THE PORSCHE 911 CARRERA 3.2
First seen in 1984, the Carrera 3.2 was the final iteration of the classic, torsion-bar suspended 911, replaced in the waning days of the 1980s by the radically changed 964. Capable of sub-six-second 0-60 mph times and greater than 150 flat-out, the Carrera 3.2 makes great use of its sonorous and responsive 217 hp boxer six, particularly in combo with the sought-after G50 5-speed gearbox fitted from 1987-on.
True to Porsche's hard-earned reputation for greatness, the Carrera 3.2 delivers raw performance and driving pleasure without sacrificing comfort or usability. Overbuilt, superbly well engineered, and supported by an extensive, global network of dedicated and welcoming Porsche enthusiasts, a Carrera 3.2 represents the ideal point of entry for classic air-cooled 911 ownership.
THE MOTORCAR OFFERED
From the penultimate model year of the original, albeit much evolved 911, this 1988 Carrera 3.2 benefits from the famously overbuilt G50 transaxle as well as a wonderfully nostalgic, prototypically 1980s Guards Red over Black leather with Red piping colors.
Delivered new to Woodside Porsche on December 12, 1987, this 911 Cab has remained in the New York City area its entire life with only a few owners. The original Service Book documents the car's early history such as its delivery and services including the first dealer service at Woodside Porsche a little over a month after delivery with 1,171 miles and second service 10 months later at Silver Star Motors with 5,130 miles. Invoices on file document when the original Blaupunkt Reno radio was replaced with the current Alpine unit early in the car's ownership.
Driven an enthusiastic 13,124 miles by October of 1991, it would take seven more years for that mileage to double, and the subsequent quarter century hasn't been enough time for it to double again. Still showing under 47,000 original miles, a figure confirmed by its clean CARFAX report, the car has recently received a service in preparation for the auction. Complete with its original set of keys in the leather purse, owner's handbooks and service books with stamps, tire inflation kit, complete tool roll, boot, clean CARFAX, and various invoices, this icon of the '80s is ready for its next lucky owner.
