1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe 2-door 3.2l on 2040-cars
Labelle, Florida, United States
We have had him now going on 10 years. It's a great car for speed, the faster you go the greater the stability. It will hugs the ground in curves and turns like no other. This 911 will not disappoint you, he has a tight finely tuned 5 speed manual transmission and you can go through the gears like butter they are so close. New tires where installed several months ago on him and is a pure joy to drive. If you have a need for speed this is your answer! He has been well taken care of over these years and needs to go to someone that will enjoy this fine tuned machine.
This 1987 Carrera
represented the last version of the 911 to still be based upon the original
design that dated back to the mid 1960’s. Keeping essentially the same shape
for almost 60 years, Porsche has been content to make only incremental,
progressive changes from year to year, and the lightweight construction of the
911, combined with its finely-tuned driving dynamics contributed to a very
quick car that is solid through the corners. The engine in this Porsche 911 Carrera is air cooled, and has an improved electric fan design added to help cool down the oil in the engine when it was built. A new 5 speed transmission was installed when it was made that functioned better than previous 911’s. It was combined with a mechanical clutch to make the vehicle much easier to drive.
The 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera remains a popular vehicle amongst collectors and racers alike. The light weight of the car also makes it quite surefooted in road and track environments. The 1987 Porsche 911’s easily holds a special place in automotive history and is a sports car icon, it is one of the purest sports cars made of the 80’s.
There are no guarantees or warranties with this vehicle, and the vehicle is sold "where is, as is". Serious Bidders only.

J.D. Power: Vehicle dependability at all-time high, Lexus and Porsche lead
Wed, 13 Feb 2013
Each year, J.D. Power and Associates surveys original owners of three-year-old vehicles to find out what kinds of problems they have had experienced over the last 12 months, and then it uses this data to create its annual Vehicle Dependability Study. This means that the models in the 2013 study are 2010 model year vehicles, and J.D. Power rates each make as well as the top individual models based on how many problems were experienced per 100 vehicles (PP100).
Debunking the idea that carryover models are more dependable than new or updated models, the 2013 study found that the average carryover model experienced 133 PP100, while all-new or redesigned vehicles for the 2010 model year had 116 PP100; vehicles that received minor changes fared the best with just 111 PP100. The overall average for all makes was 126 PP100, which is the lowest figure since the findings were first issued in 1989.
Porsche inspecting 2,500 Euro-spec Macans for damaged brake boosters
Thu, 29 May 2014Porsche is investigating a potential brake issue with 2,500 of its new Macan CUVs. The inspection focuses on the state of the brake systems following tests that discovered the brake boosters may have been damaged during assembly.
Porsche has pointed out that, despite the concern, the affected Macans still meet safety regulations. The issue is predominantly found in European-spec Macans, which according to Porsche, have been delivered to consumers. Owners of affected vehicles in Europe will be notified and asked to come in for a brief, no-cost inspection.
American consumers, though, have no reason to worry. We reached out to Porsche Cars North America, who confirmed that the vehicles in question were assembled before US-spec cars were screwed together.
Porsche unlocks secrets of its mid-engine 911
Fri, 23 May 2014Porsche is beginning to realize that it's sitting on a goldmine of automotive history with its secret vault full of rare cars. Autoblog toured it a few months ago, and we were amazed at all of the curiosities hidden inside. Now, it's starting to let more folks in thanks to a new series of YouTube videos. The first covered the 965 prototype that shoved a water-cooled, Audi V8 into one of its cars. Next up, a mid-engine 911 that acted as the powertrain test mule for the Boxster.
The Porsche 911 is inextricably linked to its rear-engine layout. They go together like peanut butter and jelly. However, at the time Porsche was developing the Boxster, the company didn't want to lay all of its cards out of the table during testing. As opposed to using camouflage, it put a whole different car on top. The prototype looked just like any other 911 Targa of the day, but the biggest giveaway that something was amiss was the heavily tinted rear window. By obscuring it, inquisitive journalists couldn't peak at the new engine that replaced the backseat.
It might not look like anything too important on the outside, but this is a major piece of Porsche Boxster history underneath. Scroll down to watch the video about this fascinating prototype.
