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.

1983 Motorweek showdown pits Porsche 928S vs. Chevy Camaro Z28
Mon, Jan 12 2015Last month, Motor Trend threw the Camaro Z/28 and Porsche 911 GT3 into the bear pit and let them fight it out. Way back in 1983, MotorWeek had the same idea, comparing the Camaro Z/28 to the Porsche 928S. At the time, the Camaro was America's best selling sports coupe, the 928S was Porsche's top-of-the-line model that also had the highest top speed of any car sold here. And the price differential was even more stark then: $13,600 for the Camaro, $45,000 for the Porsche. That put the Z/28's cast-iron, 5.0-liter V8 with 190 horsepower and 240 pound-feet of torque against the all-aluminum 4.7-liter V8 with 234 hp and 263 lb-ft in the 928S. Even with that and the Camaro being 14 inches longer than the Porsche, the American was a surprising 40 pounds lighter than the German. The show took them to Summit Point Raceway in West Virginia to see how close a relative performance bargain could hang with a the German GT. Both had five-speed manual transmissions, but the high-speed corners and tight sections of Summit Point would test other handling variables, including the "bone-rattling" Camaro's solid rear axle and disc and drum brake setup vis-a-vis the four-wheel disc brakes and independent suspension on the "firm-but-smooth" Porsche. Paradoxically, the larger disparity 22 years ago resulted in a closer result. Check out the video to see how the Summit was won.

10 most memorable cars and SUVs of 2019
Tue, Dec 24 2019It's no surprise that a car reviewer will drive a large number of cars over the course of a year. Indeed, when the clock strikes midnight on Dec 31, I will have driven 75 new cars, trucks and SUV this year (and one old Peugeot) over the course of weekly evaluation loans and first drive events. That sure seems like a lot. Some definitely got more attention than others, and some came and went without leaving much of an impression – I completely forgot I drove a Kia Forte. Yet in the spirit of this day, I thought I'd pick the 10 that I would love to see under the Christmas tree tomorrow morning. You know, just in case you were looking to get me something. I'll also throw in a couple disappointments that were memorable for the wrong reasons. They'd get sent back to the store on Boxing Day. Lexus LC 500 Pictured below and resplendent in its Flare Yellow metallic paint, the car that would reach highest on my list is the divine Lexus LC 500. As a devout lover of GT cars, the LC ticks all the boxes. Muscular and characterful engine? V8, check. Beautifully made and memorable interior? It's gorgeous, to hell with Remote Touch. Check. Comfortable and reasonably practical? Superb seats and, uh, yeah. Makes me want to stand there and stare at it? You bet. Though I long figured my heart would say LC but my head "Porsche 911," after this go-around, that's no longer the case. LC, pretty please. 2020-lexus-lc500-f34-2 View 19 Photos Polestar 1 I actually feel lucky that I got to drive the Polestar 1. Only 150 will be produced each year, and it's a far more special thing than it would initially appear. And that's despite initially appearing to be a beautiful, classic two-door GT car with a roof so rakish it's only possible because it's made of carbon fiber. That itÂ’s a massively powerful plug-in hybrid with more all-electric range than any other PHEV is a thick dollop of whipped cream on a slice of Toscakaka. You know, Swedish dessert, Swedish car. Fine, I'll stick to Ikea references. Polestar1_Launch_SanFrancisco-0014 View 44 Photos Volvo V60 Cross Country Speaking of Sweden, did I drive this car off the road there? Sure did! And despite this, the V60 Cross Country scratches that certain wagon itch and looks sensational to boot. I wish it were available with the T8 plug-in hybrid powertrain, but it's best not to get greedy at Christmas.
