Finished in Black over Linen leather upholstery, this 1988 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe was originally delivered to Brandfon Motors of New Haven, Connecticut, featuring an electric sunroof, automatic climate control, 16” Fuchs forged alloy wheels, and a 5-speed G50 manual gearbox. It was purchased by the current owner in 2014 with less than 5k miles added since. This Carrera Coupe is now being offered for auction on behalf of its owner out of Pennsylvania with approximately 36k miles showing on the odometer.
This Carrera Coupe is finished in Black and has been fitted with a Turbo-style front air dam and a Whale Tail rear spoiler. Equipment includes integrated fog lights, an electric sunroof, heated and power-adjustable mirrors, and 16” Fuchs forged alloy wheels with black-painted centers and anodized silver outer lips. The car rides on Bridgestone Potenza tires from 203 and the seller notes several paint touch-ups on the driver’s door, a small ding on the driver’s side rocker panel, a crack in the rear window trim, and some stone chips on the front end. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The cabin features Linen leather seats with matching carpets, floor mats, and door panels, a contrasting black headliner and dashboard, and a black leather four-spoke steering wheel. Accessories include power windows, a central locking system, air conditioning, a heater, cruise control, analog VDO gauges, a quartz clock, a locking glovebox, a sound system, and a Blaupunkt Manhattan CD146 radio. The power seat height adjustment is not working, the driver’s door pocket has a small tear, and a corner of the headliner on the sunroof panel is loose.
Rated at 217 HP and 195 lb.-ft of torque, the air-cooled 3.2-liter flat-six engine drives the rear wheels through a 5-speed G50 manual gearbox. Standard features include four-wheel independent suspension, vented disc brakes, and rack & pinion steering. A maintenance log provided by the seller shows an A/C system recharge and oil service were completed in August 2024.
This sale will include the original window sticker, a toolkit, an air pump, a spare tire, and a clean title.

@Sdickey- Yes they are 2013 and in serviceable condition...Just Safety Inspected.
No issues of any kind, With only 36k miles it doesn't need a comp/leak test, The car runs out like new and everything operated as it should. Bid with confidence. This car needs nothing but a new caretaker.

Thanks for the great write up and all the pics, service history, paint readings, and pointing out the minor cosmetic issues, etc. Were there any compression tests conducted? Any other mechanical issues worth noting? Obviously the car hasn't been driven much (only 2,800 miles in the last decade) so curious if there are any other noteworthy issues? Thanks.
Type in the description: "Bridgestone Potenza tires from 203" - from the pictures looks like the tires are 2013? is that correct?
