maintenance, which included the replacement of all fluids, spark
plugs, filters, alternator drive belt, the left, and right cam oil
feed lines, installment of a new engine sound deadening pad and a
valve adjustment; this totaled $2,688.61. The records on file
reflect an extensive service history in Santa Clara County before
the vehicle eventually made its way down to Orange County where it
has remained ever since. Regular services have been largely
performed by Auto Strasse in Costa Mesa, California since 2018.

History
The 3.2-liter 1984 Porsche 911 Carrera debuted hot on the heels of
a very successful run of 911SC models, built from 1978 to 1983. The
Carrera was priced at $32,000 and shared most of its visual cues
with its immediate predecessor, but benefitted from added power and
performance, as well as other evolutionary updates. The cars came
as they had when the SC bowed out, in a Coupe, Cabriolet, and the
Targa body styles. The chief upgrade in the Carrera was the larger
3.2-liter flat-six engine, which looked much like that of the 3.0
it replaced but was built chiefly of all-new parts. One crucial
change was an improved hydraulic timing chain tensioner, which had
been an issue on previous models. Also new was Bosch Motronic fuel
injection, which replaced the K-Jetronic system. The engine
produced 207 horsepower and came mated to a five-speed manual 915
transmission. This was enough to propel the Carrera from 0 to 60
mph in about 5.5 seconds. You could say the 3.2 Carrera was a grand
finale of sorts, but it was certainly not the end of the road for
the 911.
