Texas Classic Cars Of Dallas is proud to showcase this extremely well kept 1985 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa.This Porsche 911 Carrera is an absolutely striking, extremely original, mechanically great 1985 Porsche 911 Targa with only 77k original miles from new. Finished in iconic and factory original Silver Metallic paint over black leather, the car is as tight and sound as it is beautiful, a rare original example that comes its books and manuals. This 1985 Porsche 911 CARRERA 2dr features a 3.2L FLAT 6 CYLINDER 6cyl Gasoline engine. It is equipped with a 5 Speed Manual transmissio, Whether you’re in the market as a Porsche collector or just as a weekend enthusiast, this exceptionally original, strong and gorgeous example deserves your serious consideration.
The body is entirely straight with factory consistent panel fits and gaps throughout, showing absolutely no evidence of any accidents. The rubber is in excellent condition, as is the targa top, showing virtually no wear on both the exterior and the headliner. The Fuchs wheels are impeccable and wrapped in BF Goodrich tires with plenty of remaining tread. The car’s undercarriage is completely rust-free, original and untouched, further testament to the high level of care provided by its fastidious owners.The car’s interior is equally as clean, the 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 Sony HD AM/FM in-dash CD player.
The car’s bulletproof original 3.2L engine fires up without any smoke or hesitation, pulling strongly and smoothly through each of the transmission’s gears.Compression is even and strong, as is oil pressure, and the car’s brakes and suspension are excellent. It’s easy to understand why this era of 911s is one of the most desirable: it beautifully melds efficiency, reliability and everyday ride quality with a truly visceral, vintage 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, there are very few examples that can best this exceptional 911. It checks all the right boxes: extremely original, only 42k original miles, iconic color combination, clean cosmetics and strong, well-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, we expect interest to be considerable.

Besides the fun of driving and the classic look, its also a great investment. A thorough TLD detail has just been performed to make sure that this car meets our strict standards, so if youre looking for supercar performance in a legendary package, there is no substitute! Stop in and see how nice this Carrera really is.
With the 911's future ensured, 1984 saw the launch of a replacement for the successful SC series. It was the model year 1984 911 3.2 Carrera, reviving the Carrera name for the first time since 1977. The 911 3.2 Carrera was the last iteration in the original 911 series, with all subsequent models featuring new body styling with new brake, electronic and suspension technologies. A new higher-displacement motor, a 3.2-litre horizontally opposed flat 6-cylinder, was utilized. At the time Porsche claimed it was 80% new.The new swept volume of 3164 cc was achieved using the 95 mm (3.7 in) bore (from the previous SC model) combined with the 1978 Turbo 3.3 crankshaft's 74.4 mm (2.9 in) stroke. In addition, higher domed pistons increased the compression ratio from 9.8 to 10.3:1 (9.5:1 for the US market).
New inlet manifold and exhaust systems were fitted. The 915 transmission was carried over from the SC series for the first three model years. In 1987, the Carrera got a new five-speed gearbox sourced from Getrag, model number G50 with proven BorgWarner synchronizers. This slightly heavier version also featured a hydraulically operated clutch. With the new engine, power was increased to 207 bhp (154 kW; 210 PS) (@ 5900 rpm) for North American-delivered cars and to 231 bhp (172 kW; 234 PS) (@ 5900 rpm) for most other markets. This version of the 911 accelerated 0–60 mph (100 km/h) in 5.4 seconds and had a top speed of 150 mph (242 km/h) as measured by Autocar. Factory times were more modest: 0–60 mph time of 6.3 seconds for the US version and 6.1 seconds for cars outside the American market. The brake discs were increased in size to aid in more effective heat dissipation and improved oil-fed chain tensioners were fitted to the engine. To improve oil cooling, a finned cooler replaced the serpentine lines in the front passenger fender well.
This was further improved in 1987, with the addition of a thermostatically controlled fan. Driving refinement and motor reliability were improved with an upgrade of the fuel and ignition control components to an L-Jetronic with Bosch Motronics 2 DME (Digital Motor Electronics system). An improvement in fuel-efficiency was due to the DME providing a petrol cut-off on the overrun. Changes in the fuel map and chip programming from October 1986 further improved the power to 217 bhp (162 kW; 220 PS) (@ 5900 rpm) for North American delivered cars as well as for other markets mandating low emissions, like Germany. Three basic models were available – coupé, targa and cabriolet. The Carrera is almost indistinguishable from the SC with the external clue being the front fog lights that were integrated into the front valance. Only cosmetic changes were made during the production of the Carrera, with a redesigned dash featuring larger air conditioning vents appearing in 1986.
