The 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera is the one that started it all — I’ve owned this one for a decade, kept not as a collectible but as something to be driven, maintained, and understood. An air-cooled 3.2 wearing Guards Red, it arrived as a complete car and has stayed that way, requiring only the quiet attentiveness that these machines reward: new wheels, a leather shift knob, fresh gauge bulbs, a DME relay, a turn signal switch, and a G50 bushing kit — the kind of parts list that reads less like a restoration and more like a conversation with a car that knows what it is. Nearly all sourced directly from Porsche or established specialists, nothing chased, nothing overbuilt. After thirty-eight years, the 3.2 Carrera remains the purest expression of what the 911 was before it became what it is now — and this one has simply been allowed to remain itself.
Some special additions are sport seats lined in Alcantara with subtle red contrast stitching, a freshly leathered steering wheel to match and 17” Fuchs style wheels. I still have the original seats and Fuchs wheels. I’ve also added a wireless Apple CarPlay headunit.
