1987 911 Coupe: White W/ Black Interior
Offering my 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera coupe, originally delivered to Essex Sports Cars Inc. In Maplewood, New Jersey. Motor and sold to the first owner on April 24, 1987. This 911 has original grand prix white (P5P5) paint over a black leather/leatherette (LT) interior. A Porsche inspection was performed in 2018 at Porsche North Houston with no issues. This was a free inspection as it was the grand opening of their 聯vintage聰 service and no certificate was offered. PPI is encouraged to be performed at this location due to its facilities and professionalism. The car is sold as is with a clear Texas title. Body - All body panels are original and retain factory serial number tags. This 911 is garaged when not in use throughout my ownership. Additional factory installed items are as follows; fog lights, and power-adjustable seats. The interior is factory in partial leather and leatherette with an aftermarket Momo Prototipo steering wheel in black. The original steering wheel is included in the sale.
Original carpet looks good and has been covered with aftermarket mats. Accessories and controls include the air conditioning system, automatic heat control, central locking, seat switches, power windows, and sunroof. AC has been replumbed with new barrier hoses, new dryer, condenser and compressor and now runs the new R-134a refrigerant. Clifford alarm system was installed at one point but removed prior to my ownership. No wires remain and the only item that remains is the red dot light to cover the hole in the dash. All four brake calipers refurbished by PMB and installed with new pads, hardware and stainless steel brake lines. Parking brake pads in the rear were also installed at this time as well as extended studs to accommodate 1聰 wheel spacers. Turbo tie rod ends installed along with front wheel bearings during my ownership. Engine oil replaced within the last year with genuine Porsche Classic 10W-60 Synthetic oil. Spark plugs, cap, rotor and filters replaced at this time as well as a valve adjustment. The 6-digit odometer shows 109866 miles as of June 10, 2019. Both the exterior and interior bulbs have been replaced with LEDs. The original Blaupunkt Reno radio has been replaced with a Blaupunkt Rio de Janerio 120BT head unit. This radio offers blue tooth connectivity and hands-free phone operation. I do not have the original radio. Previous maintenance records in my position. A new clutch at 81640 along with pressure plate, throw-out bearing, rear seal. Tool kit, collapsible spare tire, and jack are included in the sale along with a stamped dealer maintenance booklet (stamped up to 32495 after 2 years in operation), original manuals, two standard keys, and one valet key. 54,000. Please contact me with questions or requests for specific photos.
It鈥檚 easy enough to use, but the display is clearly an afterthought compared to the rest of the car. This seems to be fixed for 2020, as the next-generation 911 will feature a larger, high-resolution screen that uses the same multimedia system found in Porsche鈥檚 more recent offerings. My other qualm with the system is that it doesn鈥檛 offer Android Auto connectivity (though it does feature Apple CarPlay). Those two seats in the back are vestigial organs 鈥?not even children will fit back there, and the seats act more like a glorified storage area than a place to put humans. Let鈥檚 dispense with the charade, give it upholstery that鈥檚 more conducive to hauling and just call that space what it is 鈥?a good spot to put a jacket or backpack while you zoom from place to place.

The Eventuri 991 Turbo intake system consists of a number of components engineered to perform a specific purpose and fabricated to the highest of standards. The filter housings comprise of our bespoke generation 2 filters, aluminium inlet cowls, the carbon pods and integrated tubes. The carbon pods shroud the reverse mounted filters and smoothly shape the airflow down to the stock turbo inlet tubes. By separating the inlet path and having a dedicated filter for each turbo, the intake allows the turbos to function more efficiently. Crucially, the Venturi housings organically extend with a smooth curve from the filter opening to the stock turbo tubing. This ensures that the airflow remains as smooth as possible throughout the system. Smooth airflow results in less drag and therefore the turbos can reach peak boost sooner in the RPM range. It also means that the throttle response feels sharper. Our patented filter housings have a smooth reduction in cross sectional area as they shroud the filters and taper down to the tubing.
