A Classic Beauty with Modern Upgrades.
Porsche enthusiasts and collectors, prepare to be captivated by a true automotive masterpiece. The 1989 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa G50, powered by a 3.2-liter flat-six engine mated to a G50 five-speed manual transaxle, is a sight to behold. Finished in the elegant Linen Grey Metallic paint, this iconic sports car is adorned with brown leather upholstery, creating a timeless combination of style and performance.
The exterior of the 911 Carrera Targa G50 boasts several notable features, including a black removable targa roof panel, integrated fog lights, a rear window wiper, and heated power-adjustable side mirrors. The close-up photographs of the exterior showcase the meticulous attention to detail and the well-preserved nature of this classic Porsche.
Completing the classic look are the 16" Fuchs alloy wheels, fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ tires. The front wheel bearings were recently replaced, ensuring optimal performance. The braking system, consisting of four-wheel discs, underwent a fluid flush in June 2023. The brake pads were replaced in January 2019, and the rear calipers were replaced in June 2016.
Step inside the cabin, and you'll be greeted by power-adjustable front seats upholstered in luxurious brown leather. The interior is equipped with amenities such as cruise control, a Sony stereo, and power windows, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable driving experience. The air-conditioning system was converted to use R134a refrigerant in June 2023, providing efficient cooling in warmer climates.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation, including a central tachometer with a 6,300-rpm redline, a 170-mph speedometer, a Quarz clock, and gauges for oil level, oil pressure, oil temperature, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer currently shows 88,000 miles. A past invoice from September 1994 indicates repairs due to intermittent speedometer operation, and the total mileage is unknown.
The heart of this 1989 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa G50 lies in its 3.2-liter M930/25 flat-six engine, featuring Bosch Motronic engine management. The engine, factory-rated at 214 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque, received significant attention in June 2023. Work performed included refinishing the fan and shroud, fluid services, and the replacement of engine-lid insulation, spark plugs, ignition wires, valve cover gaskets, lid struts, and intake manifold gaskets. Compression-test readings attest to the engine's excellent health.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a G50 five-speed manual transaxle, providing the driver with an engaging and spirited driving experience. The clutch was replaced in August 2013, ensuring optimal performance and smooth gear changes.
