1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa
1987 VINTAGE, PRISTINE, CARMEN RED/BLACK LEATHER BEAUTY!! Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own this Porsche aficionado’s dream car. It’s not often that a one-owner, super-low mileage 911 Targa goes up for sale to the public in such amazing shape. This car was very much loved and babied by the owner and it shows on both the inside and out and would complement any collection.Power output was increased in 1987, up to 217 hp, with an added bump in torque as well, from 185 to 195 ft-lb. The clutch was upgraded from mechanical to hydraulic operation, and the older Getrag five-speed was superseded by the much better Getrag G50 unit with improved synchromesh. The chief improvement in the Carrera was the larger 3.2-liter flat six engine, and one crucial upgrade was the improved timing chain tensioner, which had been an issue on earlier models. Also new was Bosch Motronic fuel injection, which helped to propel the Carrera from 0 to 60 in about 5.4 seconds. The 911 3.2 Carrera was the last iteration in the original 911 air-cooled series, with all subsequent models featuring new body styling with new brake, electronic, and suspension technologies.This particular 911 is a documented one-owner, 18,200 original mileage, North Carolina/Arizona car that has been stored or garaged for its entire life and was meticulously maintained by the owner. Included is the original owner’s manual and all service records. Inside, you will find that the black interior compliments the exterior paint very well…this is a rare and highly sought-after color combination. The optional Sport Seats (left and right w/elect adj) are wrapped in Porsche embossed black leather and show no notable imperfections or signs of wear. The Targa top, door panels, and carpet all look fantastic as well. Additional options include limited-slip differential, cruise control, sport shocks, and upgraded Blaupunkt stereo. The car sits on 15” forged alloy wheels with a polished lip wrapped in 195/65R15 Pirellis in the front and 215/60R15 Pirellis in the rear.Fewer than 15,000 911 3.2 Carrera-series Targas were produced between 1984 and 1987, and this near-mint example comes equipped with all of the above plus cold AC, raised-hub power steerin, 5-speed manual transmission, 4-wheel disc powered brakes, and powered bucket sport seats. Don’t miss out on this rare opportunity to own a classic!

The transmission is a factory 5 speed manual and shifts flawlessly. Suspension is all stock and rides very smooth and responsive . . .just like it did in 1987. The brakes are firm with great pedal feel. No pulling, vibration or issue . . .just fast, confident typical 911 rip-your-sunglasses-off-your-face stops. The wheels are Fuchs Factory Alloys wrapped with matching Pirelli tires on all four corners. All tires have 90% tread.
THE BEST BIDDING STRATEGY
Last minute bidding, while exciting, can cost YOU the car that you wanted. This is why EBAY does not recommend it as a bidding strategy. They instead suggest that Members rely on the EBAY'S Proxy Bid System They paid alot to develop it - USE IT!To use EBAY'S Proxy bid system simply do your research, bid the absolute maximum that you are willing to pay for the item the first time you bid and let the proxy server do the rest of the work for YOU. The computer will do all your bidding for you, but it won't just hop right on to the max amount. IT will only outbid the previous bidder by one bid increment {so if you enter $4000 and the item is at $2000 and the previous bidder has a max bid of say $2500 the item will only go up to $2550 and if you are bid against the computer bids on your behalf up to the amount you entered as your max bid also if you happen to want to bid again you can do so say $4500 but bid amount will not increase just the computer will bid higher for you.}
