About this car
This 1986 Porsche 911 Carrera Turbo represents a G-Series 911 that has undergone extensive, documented reengineering while retaining its original crankcase and numbers-matching chassis. Finished in White with a White interior, the coupe shows 42,201 miles and is powered by a stroked 3.45-liter flat-six paired with a rebuilt four-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive.
Factory equipment at build included a limited-slip differential, electric sliding sunroof and alarm system. Subsequent work addressed every major system, incorporating a MoTeC M130 ECU, twin-plug coil-on-plug ignition, Garrett turbocharger with intercooler, Wavetrac limited-slip differential, Sachs clutch, custom exhaust with dual wastegates, and a full suspension package featuring coilovers, monoball bushings, RSR bump-steer kit and welded chassis bracing. A later stroker bottom end with Porsche GT3/RS crankshaft, Pauter rods, LN Engineering cylinders and Extreme Motorsports heads was added, followed by MCS dampers, corner balancing and paint protection film on the front clip.
The result is a matching-numbers-chassis example equipped for both street and touring use, with remaining items such as a minor crankcase weep and a small driver’s seat bolster tear noted for transparency.

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.
