Porsche built its sports cars for driving enjoyment, and going by the mileage shown, this 1985 Porsche 911 Carrera ga seems to have fulfilled that mission. The 30-year-old 911 has had no reported engine work, and the seller emphasizes its health by including results of a leak-down test that he says confirmed all cylinder were less than 5%. “The engine is remarkably healthy for a Carrera with 168,000 miles. A top-end rebuild with new piston rings and valve guides is far off in this car’s future if routine maintenance is kept up to date,” he projects.
When it upgraded the 911 SC 3.0-liter to the significantly revised 3.2-liter engine for 1984, Porsche adopted the Carrera name that had previously only been used on special high-performance versions of its cars. The Carrera 3.2 was a pivotal model, as it boosted performance just as the 911 was surging in popularity versus the front-engine 928 that was once seen as its replacement. rsepower and torque were up over the previous 911 SC 3.0-liter model, yet fuel consumption decreased. The seller’s car is one of about 1, Porsche 911 Carrera ga has its original engine.
The seller states that this vehicle will be sold on a clean Tennessee title in his name. This 1985 Porsche 911 Carrera ga seems to provide good evidence that with proper care, these robust cars can rack up the miles and keep going strong. This car appears to have been well cared for by enthusiast owners.
