These now Classic, Air Cooled, 'End of Era' Carrera Coupes are the cars that fill the daydreams of near every Porsche Enthusiast. For many these are the cars that respectfully carry the heritage of the illustrious Porsche Brand best, with virtually every aspect of the model in one way or the other directly traceable to the first 911, which had been introduced way back to 1963. Notably unlike near every other vehicle manufacturer Porsche was never a company focused on the 'All New' and instead invested the companies engineering talent and financial recourses in 'Careful Constant Improvement'.
This final series of the Traditional Carrera (1987-1989) prior to the introduction of the 911/964 cars carried on board over 20 years of engineering enhancements to the storied 911 breed, and for most they are consider to be one of the finest Porsche cars ever produced.
Now if you have never taken a sip of the Porsche's 'Kool-Aid' we understand that you may still simply not get the sense of lust and desire that these Classic 911s generate in the marketplace. All said folks I am not going to attempt to bring you on board or convert you to the Porsche Faith, but if you are one of the millions upon millions worldwide, a true believer, this is the moment in time to look up, listen intently, and follow your hearts desire!
Good, ownership worthy, examples of these very special End of Era 911s have over the past five years or so have become so few and far between, and the trickle of available cars in the marketplace tend to be scooped up swiftly. Although just under 15,000 3.2L/G50 Carrera Coupes were produced over their three year production period, today it would seem that there is just not enough of them to go around, with global demand remaining high.
Although this brand and in particular this model, is internationally recognized as the Gold Standard of sports car reliability and longevity, many examples from this vintage era have long ago surrendered to time or now in fact dead having been the victim of over enthusiastic drivers, but most we believe actually live on, secreted away in enthusiast's garages and small personal collections.
The tough part for anyone with a desire to own one of these 911 Coupes from the Peak G50 Era is that they now virtually need to be 'Pried From Their Keeper's Cold Dead Hands'... an old Charlton Heston - NRA reference.
Just to be clear here... no one has died to allow us to make this car available, as Kevin M. the respectful caretaker of this piece of Automotive Treasure is very much alive and healthy, and is looking forward to his next Classic Porsche conquest once he finds a fresh owner for this now rare find.

Why buy A Porsche 3.2L/G50 911 Coupe
As you may or may not know we at SportsCarLocate have been chasing Porsche cars for our clients for over a decade now, and subsequently we have successfully located 911s from every era, but for many of our clients and followers the G50/911 Coupe remains at the pinnacle of their 'I've got to own one list'.
These were cars that achieved greatness not just on the tracks around the world, but also in the canyons, the mountain passes or simply anywhere a twisted length of pavement could be found. These were and are sports cars that do just about anything well... yes, a touch of a understatement here, as these cars were, in their day, without a doubt 'World Class' and capable of embarrassing near anything on wheels, no matter what the test, with the right driver at the wheel.
Performance has rarely been a question when you are talking 911's, no matter the era as performance is the bedrock of the Porsche Brand, but these last of the breed Traditional Carreras were in their day, and even more so today, so much more than just simply about performance numbers.
These Carrera cars, for most knowing Porsche focused enthusiast, sit at the high water mark of driver engagement, and are treasured for their uniquely analogue nature, the impossible to deny visceral response they evoke, and their capability to scream out a sonorous aria uniquely their own!
Yes, every iteration of the 911 offers something unique, different and special that sets them apart from the others,. These 911 G50/3.2L cars, I would suggest have proven themselves to be the very best 911 for the largest cross section of enthusiasts focused on Classic Porsche ownership. Hence we don't really see that their position in the market is likely to change moving forward in time.
In fact we would hazard to guess that not only will demand remain strong for this model, but in time grow expediently as availability becomes more and more constrained.
Love what you drive... anyone!

SportsCarSellers - Private Party Sale
This car is on offer from it's private owner Kevin M., an auto enthusiast and now an undeniable Porsche lover. We at SportsCarLocate assisted Kevin in his chase for his 'Right 911' back in 2019... he knew just what he wanted as he had been doing his own groundwork and research having settled in on scoring a G50/911 Coupe.
Now by 2019, not unlike today, the market supply for these very desirable 911s was already very tight and we knew that finding a good one was going to be slow going. A few less than buy worthy cars were still hanging out in the market and available, but nothing that was close to right.
Then this Black Beauty popped up out of nowhere, an honest to goodness quality 'Driver' that had been nicely freshened up and serviced by its Engineer owner who did all his own work at his well equipped home garage. Brian T. was a guy with a good handle on just how to turn a wrench and was not afraid to dive in and get his hands a little dirty. Brian had sourced the car out of a collector's garage in 2018 and had been working on correcting the issues he discovered along the way.
Brian was straight up, fair and pretty direct on sharing what information he had and the images provided documented a G50 Coupe in overall very nice condition, appearing to be mostly original with the exception of the enhancements he had completed prior to his offer to sell the car.
Next step for us was a PPI - and in this case we went direct to the local Porsche Dealer for their professional review. A few issues were identified and after an agreement was struck to have Brian the seller correct what was discovered, Kevin moved forward on the purchase of the car.
This was Kevin's first Classic Air Cooled Porsche and he didn't want to wait for delivery so once the work had been completed, Kevin flew down and drove his 911 home to Oakville Ontario.
Since Kevin's acquisition in 2019 the car has been shown some serious attention by the local well known Air Cooled Specialist Garage - 'Mantis'. Kevin has never shied away from the car's needs and treated it to the resources of his open cheque book.
Trust me, when you see the list of work completed on this car over the past few years, you'll know the serious added value that this 911 offers it's next owner!
This car is currently with it's owner, garaged and cloistered away from the elements, as it clearly has been throughout its decades in the Northeast. Not every Classic 911 got this kind of respect and the difference between a sheltered example and one that was not is very evident.
This car was originally delivered into the U.S.A. where it spent its life in the northeastern U.S. States before coming to Canada in 2019. Clearly the car's condition both when purchased by Kevin in 2019 and as it sits today demonstrates the care and respect that this car has been shown by all those that have owned it since new.
Importantly, the car has a Pristine CarFax with no indication of past damage or accidents!

This Classic 911 is the 'Complete Package', respectfully & professionally touched and tuned to ensure that it is ready to get you out on the road to experience for yourself the glorious attributes that these cars can offer their very lucky owners.
With a fresh top end rebuild, a Custom Chip and Freeing Fabspeed Exhaust the engine not only performs beyond its' original factory specifications, but sounds glorious while doing it... not offensive in nature, just the way the Porsche God of Sound would have intended!
This understandably is not a car that Kevin the current owner actually wishes to sell, but he, like many of us, suffers from a wandering eye and an unquenchable desire to taste as many of the automotive bonbons that he can before time slips away.
While in Kevin's care the car has been serviced at the hands of one of the most reputable local shops... known for decades as the place to service your Porsche, in particular your Air Cooled 911. Mantis (Racing) Autosport in Oakville On, has been Kevin's go to since his purchase of the Porsche and where he invested approximately $30k CAD into the car's maintenance, rebuilds and tasteful modifications.
Cosmetically the car remains stunning, finished in what is believed to be mostly factory original, paint. Yes, we suspect that there have been touch ups and some re-sprays here and there as no 'BLACK' 911 goes without acquiring some road rash over the miles. That said, importantly, we see no evidence of note worthy corrosion or past rust repair. The interior is swathed in what we suspect to be its' factory original Black Leather, which shows far nicer than most, but does have a light touch of the usual wear on the driver's seat bolster.
We recommend that you take the time to look at the various imaging provided by the seller on this very impressive 911 Coupe, both inside and out, as this is not the norm you are likely to find when looking at others from this era. We will also be happy to share additional high resolution images that provide further insight into the car's condition... just ask!

Our Thoughts
Its' A Keeper!
Now with the owner’s fresh pricing… a $10,000 CAD reduction, we are talking an undeniable opportunity!
Is it perfect... at 35 years of age and 92k miles on the odometer, you would be misinformed and disappointed if you were to believe it to be so.
Having got that pie in the sky thought out of your head, I want to take you back to earth and reality. We have been professionally chasing down all manner of 911s - G50/3.2s included, for going on 13 years now for our clients, and I feel very comfortable here in reporting that this 'Very Impressive, Professionally Enhanced Driver' will likely prove itself to be a real find for any knowledgeable Air Cooled Enthusiast.
The Car is Simply Perfect for what Porsche designed the 911 to be... 'The Ultimate Driver'
As priced by the seller, this very tough to find G50 Coupe certainly represents what we see as more than fair value. We welcome your comparisons, in fact we want you to review and compare this against any and all of the other G50/3.2 Carrera Coupes in the marketplace. We are confident that when you look at all of the key factors of Classic 911 Values - year of production, originality, accumulated mileage, past history, current actual condition and recent investments in enhancements, rebuilds and maintenance... we believe that you will then better understand our appraisal.
If you have longed for an Air Cooled Porsche 911 over the years, or if you have more recently acquired a lust for what is undeniable one of Porsche's best efforts, I highly recommend that you reach out to dig deeper to learn more.
My personal view is that this car is actually quite a Buyer's Opportunity offered at $99,500 CAD , a number that is near impossible to match on a quality G50 911 Coupe, near anywhere across the global marketplace. So buyers no matter what side of the border you happen to reside or in fact wherever in the world you may be based you need to sit up and take notice.
I can not recommend enough, that if you do not know the market, that you take the time to carefully compare this against the other G50/3.2L Carrera Coupes in the marketplace, as unlike so many of those cars, this is not a 911 that is suffering from extended neglect, and deferred maintenance.
Trust me when I say that taking many of those cars up to the standard set by this one, will prove to be a surprisingly costly experience.
So no matter where you are in Canada the U.S. or elsewhere on the globe we suggest that you don't hold back,. Give us a call or connect by email to discuss this opportunity further. U.S. and International Buyers take note as given the cars age (30+) it is now an easy export to near any region of the world.
