He would keep the car for the better part of a decade, sing it as a sparing weekend driver and accruing less than 10k additional miles before we were able to acquire it in a trade on a classic Mercedes earlier this year. Each of the car’s four owners always held the car in the highest regard, eeping it meticulously maintained and properly garaged.

The car’s gorgeous original Guards Red finish is exemplary, onsistently deep and lustrous and marred only by the most negligible of imperfections (a few rock chips and the like), ommensurate with any well-cared-for 42k mile car. The body is entirely straight with factory consistent panel fits and gaps throughout, howing absolutely no evidence of any accidents. The rubber is in excellent condition, s is the targa top, howing virtually no wear on both the exterior and the headliner. The Fuchs wheels are impeccable and wrapped in brand new Bridgestone Potenza Sport tires. The car’s undercarriage is completely rust-free, riginal and untouched, urther testament to the high level of care provided by its fastidious owners.

The car’s interior is equally as clean, he original black leather seats showing only nominal wear. The same can said of the carpets and interior panels with door pocket armrests that retain their shape – a common issue on more used examples of this model. The dash is free of cracks and it houses a Blaupunkt Calgary in-dash CD player. Per the original window sticker, he car left the factory with the following options:

• Steering Wheel with Raised Hub
• 16” Forged Alloy Wheels
• Automatic Heating Control
• Cruise Control
• Sport Shock Absorbers

The car’s original 3.2L engine fires up without any smoke or hesitation, ulling strongly and smoothly through each of the transmission’s gears. Compression is even and strong, s is oil pressure, nd the car’s brakes and suspension are excellent. Recent service included a valve job, ew fuel, il and air filters, new distributor cap, ewflexible brake lines and new tie rods, aking the car entirely turn-key mechanically. It’s easy to understand why this era of 911s is one of the most desirable: it beautifully melds efficiency, eliability and everyday ride quality with a truly visceral, intage driving feel that is sure to provide anyone behind the wheel a wonderfully grin-inducing experience.

We’ve always had an appreciation for classic European cars and over the years have created an eclectic rotating collection. We only buy cars that we’d personally be interested in owning and generally only sell them to make room for other acquisitions.

We try to give accurate descriptions of the cars we’re selling, ut we’re enthusiasts, ot experts, nd we encourage and are happy to help facilitate personal or professional inspections. But please do so before bidding, s the alternative harms our ability to make sales to other interested parties who have done their proper due diligence before bidding.
