1984 Porsche 911 Carrera Body Type: Coupe Engine Specification: 6-cyl. 3165cc/200hp Bosch Motronic FI3,103 produced, Curb weight 2,615 lbs This is a 2-owner car. It was purchased by the present owner in 1998 from the private collection of a former NFL football player. It has alwaysbeen garaged and covered, and has never been driven in rain or snow.It looks and runs as if it were factory new. The little service it has everneed has been performed by a local Porsche Racing speciality shop orby the local Porsche dealer. The 3.2-liter 1984 Porsche 911 Carrera debuted hot on the heels of a verysuccessful run of 911SC models, built from 1978 to 1983. TheCarrera—priced at $32,000—shared most of its visual cues with itsimmediate predecessor, but benefitted from added power and performance,as well as other evolutionary updates. The cars came as they had when the SC bowed out—in coupe, openCabriolet, and the in-between Targa body styles. The chief upgrade in theCarrera was the larger 3.2-liter flat six engine, which looked much like that ofthe 3.0 it replaced but was built chiefly of all-new parts. One crucial changewas an improved timing chain tensioner, which had been an issue onprevious models. Also new was Bosch Motronic fuel injection, which replacedthe K-Jetronic system of yore. The engine produced 200 horsepower andcame mated to a Getrag five-speed manual transmission. This was enoughto propel the Carrera from 0 to 60 mph in about 5.5 seconds. Standard goodies included leather upholstery, air conditioning, powerwindows, a sunroof, and 15-inch alloys, while cruise control, 16-inch wheels,and an AM/FM/cassette stereo were popular options. For those who wantedto appear faster than they actually were, a Turbo Look appearance packagewas available on coupes, which provided the large whale tail and wider rearwheelwells, but not the actual turbocharger.
