Model history

With the 911 Carrera 3.2, Porsche launched the final stage of development of the classic 911 series in 1984. The vehicles for the US market differed from the European versions in a few technical details – in particular due to stricter emissions regulations, which resulted in lower engine power. The 3.2-litre boxer engine in the US model offered here delivers 160 kW (218 hp), while European variants could achieve up to 231 hp.
However, the classic silhouette remained unchanged – available as a coupé, convertible or Targa. Porsche produced a total of over 76,000 Carrera 3.2 models before the model was discontinued in 1989, making it one of the most popular models in the air-cooled 911 series to this day.

    Hallo - bevor ich mein gebot noch erhöhe würde ich gerne wissen, ob es sich bei dem Wagen um ein G-50-Getriebe handelt (bei Bj. 88 ist davon auszugehen) und ob der Wagen einen Kat und aktuellen TÜV hat? wie lange ist der Wagen bereits abgemeldet ...zudem: funktioniert die Klima-Anlage ? DANKE !

      Ja, das Fahrzeug verfügt über das begehrte G50-Getriebe. Ab Modelljahr 1987 wurde dieses serienmäßig im Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 verbaut – so auch bei diesem Fahrzeug mit dem Modelljahr 1988. Die Fahrgestellnummer (FIN) WP0EB0912JS161487 bestätigt dies ebenfalls: Der Buchstabe „J“ steht für das Modelljahr 1988. Der Code „EB“ weist auf ein Cabriolet hin – dieser Aufbaucode wird teilweise auch für Targa-Modelle genutzt, da es sich bei beiden um offene Karosserievarianten handelt. TÜV, wie im Text beschrieben „neu bei Verkauf“. KAT: Sowohl die FIN als auch das Baujahr und die Herkunft aus den USA sprechen eindeutig dafür, dass der Wagen serienmäßig mit einem Kat ausgestattet ist. Alle US-Modelle ab etwa 1986/87 waren serienmäßig mit Katalysator ausgestattet. Wir haben keine Information vorliegen, dass die Klima nicht funktioniert. Insgesamt ein wirklich tolles Fahrzeug! Falls Sie noch weitere Details oder Dokumente wünschen, melden Sie sich gerne jederzeit.

      Wurde die Betätigungsmechanik an der Kupplung schon ersetzt?

          Bei dem Bj. 1988 sollte es sich un ein G-50 Getriebe handeln - welches hydraulisch betätigt wird - nicht mehr die Verschleiß-anfällige Mechanik des alten 915 er Getriebes aufweist
