This 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa is finished in Guards Red over a Black partial leather interior and features a 5-speed G50 manual transaxle paired with its 3.2-liter flat-six engine. Configured for the U.S. market, it was acquired by the original owner at the Porsche factory in Germany through the European Delivery Program and was toured throughout Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, before being imported to the U.S. Having remained with its original owner until the seller’s purchase in 2020, this Carrera Targa is now being offered for auction out of Illinois accompanied by over 100 pages of maintenance records.
Finished in Guards Red, this 911 features a black Targa bar and a removable black vinyl roof panel. Equipment includes a front valence with integrated fog lights, power mirrors, a rear window wiper, black bumperettes, and 16” Fuchs forged alloy wheels with colored Porsche crest center caps. The seller adds that the paint remains in excellent original condition, and the tires show production date codes from 2013. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The Black partial leather interior includes power-adjustable seats, a four-spoke leather steering wheel, power windows, air-conditioning, cruise control, and a Blaupunkt Reno SQR 46 stereo. Records from the original ownership indicate that an erratic speedometer issue necessitated the replacement of the gauge in October 1986, and the odometer is said to read 1,637 miles less than the car’s actual mileage. The seller notes the clock's minute hand is stuck in the 12 o’clock position, and the tachometer was recently repaired.
Rated at 217 HP and 195 lb-ft of torque, the air-cooled 3.2-liter flat-six engine is paired with a 5-speed G50 manual transaxle. A collection of over 100 service documents dating back to the original purchase is included in the sale, and recent maintenance includes an oil change, a new battery, alternator, and axle shaft assemblies.
This sale will include owner’s manuals, a toolkit, a spare tire, a tire inflator, a car cover, front bra covers, spare spark plugs, gaskets, sheepskin seat covers, and a clean title.
The seller would like you to know: “I purchased this car on my retirement with the plan to become active in the Porsche world. Commitment to other activities did not allow me to pursue this. I have enjoyed Porsche ownership over the years, including 1991 and 2001 Turbos and a couple of Boxsters. Asked by someone if there are any leaks in the rain, and I can say that I don't know because it has never been driven in inclement weather. Always garaged and covered.”

The previous owner made a spread sheet (see pictures) that lists interval and service required, and he has recorded dates and mileage that each was performed. I would refer to this and my receipts of work done. Looking at 60,000 mile recommendations on the spreadsheet, which are not recorded, are the oxygen sensor change and front wheel bearings inspection. There is no rust.
Hi, Is there any maintenance thats due? Even preventative? I went through the thorough documentation but never hurts to ask. Any rust to speak of?
The paint is original. Any and everything is documented by the original owner and my own receipts. In Illinois for every car model before 2010 the mileage is exempt on title. Mileage on vehicle is documented by odometer reading plus that disclosed on maintenance record 86-01 noting a speedometer replacement at 1637 miles. Also 30 miles additional documented on maintenance record 19-01 for odometer repair. The only explanation for "Black" could be when I registered title I may have entered "Red/Black" and it was misrepresented. AC last serviced with AC hose replacement and recharge 9/13/92. I have not done any work on or used AC during my ownership of 5 years.
I take it this is original paint, why would the title state black? Does the AC blow cold? Why on earth would someone put exempt milage on the title, that's basically saying non original mileage. I am still very interested.
Thanks.
