Vehicle Description
There are cars that are at the exact right time to collect; there
are cars you'll love to drive; and this 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera is
both. After all, this is the year the 3.2 was mated to the highly
desirable upgraded G50 five-speed, and while all 911s from this era
are special, this example has a particularly interesting
pedigree.
Porsche people probably picked up on some of the upgrades in the
first glance. This coupe has been given the bumpers and rear panel
of the later 964 series. It's a far more sophisticated impression
that feels a bit European. And maybe that's quite fitting for this
911. After all you might have noticed the mileage on the dash is in
kilometers (135K km is about 83K miles) that's because this was
imported privately. But beyond just a cool story, the upgraded
image looks fantastic on the super slick black paint. You'll love
how the sunlight rolls off of all of this Porsche's legendary
curves. For added distinction the wheels continue the dark color
and bight shine theme with the 17-inch SP alloys (it really makes
those red calipers stand out nicely, right?)
No other door opens with the same mechanical and deliberate sound
like a classic 911 does. Enthusiasts turn around when they hear
that iconic 'pop' (yes it sounds crazy, but true.) And when people
look, they will see a dark black interior that coordinates nicely
with the rest of the car. You sit down in recently recovered seats
that power adjust to the exact right feeling for comfort and
performance. In front of you is the upgraded Momo three-spoke
sports steering wheel. Porsche's race-ready sensibilities means the
tachometer is directly in front of the driver. The rest of the
instruments surround this in their own clearly marked pods to give
you a comprehensive view of what's going on with the engine. While
this 911 is obviously a driver's car, it doesn't skip on
comfortable features. It includes a sunroof, power windows, cruise
control, provisions for air conditioning, and an upgraded AM/FM/CD
stereo with Blaupunkt speakers.
Beneath the rear hatch is the best part of any 911. The
fuel-injected 3.2-liter Carrera flat-six was an exceptional
evolution of Porsche's legendary powerplant. This is a performance
motor that loves to intoxicate you with its unique air-cooled song,
and it's heightened even further on this example thanks to the dual
exhaust. 1987 is a pivotal year for 911 fans, because it was again,
the introduction of the G50 five-speed transmission. This was a
more robust gearbox base on which Porsche utilized to drive its
sports car reputation right up until modern times. From a driver's
standpoint it gives you the confidence to take this coupe on an
adventure. And that's the whole point of owning a car like this.
The moment you find an open road, it's time to downshift and smile
wide. That's why it also comes with Porsche's legendary steering
feedback, four-wheel disc brakes, and grippy Pirelli tires. So
you'll instantly know why there is no substitute.
Here's a 911 coupe nicely presented with all the right features,
and an interesting story to go with it. This is the classic that
proves you'll love driving your collectables. So if you need
something unique and beautiful in your garage, call today!
