Porsche 911 3.2 Liter H6 1986
General description :
BEAUTIFUL GUARDS RED 911 W/ JUST 47K MILES AND 2 OWNERS! WELL DOCUMENTED, WOW!!!
Chances to own what is for many enthusiasts the classic quintessential red sports car, don't come along very often. The Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet. With performance and handling that match its aesthetics, it's the car that automotive dreams are made of. This '86 represents a rare chance to grab that rare specimen of the breed, one that features unusually low miles and loving care that have combined to result in a car that grows all the more alluring the closer you get.
The factory Guard's Red on this cabriolet is in great shape from front to back. It's got a uniformity that follows you from front to back as you check it out. No bubbling, no blotches or unevenness of color or texture and the clearcoat glows from every angle. The black trim and bumper guards are unscuffed and unfaded. Retaining the exterior color it came off the line with, so effectively contrasted by the equally pristine black rims and trim, this Cabriolet hasn't been messed with in the name of "modification" and it's a good thing. The engineers at Porsche definitely knew what they were doing when they brought this model to life – a great blend of form and function - so any serious changes to their vision would be tantamount to drawing a henna tattoo on the Mona Lisa. Whether its black convertible top is up to protect you from the elements or lowered into the protection of the matching black boot, it's just a great looking car.
The original Champagne interior is equally impressive and reflects very careful use. The bucket seats look fresh - the bolstering intact and unusually free from the wrinkling you see so often. The tan carpet from front to back gives the entire interior a nice, understated look, providing just the right amount of contrast and topped with black floor mats. The stick shift bears a wooden knob and matching boot. Peering through the original Porsche steering wheel, you'll see that the factory gauges recessed into the black dash all function just as intended and look back at you from unusually clear lenses. There's nary a crack on the dash as well. Up front in the storage compartment, everything is nice and tidy. The climate-controlled air conditioning and heater system is still getting it done as well as it did when this droptop first saw the road. Even the factory original Blauplunkt AM/FM cassette system still sounds good - as if it's never suffered an abusive bass note in its considerable lifetime.
Porsches have a reputation as a "driver's car" that's both well earned and well documented over the decades and this Carrera is equipped to represent that reputation very ably. The fuel-injected, 3.2 liter horizontal six engine is a great powerplant – all about no muss - no fuss performance. Connected to the G915 5 speed manual transmission, it makes for a combination plenty fun in a variety of conditions – geared low enough for off the line performance, but with a .77 ratio in 5th gear, providing nice low revs on the highway. Of course, part of performance lies in being able to come to a stop ably as well and you're covered there too, with generously sized power disc brakes all the way around. The stock, black 16" Porsche rims are wrapped in a set of Continental Extreme tires with a lot of rubber still on them, just itching to get on the road.
Even the seemingly unattainable can sometimes be attainable. Here's your chance to put a truly classic, red convertible Porsche with low miles (and even a certificate confirming its lineage and authenticity), in your garage. Call today!
