THE 1987 CARRERA BROUGHT A COUPLE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE
PORSCHE 911. THE ENGINE WAS RETUNED TO RUN ON PREMIUM-UNLEADED
FUEL, WHICH INCREASED HORSEPOWER TO 217 AND THE TORQUE TO 195
LB-FT. THE 15 YEAR OLD PORSCHE 915 GEARBOX WAS REPLACED BY THE
GETRAG G50, WHICH USED A HYDRAULICALLY ACTUATED CLUTCH INSTEAD OF
THE PREVIOUS CABLE SYSTEM, AND IT HAD A GEAR SELECTOR CENTERING
SPRING FOR NEUTRAL. THIS IMPROVED SHIFTED THROWS WITH A MORE
DEFINED GATE.
OUR CAR IS THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF A WELL MAINTAINED DAILY DRIVER.
THIS CAR HAS LIVED THE GOOD LIFE FROM CALIFORNIA TO FLORIDA. WITH
GREAT SERVICE RECORDS DATING BACK TO 2002 AND A 150,000 MILES, THIS
CAR STILL MAINTAINS A CLEAN CARFAX, THE MOST NOTABLE SERVICE
HISTORY INCLUDE AN ENGINE REBUILD AT 126,000 MILES IN 2013 AND
GLASS OUT RESPRAY IN THE FACTORY NOUGAT BROWN METALLIC IN 2015. THE
ORIGINAL MAHOGANY AND PARTIAL LEATHER INTERIOR SHOW VERY LITTLE
WEAR FOR ITS AGE. WEIGHING IN AT JUST 2,976 POUNDS, THIS CAR IS
LIGHT, FAST, AND READY TO DRIVE. A PORSCHE CLASSIC TECHNICAL
CERTIFICATE HAS VERIFIED THE FACTORY OPTIONS INCLUDE CALIFORNIA
EMISSION COMPLIANT, FUCHS WHEELS, FOG LIGHTS, POWER SLIDING

SPORTS CAR. TO PURCHASE THIS GREAT CAR PLEASE CONTACT OUR CLASSIC
