The Guards red paint is rich in color with excellent coverage and only minimal slight defects. Paint is original with the exception of minor touch-ups that are well done, atch virtually perfectly, nd are only visible under close, ritical scrutiny. There are no door dings. Both the front and rear bumper areas are in good condition. The Targa top is structurally sound and the padded black covering presents well. All glass is excellent, nd original. The premium alloy wheels are nice with only very slight curb rash on the passenger side pair. The premium Bridgestone tires are very nice with good remaining tread. The all black interior shows beautifully. The leather seats, arpeting, nd door panels are all excellent. The black padded dash has one crack just left of center. The front luggage compartment is neat and the engine compartment is remarkably clean. The underside of the car is not detailed but is "California" clean. The entire car is rust free and shows absolutely no signs of accident damage. The Car Fax supports the cars totally clean history. DRIVABILITY Best summarized as a pleasure to drive! The car is tight and unusually free from rattles and squeaks often found in Targa 911's. Mechanically we can find no issues and the independent German specialist who service and inspected the car agrees. As a well maintained Porsche the Carrera has never been neglected, bused, racked or lacked the ongoing maintenance that it deserved. The car starts immediately and idles smoothly. The 5 speed G50 shifts smoothly and all of the synchros are excellent. The engine is very strong, ree from leaks, moke, r signs of problems. The brakes were done recently and stop the car straight and sure. The emergency brake is fully functional and properly adjusted. Clutch engagement is excellent with no signs of slippage, hatter or issues. The lighting system is fully functional and the upgraded sound system is an improvement over the period dealer added unit. No holes have been cut in any interior panels for additional speakers. The mid-late 90's Carrera's have become popular for a reason. They are wonderful cars to drive with excellent performance, recise steering and great handling. This example is not just another pretty face but a well-cared for, ow mileage, ust free California Carrera.

This 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa is a fine example of the Carrera 3.2 model era produced from 1984 to 1989.
