The 911 Carrera 3.2, produced from 1984 to 1989, represents the penultimate evolution of the original air-cooled 911 design, before the significant changes brought by the 964 generation. It retained the iconic silhouette and engaging analog driving experience that cemented the 911's legend, but introduced a more robust 3.2-liter flat-six engine, developing 217 hp for North American models. This era is particularly cherished for its blend of classic aesthetics and improved reliability, with the G50 Getrag manual transmission arriving in 1987, offering a smoother shift feel than its predecessor. Among these, the "M491" option, known as the "Factory Turbo Look," stood out as a highly desirable package, transforming the Carrera's appearance with the wide fenders, whale tail spoiler, and upgraded suspension and brakes from the contemporary 930 Turbo, but without the turbocharged engine. This particular 1988 Porsche 911 Carrera is one such coveted M491 Factory Turbo Look example, showcasing the muscular stance and aggressive lines that define the package. With 103,950 miles on its 3.2L H6 engine, this coupe offers a chance to experience the revered G-body generation with its distinctive widebody appeal. The manual transmission ensures an unadulterated connection to the road, delivering the tactile and engaging driving experience that enthusiasts crave. This is a prime opportunity to acquire a well-preserved example of a truly special air-cooled 911.
