Top Porsches Are Worth a Lot of money at Up with good in Orlando

Porsches are generally not that rare and are quite practical as everyday “exotics”; when you add that to the variety of choices available even within the steadfast 911 lineup, you end up with a situation similar to what you’ll find at Mecum’s upcoming Orlando auction: lots of interesting Stuttgart favorites, and a few with a twist. The 968 Cabrio? Sure! And if a widebody conversion was done at the same time as the period modification, the 911 flachbau is even greater.


Here the top Porsches are listed below

 

  1. 1988 Porsche 930 Turbo


It is difficult to comprehend exactly how ridiculous the Porsche 930, often known as the first 911 Turbo, was when it was first released. The 930 was a lot of vehicles; it was wild, powerful, high-tech, and notoriously rebellious. However, it was gratifying to those who felt comfortable testing its eyebrow-raising boundaries because it was a lot of cars.

Due to its rear weight bias and binary turbocharged power delivery, owners and drivers would benefit from developing experience and prudence. This 1988 specimen, which dates from the last year the model was produced and has comprehensive records and maintenance, has a four-speed 930 Turbo gearbox (a fifth gear wouldn’t be added until the 1989 model year).


  1. 1989 Porsche 911 Slantnose Cabriolet

 
Of all Porsche 911s, the “Flachbau”—flat nose, or slant nose, front end conversion—is the most divisive and retro. The Porsche 935 racer served as the slantnose’s inspiration, and it first offered an aerodynamic benefit. However, aftermarket and post-sale factory alterations became a great craze among wealthy 911 customers eager to make a bold statement.

The pinnacle of 80s 911 excess is represented by this 911 Cabrio. It sports widebody conversion, chrome wheels, a whale-tail spoiler, and Guards Red paint. This one also claims to have 11,000 original miles, is minty-fresh, and has been owned by racing car and motorcycle racer Jeff Ward in the past.


  1. 1991 Porsche 928 S4
Fans of the Porsche 911 like the karmic tale arc of the Porsche 928, which was designed to replace the legendary rear-engine automobile. Instead, the 928 has been discontinued for a long time, while the 911 is more popular than it has ever been. The Hubris hides a very unique car below, one that, despite its age, appears to retain its ability to surprise and delight with each passing year.

An S4, one of the penultimate 928s, is shown here as an example of a later model. It has a stylish black spoiler on the back, a slightly updated and more contemporary front design, and a V-8 Porsche 928 S4 engine that produces 320 Porsche horsepower. Even though it was getting close to the end of its production cycle, the basic 928 forms continued to appear rather crazy despite their advanced age. Even now, it has a bizarre appearance.


  1. 1965 Porsche 911

 
It should come as no surprise that the early 911 had a lot of fans. A lovely early Porsche 911 design, with a flat-six engine that displaces only 2.0 liters, and a driving experience that is surprisingly lively for its size. When one gets behind the wheel of this rear-engine masterpiece, it doesn’t take long to realize why and how it gave rise to a dynasty.

This particular model looks to have not been altered or repaired in any significant way. It is not exactly evident how much sorting it would need, but what is clear is that it has a bit of a scruffy appearance around the edges. A “driver grade” car like this one, which is still presentable but has a few faults, maybe just the ticket to a first-year 911 that you won’t be frightened to actually drive, with early 911 prices hovering around or above six figures for spotless specimens.


  1. 1992 Porsche 968 Cabriolet


The 968 stands out as being even more obscure among its eccentric early front-engine counterparts. The majority of Porschephiles have an opinion on the 924, 944, and 928—whatever that may be—but it’s simple to overlook the 968, the line’s ultimate iteration, with its enormous 3.0-liter I-4 (yep, a large four-cylinder!) and optional convertible body style.

Of course, this is one of those cabrios that, like the 944 cabrios before them, were delivered as a coupe to the German ASC facilities and de-top-ified. The 968 became a more opulent, three-quarter scale grand tourer that was exposed to the elements after the topectomy. This version, which has around 50,000 miles on it, plays up the idea of the “finer things in life” by having This version, which has around 50,000 miles on it, plays up the idea of the “finer things in life” by having a 968 Cabriolet automatic gearbox and a white over the blue color scheme.
