Introduction..... 1986 Carrera
 

Finally found a 911 to get me back in the game..... a 1986 Guards Red Carrera.

Purchased off the Board (thanks Pelican) and brought home (thanks Monde/Doc)yesterday, a four owner 911 with 78,000 miles. Previously owned by enthusiasts in need of very minor repairs and some updates. Equipped with spoilers, sport seats and S/R delete it reminds me of a Carrera Clubsport.

Bought strictly for driving with my East Coast and on occasion West Coast mates.....

sweet looking!
enjoy!

Nice! Congratulations.

About time....congrats, and welcome back.

Yes.... could not wrap my head around the longhood values.... had me stymied.....

Hopefully will be at either Rennsport or California Targa and catch up with the West Coasters....

Nice welcome back!

Car looks fantastic.

Beautiful car - welcome (back)

Hi Macroni..nothing like a red 911 enjoy and congrats...

Nice car. Love the color.

Awesome car! Maybe you can drive with Gulf Coast peeps some day :D

Congrats, Luke...nice car!
Enjoy it and looking forward to seeing it in person

Noiceeeee. Theres a new C&C going down in Newtown Square these every Saturday, bring it out to play...

Welcome back...(not like you ever really left).
Your patience has been rewarded..
From what I saw a set of 8’s in the rear and you are good to go!
Nice car that looks like it was well maintained,mildly upgraded and fairly priced by a fellow enthusiast.
Always cool to see a good car sold by a good guy go to a good owner...

Lets round up the b”O”ys and start looking for some cliffs...:cool:

Looks like quite a few Philly/NJ/NY/DE boys abound..... need to have a Frenchtown Gathering.....

I'd be interested

Very nice car - love the sunroof delete cars. Have fun.

or at first: some way cheaper 20-22mm spacers ;)

Do you also think a bit lower.... currently euro ride height


Cleaned the wheels with a bit of polish.....

rims look like new!!

you could.
BUT: lowering below euro ride hight brings "problems"
- it could be that you'll have to roll the fender lip up front
- it will need a tasky reset of the torsion bars at rear (up front maybe also)
- it will need a full re-alignment
- if you'r going for 7s front/8s rear one day this again will need camber adjustment

I'd say: enjoy the ride hight as is now/first and maybe you'll have to adress more vital issues prior to going for looks... jus saying.
