere on the marble planet, and gave a Porsche Martini bag to one of the first 50 people who could point it out.
With more than 300 views there's no chance you'll win the bag, but you can still go on the treasure hunt in the video below.

Porsche tuners 9ff, SpeedArt going bankrupt

Thu, 19 Sep 2013

Times are tough in Europe right now, and that unfortunately has reaped disastrous consequences for some of its smallest niche automakers. Gumpert, Wiesmann, Artega and Lola have all filed for bankruptcy this year, and it appears that tuners are not immune to the tough times, either.
Word coming in from across the pond suggests that 9ff and SpeedArt - two of the biggest names in Porsche tuning - have filed for bankruptcy as well. 9ff is best known for the GT9, a radical hypercar barely based on the 911, while SpeedArt was once of the foremost tuners of Porsches.
Fortunately there are still plenty of tuners ready to take a wrench to your Elfen, but the reported demise of these two makes the market a little bit smaller and - for Porsche enthusiasts - maybe the world a little bit lonelier, too.

KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners

Sat, 30 Mar 2013

The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.
