1988 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa
G50, Guards Red
A well-documented and lady-enthusiast-owned 1988 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa is offered for sale. It is finished in iconic Guards Red over a black interior. This example features the desirable G50 5-speed manual transmission paired with the legendary 3.2L flat-six engine.
Its current long-term owner acquired the car in March 2009 with 167,239 miles from EuroMasters Classic Cars in Fountain Valley, California. EuroMasters had a strong reputation for thoroughly reconditioning classic Porsches before the sale. The car includes over 75 pages of service records and documentation dating back to 2002, both original keys and the original purchase documents from 2009.
The engine bay is clean and tidy, and the 3.2L starts, runs, and idles smoothly with plenty of power. The G50 transmission shifts smoothly up and down throughout the gears. The clutch was replaced at 173k, and the car recently had an oil service inspection and passed the California smog test. Suspension and braking are tight, and the rear brakes were replaced less than 1,000 miles ago. It rides on Continental Extreme Contact 225/50 ZR16 at the rear (dated 2019), Kumo Ecsta upfront, and P205/55 ZR16 (coded 2014), which need replacement due to age.
Outside, the Guards Red has a nice, glossy shine. The body has PPF at the front, side mirrors, and forward of the rear wheels. Trim, lenses, glass, and the Targa top present well. There has been minor hand touchup here and there, as should be expected for the age, though overall, it is a very nice-looking car.
The cockpit is in very good condition with supple leather, nice and original (except for the aftermarket steering wheel, shift knob and stereo). The air conditioning blows cold, and all systems except the clock are in good working order. Door panels, cards, dash, rear seating and rugs have held up nicely. In addition, the trunk is in good shape with proper covers, rugs, spare, and jack.
