1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet: Incredible 11k Orig Miles, 1 Owner, Euro G50 on 2040-cars
Santa Barbara, California, United States
Offered for sale is an absolutely striking, 11,331 mile, one owner, entirely original, heavily optioned, European version 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet finished in beautiful yet ever-menacing Black over Black leather. Ordered new from Porsche as a Netherlands-spec car (Option Code C20) by a wealthy North Carolina businessman, he picked up the car from the factory while vacationing in Europe, drove it to Holland and had it exported back to the U.S. through Pon’s Automobielhandel B.V. in Amersfoot. Upon receiving the car back in North Carolina, it became one of many in the owner’s significant collection, always garaged and truly treated as a prized weekend driver with very few miles put on it per year. This is documented by the following North Carolina DMV Vehicle Inspection Reports, which are included with the car, along with nearly every annual registration document and the owner’s proof of insurance documents:
Having held onto the car for nearly 28 years, the original owner’s advanced age finally caused him to begin to thin his collection, and we were fortunate enough to have been able to acquire the car directly from him earlier this summer. As one would
expect of such a well cared for, original low mileage example, the car is in
absolutely stunning condition. The original finish is exceptional and virtually
flawless, deep and lustrous and marred only by the odd insignificant rock chip
on the hood and front valence. The body is entirely original and straight, free
of accidents and retaining factory consistent panel fits and gaps throughout.
All of the original glass and rubber is exceptional and the original black
canvas top shows virtually no wear, it’s rear plastic window entirely clear.
The original Fuchs wheels are also in excellent original condition and are
wrapped in Pirelli P6000 tires with plenty of remaining tread. The car’s
undercarriage is completely rust-free, original and untouched and the engine
block itself still retains much of its factory delivered “Cosmoline” coating,
typically burned off on higher mileage cars. The car’s interior is equally as clean,
the Black leather sport seats, original carpets and interior panels showing
only nominal wear. The dash is free of cracks or warping and it houses the
original European Blaupunkt Toronto radio which still functions beautifully
through the car’s original sound system. Both the black canvas boot cover and
full tonneau cover are in excellent original condition and according to the
options sticker on the inside of the hood and in the owner’s manual, the car
left the factory with the following options:
The car is also exceptionally tight and strong mechanically. The bulletproof 3.2L engine fires up without any smoke or hesitation, pulling strongly and smoothly through each of the desirable G50 transmission’s gears. Compression is excellent, as is oil pressure, and it’s easy to understand why this era of 911s is one of the most desirable: it beautifully melds efficiency, reliability and everyday ride quality with a truly visceral, vintage driving feel that is sure to provide anyone behind the wheel a wonderfully grin-inducing experience. As mentioned
above, the car is extremely well documented with North Carolina registration
documents, annual vehicle inspection documents and annual insurance documents.
The car also comes with its original owner’s manual, service manual, service
center booklet, Blaupunkt radio manual and warranty information, the original
booklet and manual cover, ALL of the
original keys, the original touch up paint tube (never used), both the original
full tonneau cover and boot cover (and their pouches), the original space-saver
spare tire (never used), the original air compressor with instructions (never
used), the original Porsche tire pressure gauge and case (never used), the
original plastic tire changing mits (still in their plastic cover), the
original plastic bag that houses the three above items, and even an original
matchbook supplied by the factory (also never used) when the owner picked up
the car. That said, we do want to stress that the car was never smoked in. Whether the seasoned Porsche collector or
just a weekend enthusiast, you’re no doubt aware of the nearly meteoric
appreciation that the desirable models have experienced over the last few
years. 3.2L Carreras are certainly one of those models, and there is likely no
better original example available outside of the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart.
If you’re in the market for a truly investment grade, collector quality 911
Carrera, this incredible example certainly deserves your consideration. Please Note: eBay will not accept the car's European VIN. The correct VIN is WP0ZZZ91ZHS150083 and the car also comes with any entirely clean Carfax report. We also have TWENTY (20) ADDITIONAL PICTURES documenting this car's incredible original condition. Please contact us directly to obtain a link to an online photo album. We want this car to go to great home and
would be happy to answer any questions, so please feel free to email us or call
us at 805-202-4557. You can also visit us online at GoodmanReed. Goodman Reed Motorcars We’ve always had an appreciation for
classic European cars and over the years have created an eclectic personal
collection. We only buy cars that we’d personally be interested in owning and
generally only sell them to make room for other acquisitions. That time has
come for this Porsche (if the price is right, of course – this isn’t a fire
sale). We try to give accurate descriptions of the cars we’re selling, but
we’re enthusiasts, not experts, and we encourage and are happy to help
facilitate personal or professional inspections. But please do so before
bidding, as the alternative harms our ability to make sales to other interested
parties who have done their proper due diligence before bidding. For U.S. buyers
a 10% non-refundable deposit is required within 3 days of the auction’s end,
the balance to be paid within 7 days of the auction’s end. Foreign buyers must
pay in full within 7 business days of the auction’s end. Buyer is responsible
for shipping, however we’d be more that happy to help with recommendations and
arrangements. The car is listed locally and we reserve the right to end the
auction at any time should it sell prior to auction’s end. Thanks for your
interest. |

Listen to the Porsche Macan's exhaust note ahead of its LA debut
Fri, 08 Nov 2013As if we need further proof that the Porsche Macan won't just be another small CUV, it'll be a small Porsche CUV, the German automaker has released a video of the vehicle's raucous exhaust note. In short, the Macan will sport a far racier soundtrack than most of its competitors.
The raspy sound coming from one of the Macan's two turbocharged V6 engines sounds great (the video isn't clear as to whether we're listening to the base 3.0-liter or the Turbo model's 3.6-liter engine), and it's accompanied by a nice crackle on overrun. It isn't like a 911 or other flat-six model, but it is more or less what we expect a Porsche to sound like. We'll have all the details on the newest member of the Porsche lineup when it debuts later this month at the 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show. Scroll down for an official press release from Porsche, as well as the video of the Macan, and be sure to turn your speakers up.
Porsche forum claims eco-friendly 911 Blu coming to Frankfurt
Thu, 01 Aug 2013The fiftieth anniversary of the Porsche 911 has been a nearly year-long affair, with unique tributes and even a special anniversary edition with plenty of retro throwbacks. The party is expected to continue through the end of 2013, and if one 911 enthusiast forum is right, we'll see yet another special edition model near the anniversary of the original car's September 1963 debut, when it arrives at next month's Frankfurt Auto Show.
It's called the 911 Blu, and where the 911 50 Years Edition was more expensive than a 911 Carrera S hardtop, the Blu would be an entry level special edition. That's right, a limited run car that actually slots in at the very bottom of the 911 range. According to Porsche forum 911UK.com, the new car would be priced at 74,600 euros ($98,718 at today's rates) or 64,750 pounds. That undercuts the price of a base 911 in Germany by nearly 16,000 euros and in the UK by nearly 8700 pounds (although to be fair, it's roughly identical to the price of a base 911 C2S in the US).
This 911 will reportedly feature a detuned flat-six with 300 horsepower and 211 pound-feet of torque.
Porsche Fire and Ice is chilling art born of flames
Wed, 01 Jan 2014Porsche held a contest inviting ten filmmakers to riff on the tagline for the Panamera, "Thrilling Contradictions," in a 60-second film. The winner was an entry called Fire and Ice by director Ross Cohen, a concept that uses just those two elements in a premise as simple as it is rewarding. For his efforts, Cohen will receive a trip to the Chicago International Film Festival, and you might see the short in the pre-movie advertisements in a theater served by Spotlight Cinema Networks.
Porsche did this kind of thing just two years ago, when it asked filmmakers to illustrate the idea of "Everyday Magic". The winner of that contest, Michael Korbel's It's a Magical Life, followed the journey of a young man to husband and father from the perspective of the trunk of a 911. You'll find that video as well as Fire and Ice below.
