1986 was an interesting year for the 911…by 1984, Porsche had just completed a very successful and rejuvenating run with the SC—it saved the 911! But, what to do next was quite the challenge. With too many “G” bodies left, they had to continue production with the famed shape. Enter, the 911 Carrera.

That’s right, it wasn’t until 1984 that the 911 model line would officially be called the “Carrera”. Prior to this, any Carrera badging simply denoted a trim level or package, i.e. the optional “Carrera Pack” on the 1974 911. The Carrera would run from 1984 to 1989—the first half fitted with the tried-and-true 915 gearbox and the second half (’87 - ’89) featured the legendary, 959 developed, G-50 transmission.

Photographed here, our 1986 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa is finished in its original color combination of Black over a Black leather interior has traveled only 32k miles since being delivered new. And, as you may know, it’s surely a rarity to see a low mileage G-Seires 911, let alone a Black on Black Targa.
