You are viewing a beautiful 1986 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet. This 911 is finished in gorgeous Grand Prix white with burgundy leather and a black convertible top. This car was in California for most of its life so there is zero rust. I have a clean and clear title plus a clean auto check report with no accident history. Here are some details,
- 3.2 liter air cooled engine
- Rebuilt 5 speed transmission
- Power windows
- Power mirrors
- AC with many new parts and R134 conversion
- Sony CD with remote changer
- Front and rear spoilers

- Short shift
- Clean burgundy leather interior
- Power seats
- Orig. owners manuals, jack, spare, tools, etc.
- European tail light lenses
- Free shipping with buy if buy it now used
- Etc.
The paint and body on this Porsche are in very nice condition. The auto check report is clean with no accidents and the car still maintains all of its original body panels. All of the VIN # stickers, inspection stickers, and even the option code sticker are still present in their original locations. The body is super straight with only a few minor dings which don't detract from this car's overall excellent condition. The paint is beautiful. It has great depth and shines up like new. Grand Prix white is really a hard color to beat on these older Porsches. There are only a few minor nicks, chips, etc. Overall, the paint looks outstanding as you can see in the pics! The interior is very nice as well with minor wear showing on the driver's seat bolster. The dash, door panels, carpeting, rear seats, etc. all show excellent. It is very obvious that this car has always been very well taken care of and garage kept. The canvas top looks great too with the exception of two very small punctures which have been patched. The back window looks clear. The top seals up very well with very little wind noise. The color matched Fuchs alloys really set this car off. This really is a sharp 911.
Mechanically, the car is sound. The 3.2 liter flat 6 starts easily and runs great. it does not run hot, smoke, knock, leak oil, etc. It holds perfect oil pressure and pulls strong through all 5 gears. The transmission shifts perfectly and was rebuilt just 9K miles ago. The car also received a brake job and was lowered and aligned at this time as well. Mileage on the car during all of this service work was 96,033. I have the receipts. The car drives exceptionally well and is a pleasure to operate. The only thing that the car will need soon is rear tires ( they are getting a little thin). Otherwise, the car needs nothing and everything seems to work as it should including the lights, turn signals, wipers, horn, clock, AC, heat, defrost, power windows, stereo, etc. Remember, I have a clean and clear title, auto check report, service records, books, etc. for this 911. Simply fly in and enjoy your drive home. Or, if you choose to use the buy it now option I will ship this car to your home free of charge as well as put 2 new rear tires on the car at my expense! Don't miss this opportunity to own this future classic Porsche.
Many of my auctions end with just a phone call. I can arrange shipping worldwide and have shipped numerous Porsches to Europe, etc. 205-276-1918.

Porsche planning Cayman GT4 racer
Fri, 10 Oct 2014To say that Porsche is big in racing is like saying that Warren Buffett dabbles in mergers and acquisitions. But while it fields the 919 Hybrid at Le Mans and in the FIA World Endurance Championship, the bulk of its racing activities are undertaken by private teams that buy customer racecars from the factory. Those in turn are largely based on the 911, but the latest intel from the motor racing world indicates that Zuffenhausen is planning a more accessible customer race car.
The new, more affordable competition car is to be based on the Cayman and built to GT4 specifications, slotting in below the 911-based GT3 Cup, GT3 R and RSR. Autosport reports that Porsche has already developed a prototype and will shortly commence testing. Details are scarce at the moment, but the Cayman GT4 would seem to compete against the likes of the Aston Martin Vantage N24, Nissan 370Z Nismo GT4 and Maserati GranTurismo MC. It will also likely help Porsche foster enthusiasm for a potential road version that's already been spotted undergoing testing. Previous GT4 racing conversions of the Cayman, like the one pictured above, were carried out by third-party racing constructors not recognized by the factory.
Porsche may not be the only one showing interest in the category, however. BMW is said to similarly be considering a GT4-spec version of its M235i Racing model to compete in the same class, taking the place of the defunct M3 GT4 as the Bavarian marque's entry-level customer racing car.
Porsche busts out new Boxster GTS and Cayman GTS
Wed, 19 Mar 2014Baby 911. The poor man's Porsche. That's what they called the Boxster when it debuted some 20 years ago. They said the same of the first Cayman when it arrived a decade later, but they stopped saying it when the latest iterations hit the scene two years ago. That's because Zuffenhausen's entry-level models have long since stepped out of their big brother's shadow and into their own. And that's all the more true of the new Boxster GTS and Cayman GTS.
Based on the Boxster S and Cayman S, the new GTS models benefit from an enhanced 3.4-liter flat six that produces 330 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque in the roadster or 340 hp and 280 lb-ft in the coupe - representing an increase of 15 hp and 7 lb-ft in either model. Both also come with the Sport Chrono package as standard, along with adjustable suspension and 20-inch alloys, blacked out to match the dynamic headlight surrounds and other muted trim.
Those disappointed by the unavailability of a manual transmission in the fire-prone 911 GT3 will be pleased to note that a six-speed manual comes standard, but those enamored of letting a pair of clutches shift themselves seamlessly will want to spring for the optional seven-speed DCT. So equipped and with launch control engaged, the Boxster GTS will rocket from a standstill to 62 miles per hour in 4.7 seconds, while the incrementally lighter, more powerful Cayman will hit it in 4.6. Either way you're looking at a third of a second quicker than the Boxster/Cayman S. There's also a 20-millimeter lowered suspension on offer for track-day enthusiasts.
Porsche Macan fails moose test, Stuttgart responds
Tue, 14 Oct 2014Different countries have different safety standards, but most of them revolve around a similar set of tests: front impact, side impact, offset impact, rollover... the usual. But Sweden has its own test. It's called the Moose Test (or the Elk Test), and it's unique to Scandinavia: a car has to be able to avoid a theoretical antlered mammal on the road while traveling at 43.5 miles per hour and return to its previous course without flipping over. The Jeep Grand Cherokee ran afoul of the uniquely Nordic maneuver a couple of years ago, but even more surprising is the way the Porsche Macan has reacted.
Under testing by Sweden's Teknikens Värld, Porsche's downsized crossover - specifically the Macan S Diesel, for what it's worth - didn't flip over, but it skidded off course. In real-world conditions, it follows, the vehicle could run off the road or into oncoming traffic. The testers ran the test several times, and even removed excess weight from the vehicle, and each time it reacted the same way.
In response, Porsche has explained that the behavior is the result of its Active Rollover Protection system kicking in. When the system detects that the vehicle could drastically oversteer, flip over or lose its tire, it momentarily applies the brake on the front outside wheel, allowing the vehicle to shed the cornering forces without losing it completely.
