This Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1986 Porsche 911 Carrera is a backdated example powered by a 3.2L flat-six mated to a 5-speed manual transaxle. Acquired by the owner in 2013, Avant-Garde then performed the transformation including steel long-hood body work up front and RS America door panels and custom GTS Classic R seats inside. The Carrera engine features a Steve Wong chip and SSI heat exchangers, while the 915 gearbox was rebuilt with new synchromesh and the clutch was replaced. Suspension modifications include larger hollow torsion bars, Polybronze bushings, and Bilstein Sport shocks. This RS-inspired 911 shows 136k miles and is now offered on consignment by the selling dealer with a clear Carfax and a clean Oregon title.

A steel hood, 911S bumper, impact strip, and new fenders were sourced, and the rear bumper is made of fiberglass with chrome painted bumperettes. The additions were then finished in correct Schwarz (A1) and the rocker panels were removed. Trim, horn grills, and door frames were sourced from an earlier car and H4 headlights were added to complete the early 911 look. Talbot-style mirrors are fitted to both sides and custom Porsche graphics adorn the doors and rear deck lid.

A polished metal engine grill replaces the plastic one, and an early rear window (without a third brake light) was sourced. A custom license plate frame features LED lights. Window seals were replaced, including rear quarter window gaskets, and polished oil cooler lines can be seen running down the passenger side of the car.
