The air-cooled Porsche 911s have been very hot for quite some time now and the strong market for them shows no signs of letting up. Compact, quick, agile and offering an involving and entertaining driving experience like no other, it's no wonder these 911s are so sought after. Here we have an incredible example of a 1984 911 Carrera coupe. Note that this is a European version that was brought to the U.S. in 1985, having the various upgrades (such as for the emissions system) done to make it fully compliant with the U.S. standards. Those documents are included with the car. The car was enjoyed until the early 1990s. It was then stored for over 20 years before undergoing a comprehensive restoration running from around 2017 through 2020. A binder full of receipts documents the fact that around $35,000 was spent on that no-expense-spared effort. As such, the car presents in simply amazing condition, both cosmetically and mechanically. An original certificate of authenticity is also included. The 911 boasts all-original and rock-solid body panels, while the paint is about 90 percent original. The paint meter photos back up this impression and the stunning Guards Red paint is complemented by the factory front and rear spoilers, rear quarter stone shields and 16-inch Fuchs wheels fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3 tires. Inside, everything from the headliner down to the carpets looks showroom fresh. The seats were reupholstered in the correct style but with soft fabric inserts, which are cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Feature highlights include Coco floor mats, a Momo steering wheel and shift knob, rebuilt/updated (R134A) air conditioning, a power sunroof, power windows, a short shift kit and an Alpine AM/FM/Cassette audio system. The numbers-matching 3.2-liter flat six was factory rated at a stout 207 horsepower -- keep in mind this is when the Corvettes 5.7-liter V8 made only 205 hp " and sends the power to the wheels via a five-speed manual gearbox. With the 911 weighing less than 2,800 pounds, the Porsches performance was thrilling with 0-60 in around 5.3 seconds, a quarter mile in 14.0 seconds and a top speed of 152 mph. Handling and braking are also incredible, with communicative steering, sticky tires and large four-wheel disc brakes. The massive fun factor is one of the main reasons these classic 911s are so popular and increasingly valuable. Given its amazing overall condition and fantastic driving dynamics, this 911 Carrera represents a great opportunity.
