Trim: Carrera
1987 Porsche 911 Carrera. This is a very solid, driver grade 911, based on the unusual color combination (Diamond Blue Metallic/ Dark blue interior) I believe this is a celebration edition Carrera. The G50 911s are considered by many to be the "best of breed" and offer some substantial improvements the most notable being the addition of the superior G50 gearbox over the antiquated 915 version. The paint on this car shows very, very will with the exception of the rear deck. A prior owner fitted a goofy wing that we removed, there are three holes in the rear deck that we have plugged. There is also a bit of a stain on the paint where the rubber gasket sat between the deck and spoiler. I suspect that these will buff out but a perfectionist would want to have the holes repaired and the lid painted. In my opinion, it is fine for a car that is a driver.
Mechanically, the car is very sound. We just fitted a set of polished Fuchs wheels with brand new Pirelli tires we also serviced the brakes with cross drilled rotors and new ceramic pads. The AC has been converted to R134a and recharged. I've had this car out on several 100+ mile runs and it has performed flawlessly. The interior shows typical 911 wear, the front seat and dash both have cracks and would eventually benefit from some TLC. An aftermarket sound system was fitted at some point, there are no speakers currently fitted so audiophiles will want to address that at some point in the future should the sound of a flat six not suffice.
A local viewing is welcome and encouraged with appointment. We are happy to help buyers worldwide with shipping and freight logistics.

Porsche 911 RSR stops just long enough to have its photo taken
Tue, 04 Mar 2014When it comes to Porsche and its rapidly escalating endurance racing program, all eyes may be on the new 919 Hybrid - and with good reason: that's the vehicle with which Porsche will be challenging the likes of Audi and Toyota for wins in the top-tier LMP1 class of the FIA World Endurance Championship and at Le Mans. But it's the 911 RSR that does and will continue to form the backbone of the factory's effort.
The 470-horsepower racing version of the road-going 911 took a one-two finish in its class at Le Mans last year, and also won its class at the Daytona 24 this past January as well. This year Porsche will field two of them in the WEC, another two in the United SportsCar Championship here in the US and will sell countless more to customer racing teams that will undoubtedly continue to rack up trophies in racing series around the world. This, then, might be a unique chance to see one standing still. Check it out in our gallery of live images above from the Geneva Motor Show.
Leno buys classic Porsche 356 Carrera 2, seeks out and finds perfect expert for help
Mon, 19 Aug 2013The world of collector cars is fairly tight-knit when you get down to individual models. Need proof? Just take a look at this latest video from Jay Leno's Garage. The subject is a gorgeous 1963 Porsche 356 Carrera 2. Jay, being known as quite a collector, got a call from someone looking to sell. While doing his due diligence and looking for a 356 expert to go over the car with him, he came across John Willhoit.
Where the story gets weird is when Leno is asked the license plate number - it turns out that Willhoit, owner of Willhoit Restorations, had restored the exact same car more than 30 years prior. He then sold it to the same person that was looking to give it to Leno. What follows is a truly interesting video on the little quirks of the 356, along with Willhoit's personal history on a car he hadn't seen since 1976.
This is a bit more mechanically detailed than Leno's normal videos, but it's on a very interesting subject. Take a look below for the entire film.
Porsche finally gives up the goods on 2014 Macan
Wed, 20 Nov 2013Preparing a beachhead in the marketplace for the 2014 Porsche Macan crossover has been a years-long project for the German company. We've been hearing and reporting on rumors of the vehicle from its ideation stage and have covered the Macan's birth thoroughly over the last 12 months, including teasers, rumors, spy shots, leaked videos and more. Now, just ahead of the LA Auto Show-debut of Porsche's first-ever compact crossover, the wait for details is at an end.
Porsche will offer the crossover in two flavors to start: Macan S and Macan Turbo. The S model will be fitted with a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine that makes 340 horsepower and will push the vehicle from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 5.2 seconds, then on to a top speed of 156 miles per hour. The Macan Turbo has even more impressive figures on all fronts: an all-new, 400-horsepower, twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6 engine; 0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds; top speed of 164 mph. Both models make use of Porsche's seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission as standard.
As impressive as these potent powertrains are the brakes Porsche is fitting to its new crossover. Six-piston monobloc fixed-caliper brakes live up front, grabbing 13.78-inch discs on the S model and tremendous 14.17-inch discs on the Macan Turbo. We're expecting serious stopping performance, to say the least.
