About this car
The 1986 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe represents the final evolution of the G-Series impact-bumper generation. Finished in the rare factory Sonderfarbe Dunkelblau L999, this U.S.-specification example pairs its deep, non-catalog blue paint with a Tan leather interior and has accumulated 61,559 miles.
Power comes from a 3.2-liter air-cooled flat-six equipped with Bosch Motronic fuel injection, delivering approximately 207 horsepower through a 5-speed manual transmission to the rear wheels. The 915 gearbox in this model year offers refined shifting while preserving the direct, mechanical character expected of an air-cooled 911.
The coupe body style provides the rigid platform and classic silhouette that define the G-Series, with its wide rear fenders, upright headlights, and balanced proportions. These late Carrera models combine vintage purity with the durability that makes them among the most usable classic 911s for both touring and collecting.

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.
