Description of 1985 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa

Offered for sale is an absolutely striking, xtremely original, echanically excellent 1985 Porsche 911 Targa with only 42k original miles from new. Finished in iconic and factory original Guards Red paint over black leather, he car is as tight and sound as it is beautiful, rare original example that comes with its books and manuals (including a stamped service booklet), binder full of service records back to the original owner, he original window sticker and clean CARFAX report. Whether you're in the market as a seasoned Porsche collector or just as a weekend enthusiast, his exceptionally original, trong and gorgeous example deserves your serious consideration.

Delivered new by HBL Inc. Tysons Corner (the Porsche dealership in Vienna, irginia) to Mr. Robert Green as a gift for his wife, t was lovingly cared for and used sparingly for the ensuing 12 years, ntil being sold with 18k miles on the odometer to a Mr. Steven Yearout of nearby Great Falls, A. Mr. Yearout would keep the car until 2003, hen he sold it with 29k miles to its third owner, Mr. Michael Arbisi of Gainesville, L, hose tenure with the car lasted until 2005, hen it was sold with 33k miles to it's fourth and most recent owner, r. Harry Rose of Miami, L. He would keep the car for the better part of a decade, sing it as a sparing weekend driver and accruing less than 10k additional miles before we were able to acquire it in a trade on a classic Mercedes earlier this year. Each of the car's four owners always held the car in the highest regard, eeping it meticulously maintained and properly garaged.

The car's gorgeous original Guards Red finish is exemplary, onsistently deep and lustrous and marred only by the most negligible of imperfections (a few rock chips and the like), ommensurate with any well-cared-for 42k mile car. The body is entirely straight with factory consistent panel fits and gaps throughout, howing absolutely no evidence of any accidents. The rubber is in excellent condition, s is the targa top, howing virtually no wear on both the exterior and the headliner. The Fuchs wheels are impeccable and wrapped in brand new Bridgestone Potenza Sport tires. The car's undercarriage is completely rust-free, riginal and untouched, urther testament to the high level of care provided by its fastidious owners.

The car's interior is equally as clean, he original black leather seats showing only nominal wear. The same can said of the carpets and interior panels with door pocket armrests that retain their shape - a common issue on more used examples of this model. The dash is free of cracks and it houses a Blaupunkt Calgary in-dash CD player. Per the original window sticker, he car left the factory with the following options:

Steering Wheel with Raised Hub
16"Forged Alloy Wheels
Automatic Heating Control
Cruise Control
Sport Shock Absorbers
Alarm System

The car's original 3.2L engine fires up without any smoke or hesitation, ulling strongly and smoothly through each of the transmission's gears. Compression is even and strong, s is oil pressure, nd the car's brakes and suspension are excellent. Recent service included a valve job, ew fuel, il and air filters, new distributor cap, ewflexible brake lines and new tie rods, aking the car entirely turn-key mechanically. It's easy to understand why this era of 911s is one of the most desirable: it beautifully melds efficiency, eliability and everyday ride quality with a truly visceral, intage driving feel that is sure to provide anyone behind the wheel a wonderfully grin-inducing experience.

If you're in the market for a 1980s Carrera, here are very few examples that can best this exceptional 911. It checks all the right boxes: extremely original, nly 42k original miles, conic color combination, lean cosmetics and strong, ell-maintained mechanicals. This is arguably one of the best examples of one of Porsche's best creations and with the market reflecting continued and rapid appreciation, e expect interest to be considerable.

We've always had an appreciation for classic European cars and over the years have created an eclectic rotating collection. We only buy cars that we'd personally be interested in owning and generally only sell them to make room for other acquisitions. That time has come for this Porsche (if the price is right, f course - this isn't a fire sale). We try to give accurate descriptions of the cars we're selling, ut we're enthusiasts, ot experts, nd we encourage and are happy to help facilitate personal or professional inspections. But please do so before bidding, s the alternative harms our ability to make sales to other interested parties who have done their proper due diligence before bidding.

For U.S. buyers a 10% non-refundable deposit is required within 3 days of the auction's end, he balance to be paid within 7 days of the auction's end. Foreign buyers must pay in full within 7 business days of the auction's end. Buyer is responsible for shipping, owever we'd be more that happy to help with recommendations and arrangements.
