It is no secret that Porsche’s Cayenne saved the brand from dire financial straits and started them down the road they are on today as one of the world’s most profitable automakers. But if the Cayenne started that trend, the Macan turbocharged it and has been Porsche’s best selling model since its introduction in 2015. A perfect combination of practicality, top-notch quality and driving dynamics far superior to anything else in its class, the Macan is really the ultimate do-everything car for a driving enthusiast. In the United States, the Macan is offered in four trim levels, with the sportiest one being the GTS trim. Although it isn’t the fastest – that title goes to the Macan Turbo with a Performance Package – the GTS is nearly as quick and features a sport tuned suspension and more aggressive exterior styling, making it the most sought after in the world of pre-owned Macans. This 2017 Porsche Macan GTS is finished in beautiful Sapphire Blue Metallic over black extended leather and shows 77,400 miles at the time of cataloging. Under the care of three owners from new, the car was first sold in Southern California, where it stayed until being acquired by the current owner in February 2024. With considerable dealer and marque specialist service history, this Macan has been maintained to a high standard and drives remarkably well. The Macan GTS is distinguished from the other variants thanks to its SportDesign body kit, dark trim around the windows and black LED headlights with Porsche Dynamic Light System that give it a more aggressive look. Many GTSs from this generation were ordered with the RS-Spyder design wheels but this car was specified with upgraded 21-inch 10-spoke Turbo wheels that look stunning and when paired with the beautiful blue color, help the car stand out from other Macans. This Macan is offered with two sets of tires – new winter tires that are currently mounted, as well as a good set of all-seasons ready to be installed, as well as a car cover, WeatherTech floor mats, a new front license plate mount and Dobson Stuttgart service records. For the car lover looking for a new daily driver, this Macan GTS is hard to beat for its combination of performance, looks and value. Key Features

This 1988 Porsche 911 Cabriolet was sold new in New York State, but has lived in the Western Washington area since 1991. Finished in an appealing spec of white over a Burgundy leather interior, the car shows 167,575 miles at the time of cataloging and is an extremely eye-catching example. The white exterior is highlighted by a factory-ordered set of white-center Fuchs forged wheels that give the car an outstanding 1980s aesthetic – especially when paired with the whale tail rear spoiler.

On the interior, Porsche’s classic deep bolstered sport seats have been specified up front, which also feature electric adjustment. This car remains largely stock, but does benefit from the addition of a Porsche Classic stereo head unit which is the gold standard for upgraded Porsche infotainment and gives all the modern features in a classic looking package.

Powering the 1988 Carrera is a 3.2-liter air-cooled flat-6 that produces 217 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent through a sought after G50 5-speed manual gearbox to the rear wheels via a factory specced limited slip differential. The slick shifting gearbox comes with a factory short shifter and offers extremely satisfying throws and makes this 911 a joy to toss around. We have been servicing this car at Dobson Stuttgart since late 2022 and over the last 3,000 miles, we have carried out numerous services to ensure the car is running and driving fantastically.

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.
