GarageScout Take

The mid-year 911 S chassis now carries a 1987 911 Turbo engine and later wide-body treatment, putting factory originality well down the list of defining traits. At 168,000 miles, it sits near the high end for this generation. The long layup is compounded by roof bubbling, rust around the spoiler, widespread clear-coat failure, and modifications whose installation history predates the current owner.

Strengths

  • 3.3-liter turbocharged flat-six sourced from a 1987 911 Turbo.
  • Clean California title in the current owner’s name.
  • Sunroof and dual side mirrors are fitted.

Watch For

  • The car reportedly sat for approximately 20 years before its 2026 acquisition.
  • Repainted from factory Sahara Beige to red, with faded paint and widespread clear-coat failure.
  • Rust is present around the rear spoiler, with bubbling on the roof.
  • The turbocharged engine and wide-body bodywork were installed under prior ownership.
