  • Backdated 1986 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe

    • 134,200 mi
    • 5-speed manual
      3031 W. Commodore Way
    $0 P.O.A.
    From the model’s introduction in 1964, all the way through the 964 generation that ended in 1994, changes to the Porsche 911 were more evolutionary rather than revolutionary. Sure the wheelbase grew, the car was fitted with fuel injection and air conditioning over time, but at its core, it kept the spirit of the early cars the whole way through. But that wasn’t the only thing it kept, as dimensions didn’t change much from 1967 through 1994, body panels from earlier cars fit on later chassis and vice-versa. Although in the 1980s and 1990s this was used to transform early cars into more modern looking 911s, this trend has thankfully ended and people are instead, fitting later model air-cooled 911s with a classic body. This gives the benefit of more powerful and reliable engines, improved suspension and brake systems as well as better interior technology, without needing to cut up a long-hood car to fit everything in. This 911 started life as a 1986 G-Body 3.2 Carrera that was sold new in the greater Boston, Massachusetts region. Outfitted from the factory in black with a factory short shifter, power actuated sunroof, and cruise control, the car was only in the Northeast for a few years before coming out to the west coast where it then spent considerable time in Oregon and California. In 2013, the car began its transformation to 1972 backdate specifications, which was carried out by Avant-Garde in Portland, Oregon. The conversion began with the installation of steel long-hood bodywork in the front, including a new hood and 911 S front bumper while the rear end received a fiberglass bumper. While the original 3.2 Carrera had black trim around the windows, headlights and engine grille, that was all switched out for a more period correct polished look and the entire car was repainted in beautiful Schwarz (black). With its removed rocker panels and RSR-Finish staggered 16” Fuchs wheels, this Carrera has a stunning outlaw look. Much of the interior was also upgraded by Achtung Kraft in Same, Wisconsin in the style of a Singer 911 – the modern-style bucket seats are fitted with woven leather centers with a black background and Gulf Racing light blue and orange striping that is also seen on the door cards and dashboard. A 3-spoke Momo Prototipo frames a custom set of gauges that also feature Gulf accents, while a low-key stereo with LCD navigation and dual rally-timer stopwatches are also fit in the dash. This car retains air conditioning. Out back sits the legendary 3.2-liter flat-6, which has been upgraded with a Steve Wong chip. The dual center exit rear exhaust is a Dansk sport muffler, and SSI stainless heat exchangers were also installed. Power is sent through a 915 5-speed gearbox that was rebuilt in 2018 with new first and second gear synchros and a sport clutch and flywheel were also installed. Although the backdated cars may not be the choice of the Porsche purist, for somebody who just loves to drive, they are nearly impossible to beat. When you pair the classic good looks of a vintage 911 with the performance and convenience of a more modern car, you end up with a vehicle that you are excited to drive and puts a smile on your face – and the faces of everyone you see – every time you’re out. This car would be exceptionally costly these days to replicate and buying a complete version that was done to as high of a standard as this is without a doubt the best way to put a backdated 911 in your garage.

    In 1984, the Porsche 911 moved from the beloved “SC” variant to being badged as simply the “Carrera.” Along with a change in name, the 911 received an additional 200cc of displacement, as well as a change from Bosch CIS to a far more advanced Bosch Motronic electronic fuel injection system. These changes made for a boost of nearly 30 horsepower over the previous model, and were known to be rock solid from a reliability standpoint, and smoother running than the older cars as well. In light of this, it should be no surprise that the 3.2 Carreras built from 1984 until 1989 stand as some of the most beloved 911s of all time and collector values have been extremely strong recently as a result.

    This 1986 911 Carrera coupe is a beautiful example of this sought-after model and is finished in a very unique shade of Moss Green Metallic. At the time that these 911s were being produced, more standard colors like black, white and red were really in style, while the numerous greens and blues Porsche offered at the time were rarely selected. With the recent increase in interest surrounding unique colored classic 911s, those few cars painted in more unconventional shades have become quite sought after. CarFax shows that this car spent the early part of its life in Kansas, where it lived until 1996, at which point it was brought to Seattle, where it has stayed since. Current mileage is just over 133,750 which is believed to be original. From the factory, this car was very nicely set up with a thicker diameter sports steering wheel that is paired with a 30mm hub extender – a great option for one of these cars which weren’t built with an adjustable column. Additionally, a short shifter gives a positive shift feel and is a welcome addition to the 915 gearbox in this example. Factory fitted Fuchs are also seen on this car with black faces, as are cruise control and a power sunroof.

    We have been servicing this car at Dobson Stuttgart for the last three years, during which time it has only been driven a few hundred miles. That being said, since 2021, we have replaced front and rear brake hoses and done a fluid flush, replaced the ignition coil, adjusted the wheel bearings, replaced drive and serpentine belts, balanced the tires and performed numerous oil changes. This car has complete service records and is currently in excellent condition and would make a perfect driver for an enthusiast looking to get into a unique and attractive air-cooled 911.

  • 2015 Porsche Macan Turbo

    • 81,000 mi
    • PDK Dual-clutch 7-speed automatic
      3101 W COMMODORE WAY
    SOLD

    With the rapidly expanding niche of mid-size SUVs overtaking sales of pretty much every style of car over the past decade, it was a no-brainer for Porsche to jump on board. With the introduction of the Macan in 2013, the company set the new benchmark for how well this style of car could drive in a way that only Porsche can. Although some people may claim that it’s just a reskinned Audi Q5, in truth, the Macan is revised and improved in pretty much every conceivable way from chassis to suspension to engine options, transfer case and both the interior and exterior design. Built alongside the Panamera in Porsche’s Leipzig, Germany factory, even with its high production numbers, the Macan is still subject to the litany of quality control tests on the production line, that separate Porsche from the lesser brands under the Volkswagen umbrella. The result is a crossover SUV that can really do it all, equally comfortable taking the kids to school as it is on a twisty back road, with luxury car interior quality.

    This 2015 Porsche Macan Turbo is a nice 2-owner example that was sold new in the greater New York area, and has lived in Washington State since 2018. Finished in Agate Gray Metallic over a black leather interior, we have been servicing this car since 2019 and 35,700 miles. Currently, the car shows 81,000 miles and benefits from a recent service at Porsche of Bellevue in April of 2024. From the factory, this Macan was fitted with a host of desirable options including the Premium Pack with 14-way power adjusting seats, dark wood veneer interior, RS-Spyder wheels with a diamond turned finish and Bose high-end surround sound. Although all Macans were technically turbocharged, the variant badged “Turbo” like this is fitted with a twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6 that produces 395 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque which is sent through a 7-speed PDK gearbox to all four wheels. Under current ownership, the car has been maintained to a very high level, with intake manifold gaskets replaced and a cooling system service in September of 2023, front and rear brakes replaced in June of 2023, the driver belts and serpentine tensioners replaced in January of the same year. With the next generation Macan hitting dealer lots as an all electric SUV with prices extending deep into the 6-figures, these first generation cars are looking like an incredible value and still rank as one of the best do-everything cars you can buy.
