Finished in Guards Red with an original tan leather interior, this is precisely the classic configuration befitting a G-series 911. The color scheme is timeless and perfectly complements the lines of this model.
The car presents itself in excellent condition. Clean body lines, good panel fit, and no visible rust on the body or undercarriage. The car has been repainted once in the past—which is perfectly normal for a car of this age—and the work was done neatly. The Targa roof is in good condition and fits properly.
The real strength of this example, however, lies in its mechanics.
This is a matching-numbers 3.2-liter air-cooled six-cylinder with 119,600 km. The engine runs exceptionally strong and smooth, exactly as a well-maintained Carrera should. Oil pressure is correct, operating temperature is stable, and the car feels structurally solid on the road.
The factory power output of the 3.2 Carrera is approximately 231 hp at 5,900 rpm and 284 Nm at 4,800 rpm, good for a 0–100 km/h sprint in about 6.1 seconds and a top speed of around 245 km/h. Combined with its relatively low weight, this still delivers a remarkably pure and engaging driving experience.
The most important feature of this 1987 model is the G50 manual transmission. It was introduced in 1987 and is considered the most sought-after transmission for the 3.2 Carrera. Thanks to its stronger construction and hydraulic clutch, the G50 shifts noticeably smoother and more precisely than the earlier 915 gearbox. This example shifts crisply and confidently through all gears, and the clutch is in good condition.
In June 2025, the car underwent a major service, including an overhaul of the braking system. Additionally, there are numerous maintenance invoices dating back to recent years, indicating consistent and thorough maintenance.
The interior is original and has been well-preserved. The tan leather seats are in beautiful condition, and the dashboard is free of cracks—not a given for a 911 of this generation.
This is not a concours car. This is a technically sound, structurally sound, and very presentable driver’s car.
Exactly the type of air-cooled 911 you can buy, drive, and actually use—without fear of putting miles on it.
The late 3.2 Carrera with G50 transmission is considered the final and most refined version of the classic G-series, just before the introduction of the 964. It combines iconic design with improved practicality and durability. Demand for good G50 cars remains strong within Europe, and values have shown a steady upward trend for years.
