This 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe is the subject of a custom RS-inspired restoration including a rebuilt flat-six engine with an upgraded 3.4-liter displacement, 964 cams, SSI heat exchangers, and a B&B stainless-steel muddler. It has been refinished in the classic Porsche color of Bali Blue and features a 5-speed G50 manual transmission, a Wevo shifter, RS-style door panels and carpets, 930 leather Sport Seats, 935-style mirrors, a ducktail spoiler, and polished 16” Fuchs wheels. Purchased by the current owner in 2019, this modified Carrera is now being offered for auction out of Florida.
This 911 was refinished in the historic 1960s Porsche color of Bali Blue (6412) circa 2008. It has been modified with a front chin spoiler, a ’74 fog light-delete front valence, 935-style aero side mirrors, an RS-style ducktail spoiler, RS-style Carrera side stripes, Euro-spec turn signals, Bosch headlights, and polished 16” Fuchs forged alloy wheels with new Toyo Extensa HP 2 tires. The exterior is described to be in good overall condition apart from some minor paint touch-ups and cosmetic imperfections.
The black interior has been modified with RS-style door panels and carpets, early 930 leather Sport Seats, a billet Wevo shifter, a wood-trimmed Nardi steering wheel, an Alpine speaker, Bose speakers, and a rear-mounted subwoofer in a custom enclosure. A Ravelco cutoff security system has also been installed. The seller notes minor blemishes on the headliner, dashboard, and rear parcel shelf.
The air-cooled 3.2-liter flat-six engine was rebuilt and upgraded to a 3.4-liter displacement in 2023 using a Mahle Motorsport 98mm piston kit with 10:1 compression. It also features 964 cams, SSI heat exchangers, and a B&B stainless-steel muffler. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 5-speed G50 manual transaxle.
This sale will include a clean title.

@risip350 No A/C at all. Completely "Air Cooled" ;)
Most of the entire A/C system has been deleted. The fresh air blower does work.
@AdamoPitaliano Thanks! The subwoofer is a custom build—I’ve never seen an off-the-shelf option for it. Honestly, it wasn’t my idea; the entire audio system was already installed when I bought the car. At first, it felt a bit at odds with the lightweight setup, but I ended up loving it. The sound quality is incredible, and the Bluetooth convenience is a big plus. I noticed PcarMarket listed the speakers as Bose, but I believe they’re actually JBL. I’ll double-check and confirm ASAP.

@seller, beautiful car! Question: did you have the subwoofer built, or was it an off-the-shelf unit?

Does it have A/C?
Unfortunately, due to a medical setback last year, I have to part with this incredible 911. I’ve had the privilege of being around Porsches for over 30 years—owning several and driving dozens of classic 911s. I’ve particularly enjoyed owning and driving this one the most. It’s an absolute riot on the road and easily the most fun air-cooled 911 I’ve had. This build takes the driving experience to another level, making it far more engaging than a stock G50 Carrera.
One of the things I love about this build is the approach taken with its modifications—favoring original Porsche classic parts over aftermarket alternatives, and in some cases, even using rare, high-cost original components. The result is a car that stays true to its heritage while delivering a driving experience that’s even more dynamic.
With its 3.4L engine upgrade, 964 cams, performance chip, stainless steel exhaust system, Wevo shifter, and extensive weight reduction, this 911 is quick, responsive, and just a blast to drive. The extra power and lighter weight give it a sharp, connected feel, providing a driving experience that’s both exhilarating and full of character.
A few other things I’ve really enjoyed about this car:
-The sound system is fantastic! While I love the sound of the engine, having the option to play music loud and crisp is a great bonus. The custom subwoofer, built into the rear seat, can be easily removed if you prefer to keep both rear seats open.
-The pull-out plug kill switch is a simple but highly effective security feature that I’m surprised more classic Porsche owners don’t use.
-Additionally, the alarm system has a clever built-in function that prevents the car from starting when activated without setting off the alarm itself. The car also retains its central locking system, allowing you to lock and unlock the doors manually or through the alarm system.
Feel free to reach out with any questions or requests. I’ll also be actively adding additional pictures, videos, and service documents throughout the next few days of the auction.

Great build and very nice looking car! This will be interesting to watch. GLWA!
@TFerrer Ha! Good question. The car pictures were taken 2/9/2025. I just slapt the first tag I had in my garage to get to the shoot location.
How recent are these pictures. Tag registration shows 9/22. Either old pics or this car hasn't been driven...
I still had some documents and pics to upload. I also wanted to write a proper introduction to the car. Well... Expect all of that to follow in the next few days. I apologize if I'm a bit slow to reply at first, but I will reply to all questions as soon as possible.
Any other maintenances, suspension shocks bushing, brakes, interior. I get the rebuild but it still has 197 on chassis.
Nice sar
can you post the engine overhaul/upgrade documentation? Thanks.
I think I see new rear Bilsteind. Any other suspension or brake upgrades? At 200k miles did you do bushings, ball joints, t bars? spring plate etc? When was paint done and what was original color?

I have an '89 with a similar engine spec and the same 3.4l kit and 964 cams. The power increase along with the weight reduction bits and removed parts should make for a very entertaining ride. Good luck with the action and that's a nice build.

Beautiful car.
