The early 80s were supposed to be the end of the line for the 911, but their popularity remained as strong as ever and the Carrera 3.2 is the car that ushered in its continuation. It’s not hard to see why. They were quick, nimble, reliable and efficient, yet with the G50 transmission feel entirely modern. Nothing that Porsche—or anyone else at the time—could come close to it. The car presented here is a perfect example of those attributes. These were and still are cars made to be driven—some daily. And while the mileage isn’t exceptionally low, the car has been reconditioned to a factory standard. It looks, feels, drives, and even smells like new. It has all the right stuff: Fresh service Complete set of books in original pouch Complete and unmolested original tool roll Original factory air compressor Original unmolested tire bag and gloves New sport exhaust (original included in sale) OVERALL CONDITION The admiration and ensuing pampering that the car received is evident on first sight. It’s had a bare-metal repaint to a very high standard - looks and feels factory even up close. The Diamond Blue is an exact match to its unique and original Diamond Blue (L697) color. As a lifelong California and Oregon Carrera, there is absolutely no rust and no pitting anywhere. Rubber trim is like new as is the glass. Doors close with a solid think and gaps are perfect all around. Inside, it’s fresh with no wear, no cracks and no dinginess or yellowing that is typical of lighter gray interiors after several years. Targa top is near perfect with a tight seal and no scuffs, nicks, or discoloring. Flawless Fuchs wheels are shod with near-new Toyos to complete its showroom-like presentation. And while the car’s aesthetic appeal is unmistakable, its real beauty is in its drivetrain. DRIVING IMPRESSIONS I’ve said it before. 911s are made to be driven. By today’s standards, 207 horsepower is ho-hum, but put it over the rear wheels of a 2,200 lb. car with a low center of gravity and a set of fat tires and just try not to smile. Like any 911, this one is loads of fun to drive. Put your foot in it and its sports seats will hug you. Show it a twisty road and it will dance with you. If you’re feeling a little racy, that’s fine too. The Carrera 3.2 is considered by many to be the ideal combination of sports and Grand Touring (where later 911s became a little too heavy and cushy for their tastes). Here again, this car demonstrates that well. There is without question something exceptional, almost magical, in the smooth, seductive power band coming from the 3.2 liter motor, as well as the crisp, quick shifts through all gears in the superb G50 gearbox. Add to that the splendid symphony that comes through its new sport exhaust, combined with the wind-in-your-hair exhilaration that comes with the Targa top out, and you have a sensory experience that transcends any point-A-to-point-B travel into driving bliss. The car is located in Sarasota Florida. I’m happy to answer any questions, entertain offers, or arrange a showing to serious buyers.
