About this car
This 1987 Porsche Carrera Targa G50 presents a matching-numbers example finished in its factory Black exterior paired with a Champagne interior. The removable Targa roof panel allows for open-air motoring, while the G50 5-speed manual transaxle pairs with the 3.2-liter air-cooled flat-six engine to deliver the classic rear-engine driving experience.
Four-wheel disc brakes, a single exhaust outlet, and 16-inch Fuchs-style wheels shod with Pirelli tires complete the mechanical package, along with a spare tire stored in the front trunk. The cabin features a 4-spoke steering wheel, classic VDO instrumentation, an analog clock, glove box, door pockets, power-adjustable seats, power windows, power-adjustable dual-side mirrors, air conditioning, and cruise control, plus a JVC radio for modern convenience.
Bosch headlamps illuminate the road ahead, while the Targa bar and wraparound rear glass window define the silhouette. Rear rubber bumperettes add period-correct detailing. The car comes with manufacturer’s literature, a digital copy of the Certificate of Authenticity and original window sticker, an owner’s manual, and documented service receipts totaling $25,935.60 from 1998 through 2020.

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.
