Could be a blast for cheap money...

Agreed. Put the stock interior back in the car and have a sorted quick, responsive, sleeper

[Matt Monson]

With Dan selling that car I wouldn't even get a PPI on it. Shame I couldn't get it through smog here.

[Dan J]

Sold in 15 min Shoulda asked more.
It's a real nice car

[Matt Monson]

Seemed $5-6k under market IMO. I almost called to offer gears and LSDs in trade.

Did it have a Carrera 3.0 motor or just a p&c swap?

[Matt Monson]

I think it was swapped. And shortly after my first post I remembered I have an '83 SC engine in storage. I should have jumped on this one.

[Dan J]

Has a 930/12 from a 76 in it I think the days of sub 20k coupes are behind us fellas

[Matt Monson]

Dan if it falls through keep me in mind.

How do you consider an '86 with a smaller motor than stock a sleeper?

Do you really think its all about displacement to be quick ...

[Matt Monson]

A stock 3.0 Carrera engine made 202.7hp. A US 3.2 Carrera engine makes 207hp.

Take the 3.0, add Webers (add says nothing about what exhaust is on it) the car is going to be making 215-220hp. Sure, you can get the same sort of power with a Wong chip and cat bypass. But the bottomline is this engine coupled with the 7:31 ring and pinion in the gearbox will run circles around any stock '86 Carrera.

If I was home (on vacation) I would've definitely gone to see this one…it had value emblazoned all over it...

The size of an engine is not the sole determination of power output. A 3.0L 911 engine with carburetors and flowing exhaust will make more HP. and have much better throttle response and lively and higher RPM.s than a stock 3.2L.

[Dan J]

Happy ending on this. The fella who bought is thrilled to get his first 911
he's been working on cars,bikes etc forever has wanted a 911 since he was 12
He couldn't stop smiling when he picked it up. Perfect guy for the car
already signed up for a DE

[NYNick]

Nice to hear.
Another one hooked for life.

[Matt Monson]

Good to see them go to good homes.

[mreid]

Dan, get him to post on here. We can always use another Porsche maniac.

Hey all I'm now in the club.... I couldn't be happier with the car and with how Dan treated me.
Just for the whole story...just started a new job, drinking my coffee and doing my lunch search of pelican for the perfect car. Show my friend across the cube the ad, and he says" lets take a walk theres another Porsche guy you need to meet"(turns out he was a faithful customer) half an hour later the three of us are on a conference call with Dan...15 minutes later I was on my way to Oxford.

I picked it up last thursday and about 400miles and three tanks of gas later couldn't be happier.
Once it's a little less loud it will be a total sleeper, in a friendly 3rd gear pull with an E46 M3 it has a significant advantage.

It is grandma approved...the person who taught me to drive.
and has found friends in the parking lot.

[techweenie]

Super.

Welcome Kevin.

There's much Porsche lore to get into hereabouts. You will grow to appreciate your car even more over time. I'm betting on it.
