I want to personally thank you for referencing 6 inches as “huge”.

take it out for a track day, blow up the engine, and ls swap it

who else clicked on this thinking it was a doug video?

You don’t remember the screwdriver stabbing so maybe you don’t remember that you really are a serial killer. Just something to ponder.

Congratulations Hoovies, you've successfully fooled me for a second and mistook this as a video from Doug lol

When I heard $38k, I thought, "Wow. Not bad." I'm a crazy person.

WTF I THOUGHT THIS VIDEO WAS BY DOUG DEMURO

To me, these are the 911's that made the most impact on me as a kid. Whenever I piture a 911 in my mind, this is the body type that I picture.

Who else thought this was a Doug DeMuro video?

What's the Doug Score?

Me: Mom, can we watch Doug DeMuro?

Over the years, I owned six 911s. So while serving in Afghanistan in late 2010, I purchased my 3.2 over the phone right before the air-cooled market went up in price. Without seeing it in person, I paid $15k cash (no loan) for my 100% all original black/black 1987 3.2 coupe w/50k on it.

Here's Why Everyone Overpays for an Air-Cooled Porsche 911: The market sets the value.

I love these cars but prices are just insane.

I remember when my dad first brought his black '78 911 SC home back in 1988. I was 5 years old and it was the most gorgeous thing I've ever laid my eyes on. We treated it like a family car; my two brothers and I all piled in the back and we took road trips in it (yes, there was seating for 5; my little brother had to sit in the middle on what I liked to call the "hump"). He eventually sold it to buy our house. Never knew what he got out of it, but man, those cars are special and I miss it to this day.

“This car isn’t that fast” I’ve had mine at 140mph... that’s fast to me

This is a great video and took me back to a time in '88 when I bought an '87 wide-bodied Carrera 3.2 full convertible, complete with whale-tail, in guards red, black leather with red piping. What a car !!!!!! With the top down and 4500rpms the sound was just beautiful.

38k? Wow you got a great deal. I see them in the 70K range and they run up crazy from there.

With that transmission, they tend to need shift linkage adjustment. Very simple for someone with the right alignment tool. Then you'll be able to shift it like it came from the factory.

I at first never really understood buying an old car that doesn't go near as fast as new cars until I rode in one of these. My uncle has a 1989 911 Carrera with the duck-tail spoiler and the front splitter (much like this one) and I just loved the experience, so easy to heel-toe downshift and the lightness and smallness is really fun on sharp corners, I really look forward to owning one someday.
