SPOTLIGHT

New for 1984, Porsche’s 911 Carrera 3.2 was the last of the “classic” 911s. With a new body style, new electronics, new suspension, and a new higher-displacement engine, the 3.2 was a worthy replacement of the very successful SC series it replaced.

The only holdback was the 915 transmission that wasn’t replaced until 1987’s upgraded Getrag G50 manual. Because the G50 was considered such an upgrade, these cars typically command higher prices than earlier cars in the neighborhood of $10-20k.

The 1984 911 Carrera 3.2 Coupe pictured above is finished in a lovely shade of Chiffon White over Brown leather and is well-optioned with a limited-slip differential, 16” forged allow wheels, sunroof, and sport shock absorbers. The car is extremely well presented with the only paintwork being noted around the antenna although no paint meter readings are provided.

If you looked at the pictures you’d never guess that this car has 184,000 miles on the odometer. Even the engine bay and undercarriage look like a much less traveled car. The last car with this high mileage was a G50-fitted 1988 example that sold for $70,411 with 151,760 miles on the clock. So with 30,000 more miles and a less desirable transmission, you’d expect this car to sell for a bit of a discount. But not so.

Our Spotlight car sold for $93,500 yesterday on Bring a Trailer 18 months after the seller purchased the car on Bat for $81,000. The seller did put some money into the car as we can see from the MANY receipts in the pictures. But to drive an ‘84 Carrera for over a year and come out on top like this? Well sold.
