1984 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa, 3.2 liter six cylinder engine, 5 speed transmission, Air conditioned, Power windows, CD player. The motor runs great and the transmission shifts smoothly and it drives straight down the road. It appears to have had some damage repaired and a repaint some where in its history. There are a couple of minor dings and few small issues in the paint but it still presents itself well. This is a nice little driver you can take out and enjoy. The Porsche 911 is the flagship of the current line up of Porsche. It is a two-door grand tourer made by Porsche of Stuttgart, Germany. It has a distinctive design, rear-engined and with independent rear suspension, an evolution of the swing axle on the Porsche 356. Since its introduction in 1963, it has undergone continuous development, though the basic concept has remained little changed. The engine was air-cooled until the introduction of the Type 996 in 1998. In 1979 Porsche had made plans to replace the 911 with their new 928. Sales of the 911 remained so strong however, that Porsche revised its strategy and decided to inject new life into the 911 editions. 911 SC sales totaled 58,914 cars. With the 911's future ensured, 1984 saw the launch of a replacement for the successful SC series. It was the model year 1984 911 3.2 Carrera, reviving the Carrera name for the first time since 1977. The 911 3.2 Carrera was the last iteration in the original 911 series, with all subsequent models featuring new body styling with new brake, electronic and suspension technologies. A new higher-displacement motor, a 3.2-liter horizontally opposed flat 6-cylinder, was utilized. The new swept volume of 3164 cc was achieved using the 95 mm (3.7 in) bore (from the previous SC model) combined with the 1978 Turbo 3.3 crankshaft's 74.4 mm (2.9 in) stroke. In addition, higher domed pistons increased the compression ratio from 9.8 to 10.3:1 (although only 9.5:1 for the US market). New intake manifold and exhaust systems were fitted. The 915 transmission was carried over from the SC series for the first three model years. With the new engine, power was increased to 207 bhp (@ 5900 rpm) for North American-delivered cars. This version of the 911 accelerated 0–60 mph in 5.4 seconds and had a top speed of 150 mph as measured by Autocar. Factory times were more modest: 0–60 mph time of 6.3 seconds for the US version. The brake discs were increased in size to aid in more effective heat dissipation and improved oil-fed chain tensioners were fitted to the engine. To improve oil cooling, a finned cooler replaced the serpentine lines in the front passenger fender well. Driving refinement and motor reliability were improved with an upgrade of the fuel and ignition control components to an L-Jetronic with Bosch Motronics 2 DME (Digital Motor Electronics system). An improvement in fuel-efficiency was due to the DME providing a petrol cut-off on the overrun.
