1984 Porsche 911

Description

There are cars that are at the right time to collect; there are ones you'll love to drive; and this 1984 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa is both. After all, 1984 is the first year that the now-legendary 3.2 Carrera replaced the less reliable SC. Add that to that milestone the exceptional condition of this open roof example, and this makes the perfect recipe for a classic that others will desire, too.

The upgrades to this 911 are as easy to recognize as its black and white appearance. There's the great widebody kit, and accompanying it is the bold turbo-style whale tail that also aids in cooling. Up front there are the European style headlights that fit flush with car. Not only do these look great combined with the Carrera 3.2's better integrated fog lights, but also they make this 911 look more contemporary. Speaking of contemporary, the professionally applied white paint means this one carries the timeless lines of the 911 with a nice modern luster. 911s are not known for chrome, so the costly addition of bright versions of Porsche's iconic Fuchs wheels is a nice custom touch that doesn't look out of place.

The tan interior looks original, and its well preserved condition shows just how little things change at Porsche over the decades. You sit down in the German engineered bucket seats, and grab the 911's classic three-spoke steering wheel. Porsche's race-ready sensibilities means the tachometer is directly in front of the driver. The rest of the instruments surround this in their own clearly marked pods to give you a comprehensive view of what's going on with the engine. While this 911 is obviously a driver's car, it doesn't skip on comfortable features. This includes power window, upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo, and provisions for air conditioning. But let's face it, the interior piece that you'll always love the best is the Targa top that allows you to remove the entire roof in a matter of moments.

Lift the rear hatch, and see the best part of any 911. We believe this is the original flat-six motor, and it has recently been professionally detailed (you can really tell from the undercarriage photos, too.) Most experts agree that you won't find a more reliable high-performance powerplant than the fuel-injected 3.2 liter Carrera motor in these cars. In 1984, Porsche introduced a self-tensioning timing chain that eliminated many of the issues that had plagued the 911, almost since birth, and it has raised the collectability factor on these cars well above the earlier SC model. More importantly, as long as you continue this car's tradition of regular maintenance, it has a history of durability to remain a fun sports car well into its cherished classic years. A large reason for the fun on the road is the five-speed manual transmission. It allows you to get the most out of the motor as you pilot this lightweight, open top Porsche, on your favorite backroad. Combine this with Porsche's legendary steering feedback, four-wheel disc brakes, and grippy Yokohama Avid Envigor sports tires, and this classic 911 will teach you why it's an icon with every mile.
