Classic Porsche: Collectors Edition

Our Pre-2000 Porsche Models

1988 Porsche 911 Targa

As a preeminent purveyor of timeless luxury vehicles, our standards are naturally high, and we're thrilled to reveal our 1988 Porsche 911 Targa sets a high bar on its own. Indeed, this Weissach Certified 911 Targa spent its life in California before making its way to Oregon, which is where we sourced it before including it in our lineup. This 1988 911 Targa joins our Classic 80's Porsche inventory with a spotless accident history and a recent engine rebuild, all while offering plenty of the classic, iconic traits Porsche diehards and collectors have come to know and expect of our luxury vehicles.
 
The 1988 model year marked the 911's 25^th anniversary, and with it came a design that paid homage to the classic 911 silhouette and aesthetic. You'll see proof of that commitment and respect for the 911 tradition in our 1988 Targa model, which boasts a fetching black exterior finish and a G body construction that's grown increasingly rare and valuable over the years. This reconditioned Porsche 911 car's interior is equally attractive, offering refined black leather upholstery, ample room for optimal enjoyment of its engaging performance, and a vintage analog dashboard that will steal the hearts of both collectors and classic Porsche buffs alike.
 
As for its hardware and powertrain, this 1988 Porsche 911 Targa's engine remains proof of the German automaker's singular vision and engineering, even 35 years after the model's inception. A refined 3.2L air-cooled, flat-six engine produces a solid 217 horsepower and works in concert with Porsche's still-beloved G50 five-speed manual transmission, which does its part to regale driving enthusiasts with enhanced flexibility and acceleration.
 
Meticulous attention to detail is paramount in luxury automation, and luckily, our 1988 911 Targa offers plenty of features, tools, and options for enhancement that prove Porsche's commitment to those very details. Indeed, this luxury car comes with a leather Porsche pouch for its owner's manual, a tool kit, and tire jack, while its factory options include cruise control, power-adjustable seats, and a stylish set of 16-inch Fuchs forged alloy wheels. Furthermore, you can enjoy this 911 Targa model with several attractive options that we can add in-house, from a Kenwood stereo system with USB input to grey textured floor mats that will make this reconditioned 1988 Porsche's interior all the more welcoming.

1989 Porsche 911 Speedster

Back in 1989, the demand for Porsche to bring more Speedster models to market was robust, but the iconic German automaker only produced 2,104 of them for that model year. As if this decision didn't limit the '89 Speedster's availability enough, only 830 of its left-hand-drive models made their way stateside, with our own 1989 Speedster first residing in California before making its way to our showroom, where two different owners have previously treated themselves to this model since 2010.
 
With Porsche taking inspiration from its 1985 Speedster concept, this 1989 model was designed with shades of the 356 Speedster, boasting a G-series 911 body with a two-seat configuration, a raked windshield, and a roll-away roof that can be neatly stored beneath a double-bubble rear tonneau cover that can still turn heads to this day. In addition to an aesthetic that transcends time and trends, our beautifully preserved 1989 Porsche 911 Speedster's exterior boasts a racy Guards Red finish, while its interior is lined with rich black leather punctuated with red piping, a combination that will pique the interest of those who are partial to a sportier aesthetic and those who prioritize refinement in equal measure.
 
The '89 911 Speedster's performance leaves nothing to be desired either, thanks in no small part to its 3.2L air-cooled flat-six engine, a refined piece of engineering that produces 231 horsepower. This punchy motor pairs with the lauded G50 five-speed manual transmission, with this duo treating its next owner to unmatched responsiveness and acceleration, while this Porsche car's turbo-look widebody configuration does its part to enhance the '89 Speedster's stability, allowing you to brave curves, corners, and open roads with the confidence only Porsche can inspire.
 
As with every one of our 80's and beyond Porsche vehicles, this 911 Speedster is available with a variety of compelling factory options, most of which can elevate your premium cockpit experience. In addition to a sport steering wheel with an elevated hub, you can enjoy a Blaupunkt Charleston radio, power-adjustable sport seats, and automatic speed control that are all offered among this Porsche Speedster's factory options, allowing you to enjoy a personalized experience while remaining in control of this luxury car's exhilarating ride. Collectors with a penchant for customizing their cars can also treat themselves to our dealer-added options to elevate this 1989 Porsche 911 Speedster with a measured touch of modernity, as our available add-ons include Hertz speakers, Bilstein struts, a Dansk Sport muffler, and a set of stylish Porsche wheel caps punctuated by a coloured crest. And perhaps best of all, this '89 911 Speedster is accident-free, low-mileage, and prepared with care by our team of Porsche specialists, which spells nothing but good things for its performance and value as a highly coveted collector's item.

1990 Porsche 911 Targa Convertible

We enter the 90s with a Porsche that oozes class and elegance over 30 years after it first hit the market: the 1990 Porsche 911 Targa convertible. This attractive and timeless collector's item was first registered in Virginia in 1990 and wound up in California 25 years later before we brought it into the fold at Weissach.
 
Targa variations, especially those dating back to this Porsche's 964 generation, have steadily grown in demand among collectors, as those fortunate enough to own them are reluctant to part with them, and those in the market for a 911 Targa sometimes struggle to find one that's been cared for and stood the test of time. That said, despite how beloved and coveted 911 Targa models may be, their inception was something of a happy accident borne out of anticipated necessity. Fearing a ban on convertibles with fully retractable roofs was looming back in the mid-to-late 60s, Porsche took action and designed the Targa variation with a roll-over roof, and it remains an attractive and popular take on the 911 to this day. In fact, Porsche only produced 1,329 of the 964 generation's Targa 2 models, and our 1990 911 Targa convertible's scarcity, retro aesthetic, luxurious leather interior, and lauded flat-six engine make it a worthy addition to any premium vehicle collection and an equally attractive choice for those who love taking the wheel of a classic that can still outperform more than a few luxury cars.
 
With its coupe-like lines and convertible top, our 1990 911 Targa can earn the fancy of those who enjoy serene weekend cruises, all while treating you to a vintage upscale experience thanks to a cabin that's refined, analog, and simple, yet elegant. In addition to a stylish black exterior, this '90 911 Targa car boasts a classic black-and-tan leather combination on the inside, with a recently installed Porsche Classic Radio adding a touch of modernity that doesn't tarnish this Porsche convertible's vintage cabin experience. Furthermore, this 911 Targa has been regularly tended to, as our service records show regular vehicle maintenance dating back to 1997, and we've added our own enhancements to this Porsche during our thorough and meticulous reconditioning process. Indeed, we've treated our 1990 911 Targa to new front sway bar end links, oil cooler lines, rear brakes, and a wheel alignment to ensure that it continues to perform smoothly for years to come. We've also added USB and auxiliary audio inputs to go with this Targa's Porsche Classic Radio, as well as navigation and new front speakers for optimized convenience and entertainment. You can rest assured this highly coveted Porsche car's materials and aesthetic have been thoroughly preserved as well, as we've treated our 1990 911 Targa to a meticulous and professional detailing that inspires confidence in the driver while preserving a timeless design and enhancing this luxury car's value.
 
As for its performance, this '90 Targa model is powered by a 3.6L flat-six engine that's not only easy on the ears, but also generous in pep, boasting 250 horsepower and 229 lb-ft of torque. Its brawn may trail that of Porsche's more recent innovations, but this Targa car remains a veritable joy to drive, as its lighter weight makes it exceptionally nimble and athletic compared to its era's stablemates, allowing you to brave curves and corners with the utmost agility and stability. A five-speed manual transmission treats drivers to the responsive acceleration that defines Porsche automation and engineering, and with its power steering, retractable rear spoiler, and twin-spark ignition, this 90s-era 911 Targa offers all the dynamism and hardware driving enthusiasts crave in a classic luxury car.
 

1991 Porsche 911 Targa

It may be one of several Targa variations in our 90's Porsche lineup, but this 1991 911 model remains a rare find, as the iconic German automaker produced only 367 of its kind as part of the 911's 964 era, making it a potential gem for any diehard collector's stable. This specific Porsche 911 Targa spent much of its life south of the border in Texas until it was acquired by the collector who eventually helped it become one of the more recent members of our legendary inventory.
 
Our thoroughly serviced, low-mileage '91 911 Targa joins our fleet with a coupe-like silhouette and a Guards Red exterior that's both racy and vibrant without looking gaudy, while its interior is lined with rich black leather and steals the hearts of lifelong Porsche enthusiasts and collectors with a variety of attractive cabin comforts. Indeed, a full-length centre console and height-adjustable leather seats combine for premium and personalized comfort in this 1991 Porsche 911 Targa, so its driver can take the wheel and enjoy this premium car's direct and engaging drive in the luxury that's been synonymous with the Porsche name for eons.
 
While we're on the subject of engaging drives, this 964-era Porsche 911 Targa can oblige its next owner with exactly that, boasting a 3.6L flat-six engine that produces 250 horsepower, a solid 229 lb-ft of torque, and some sweet sounds that you'll enjoy whether you're at the wheel or admiring this luxury car from the outside. In addition to its refined and punchy flat-six engine, this '91 Targa model includes a responsive five-speed manual transmission tailor-made for the driving enthusiasts and thrill-seekers of the world, as well as a variety of innovations Porsche had introduced with its models of the 911's beloved 964 generation. Indeed, these Porsche cars, our '91 Targa model included, were treated to power steering, twin-spark ignition, and a patented large and retractable rear spoiler that extends upwards at 80 km/h and returns to its natural resting position at under 10 km/h. The sum of these components, innovations, and the 1991 Porsche 911 Targa's powertrain produce a nimble, crisp, and agile ride in a package that piques the interest of the consummate collector, the weekend cruiser, and the diehard Porsche enthusiast in equal measure.

1994 Porsche 911 RoW Carrera Coupe

First and foremost, this specific model first saw the light of day on the other side of the Pacific in Japan and separates itself from its era's North American stablemates with distinctive lighting on the front fender, hence its Rest of the World (RoW) designation.

Speaking of its air-cooled engine, this Carrera coupe produces more pep than our above-mentioned Targa variations, boasting a refined, responsive 3.6L motor with over 270 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torque. The air-cooled engine isn't all that evokes a beloved time in Porsche's history, as our '94 911 RoW Carrera coupe also comes with a four-speed Tiptronic transmission, an innovation that debuted not long before this model's inception and quickly earned the glowing approval of Porsche lovers.
