About this car
This 1986 Porsche 911 Carrera began life as a G-Series 3.2-liter model before undergoing a comprehensive backdate conversion to 1972 specifications. Finished in Gulf Blue with orange Porsche sill graphics, the coupe pairs classic long-hood proportions with modern mechanical upgrades for an engaging driving experience. The 3.2-liter air-cooled flat-six remains at the heart of the car, now enhanced with a Steve Wong chip, Dansk center-exit sport muffler, and SSI stainless steel heat exchangers.
Power is delivered through a rebuilt 915 five-speed manual gearbox featuring new first- and second-gear synchros, a sport clutch, flywheel, and short shifter. The backdated steel bodywork includes a long-hood front end with an 911 S bumper and new fenders, a fiberglass rear bumper, removed rocker panels, polished trim, horn grilles, door frames, and Hella H4 headlights. Rolling on staggered 16-inch Fuchs wheels finished in RSR style, the car also retains air conditioning from its original specification.
Inside, the custom cabin draws inspiration from classic racing themes with woven leather seats, door cards, and dashboard finished in Gulf Racing colors. Additional details include a three-spoke Momo Prototipo steering wheel, custom gauges with Gulf accents, a low-profile LCD stereo and navigation unit, and dual rally-timer stopwatches.

The Porsche 911 Carrera G-Series, produced between 1974 and 1989, represents a significant evolution of the iconic 911 lineup. Over its 15-year production run, approximately 196,000 units were manufactured across various trims, including the Carrera, making it one of the longest-running generations of the 911. The G-Series introduced key updates like impact bumpers to meet U.S. safety regulations and galvanized steel bodies for improved corrosion resistance, enhancing longevity—a critical factor for collectors.
Engine options varied, with the Carrera models typically featuring air-cooled flat-six engines ranging from 2.7 to 3.2 liters, producing between 175 and 231 horsepower depending on the year and market. Performance highlights include the 1984-1989 Carrera 3.2, which achieved 0-60 mph in around 5.6 seconds. Notable for collectors are rare variants like the 911 Turbo (930) and special editions such as the 1988 Commemorative Edition, built to celebrate 250,000 911s produced. Values have risen steadily, with well-maintained examples often fetching over $50,000, and rare models exceeding $100,000 at auctions. The G-Series’ blend of classic design, durability, and historical importance as a transitional model makes it highly sought after in the exotic car market.
