The Carrera 3.2 is admired as the pinnacle development of the original 911 that first appeared in 1963. These final G-Series cars replaced the SC Series cars in 1984. They were the last of the original Porsche 911 design before the 964 bodies launched in 1990. The all-alloy, flat-6 engine gave the 911 231hp, which meant a 0-60 time of 5.5 seconds. All Carrera 3.2s feature galvanized bodies, which ensure that these classics are long lasting. The 911 3.2 Carrera was offered with the “915” type gearbox from 1984-1986 with cable operated clutch. The last few years of the 911 3.2 Carrera’s model, and the most rare due to its being equipped Porsche’s superb, uprated, bulletproof G50 gearbox with hydraulic clutch assembly.

It was then by the dealer principal and unregistered for its first 8,800 miles. In 1988, this 3.2 Carrera was sold to a first “registered” owner as a gift from her husband.
It then remained in this ownership as a snowbird, summering in the Catskills, New York, wintering in Naples, Florida for the next 32 years!
Sold to its next and most recent owner, at the time a resident of Athens, New York, both the owner and 911 relocated to Northport, Long Island, New York in 2021. As a matter of historical significance, the most recent owner of this 911 Carrera remembered seeing this actual 911 (by the way, also remembering its standing in the showroom beside a Red Ferrari Mondial) when offered by Cars of Distinction many years earlier and lusted to own it, but the moon and the stars were not aligned for several reasons. The first, not being able to afford it at the age of fifteen, and more importantly, not having a drivers license to be able to drive the 911 legally at the time, even if he had the money. The boy, now a man kept in contact with the owner and in 2020 was given the opportunity to purchase the 911 from the family who he kept in touch with for all those years. A boyhood dream became reality.
