The Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2, produced from 1984 to 1989, represents a beloved sweet spot in the model's storied lineage. As the penultimate iteration before the significant 964 generation, it refined the classic G-series chassis to near perfection. Its 3.2-liter flat-six engine, a development of the SC's 3.0-liter unit, delivered a robust 207-217 horsepower (depending on market), paired with the renowned G50 transmission from 1987 onwards. This combination offered a sublime blend of analog driving purity and improved reliability, making it a highly desirable classic for enthusiasts seeking the quintessential air-cooled 911 experience. The Targa body style, with its removable roof panel and iconic roll hoop, provided an open-air experience without sacrificing the structural rigidity of the coupe, a perfect compromise for many. This 1987 911 Carrera Targa, with 108,318 miles on its 3.2L flat-six engine, exemplifies the enduring appeal of these resilient machines. As a 1987 model, it benefits from the desirable G50 5-speed manual transmission, known for its smoother shifts and improved durability over earlier 915 gearboxes. The convertible body style, a Targa in this instance, offers the best of both worlds, allowing for an engaging open-top drive while retaining the classic 911 profile. This is an opportunity to acquire a well-preserved example of a truly iconic air-cooled Porsche, ready for its next chapter on the open road.
