About this car
This 1987 Porsche 911 Turbo coupe is finished in Guards Red over a tan leather interior. The G-Series body rides on gold 16-inch BBS alloy wheels and features the signature tea tray rear spoiler along with front and rear spoilers. A sunroof, headlight washers, fog lights, and a rear wiper complete the exterior equipment, while window tint has been added for additional comfort.
Inside, the cabin is trimmed in tan leather with a black dashboard and sport seats. A four-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel sits ahead of VDO instrumentation that includes an analog clock. Power windows, air conditioning, and a Blaupunkt cassette radio provide the period-correct amenities expected in this classic 911.
Power comes from a turbocharged 3.3-liter flat-six paired with a four-speed manual transaxle that sends drive to the rear wheels. Four-wheel cross-drilled and ventilated disc brakes handle stopping duties, aided by standard front and rear sway bars. The car shows 50,580 miles on the odometer.

Guards Red
Guards Red is one of Porsche's most recognizable colors: a rich, solid red with a minimal hint of orange and a special luminosity that makes a bold statement on any 911. Originally known as India Red, it has been offered as a standard 911 color since the 1970s. Earlier cars, including mid-1980s 911s, carried it under code 027, and it later appeared under codes 80K and 84A on models including the 964, 993 and 996 into the early 2000s.

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.
