1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe 2-door 3.2l on 2040-cars
Labelle, Florida, United States
We have had him now going on 10 years. It's a great car for speed, the faster you go the greater the stability. It will hugs the ground in curves and turns like no other. This 911 will not disappoint you, he has a tight finely tuned 5 speed manual transmission and you can go through the gears like butter they are so close. New tires where installed several months ago on him and is a pure joy to drive. If you have a need for speed this is your answer! He has been well taken care of over these years and needs to go to someone that will enjoy this fine tuned machine.
This 1987 Carrera
represented the last version of the 911 to still be based upon the original
design that dated back to the mid 1960’s. Keeping essentially the same shape
for almost 60 years, Porsche has been content to make only incremental,
progressive changes from year to year, and the lightweight construction of the
911, combined with its finely-tuned driving dynamics contributed to a very
quick car that is solid through the corners. The engine in this Porsche 911 Carrera is air cooled, and has an improved electric fan design added to help cool down the oil in the engine when it was built. A new 5 speed transmission was installed when it was made that functioned better than previous 911’s. It was combined with a mechanical clutch to make the vehicle much easier to drive.
The 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera remains a popular vehicle amongst collectors and racers alike. The light weight of the car also makes it quite surefooted in road and track environments. The 1987 Porsche 911’s easily holds a special place in automotive history and is a sports car icon, it is one of the purest sports cars made of the 80’s.
There are no guarantees or warranties with this vehicle, and the vehicle is sold "where is, as is". Serious Bidders only.

KBB 2013 Brand Image Awards has some obvious and oddball winners
Sat, 30 Mar 2013The sixth edition of the Kelley Blue Book Brand Image Awards have crowned a wide range of winners - in a couple of cases the recipient of the laurels might say more about KBB users than they do about the actual winner. Compiled from the responses of more than 12,000 shoppers on KBB.com over the past year, there are 13 categories broken into non-luxury, luxury and truck segments "representing the combined wisdom of the American car-buying public."
The award categories have been revamped this year, with some dropping off, some new ones appearing and at least one other given a new term. What isn't surprising is that Honda won Most Trusted Brand for the second year running, Best Value Brand for the third year in a row and took Best Overall Brand, which wasn't on last year's list of awards.
On our own shores, in the non-luxury categories Chrysler got Most Refined Brand and Buick took Best Value Luxury Brand. Neither one of those marques won anything in last year's Brand Image Awards, while Cadillac, which won Best Interior Design Brand and Best Comfort Brand last year - those awards disappeared this year - went home without a single accolade.
World Car of the Year finalists announced
Fri, 07 Mar 2014To say the 2014 Geneva Motor Show was packed full of news is an understatement as big as the show's home at the Palexpo convention center. Despite everything that we were able to cover during this year's show, there's still more coming out of Switzerland, including the announcement of the finalists for the 2014 World Car of the Year Awards.
We reported on the original list of finalists over three weeks ago, and now, that initial list has been pared down to three finalists for each of the five awards. The finalists were announced at a press conference by frequent Autoblog contributor and co-chair of the awards, Matt Davis (above).
The finalists for the overall title of 2014 World Car of the Year are the Audi A3, the BMW 4 Series and the Mazda3. The World Luxury Car of the Year will be either the Bentley Flying Spur, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class or the Land Rover Range Rover Sport, while the Performance Car of the Year will be awarded to the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, the Ferrari 458 Speciale or the Porsche 911 GT3 (which, um, yeah...).
Porsche busts out new Boxster GTS and Cayman GTS
Wed, 19 Mar 2014Baby 911. The poor man's Porsche. That's what they called the Boxster when it debuted some 20 years ago. They said the same of the first Cayman when it arrived a decade later, but they stopped saying it when the latest iterations hit the scene two years ago. That's because Zuffenhausen's entry-level models have long since stepped out of their big brother's shadow and into their own. And that's all the more true of the new Boxster GTS and Cayman GTS.
Based on the Boxster S and Cayman S, the new GTS models benefit from an enhanced 3.4-liter flat six that produces 330 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque in the roadster or 340 hp and 280 lb-ft in the coupe - representing an increase of 15 hp and 7 lb-ft in either model. Both also come with the Sport Chrono package as standard, along with adjustable suspension and 20-inch alloys, blacked out to match the dynamic headlight surrounds and other muted trim.
Those disappointed by the unavailability of a manual transmission in the fire-prone 911 GT3 will be pleased to note that a six-speed manual comes standard, but those enamored of letting a pair of clutches shift themselves seamlessly will want to spring for the optional seven-speed DCT. So equipped and with launch control engaged, the Boxster GTS will rocket from a standstill to 62 miles per hour in 4.7 seconds, while the incrementally lighter, more powerful Cayman will hit it in 4.6. Either way you're looking at a third of a second quicker than the Boxster/Cayman S. There's also a 20-millimeter lowered suspension on offer for track-day enthusiasts.
