1987 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.6 Modified

By 1987, Porsche’s G-body 911 had matured into a pure, analog sports car—lightweight, mechanical, and deeply engaging. This particular example goes well beyond the factory formula, blending period-correct enhancements, motorsport-inspired styling, and a modern air-cooled powertrain to create one of the most compelling widebody builds on the market.

Finished in white over a custom burgundy interior, this 911 wears steel Turbo flares front and rear, offering the muscular stance of a 930 with clean, OEM-level execution. The body was professionally repainted in white by Villa Auto Works in Santa Fe, New Mexico, with excellent panel fit, rich finish, and restrained presentation throughout.

Up front, a RUF Yellowbird bumper and valance give the car a purposeful, motorsport-inspired look, while RUF big brake components sit behind classic Fuchs-style wheels—delivering the stopping power and control to match the performance upgrades under the skin.

At the heart of the build is a 3.6-liter M64/07 flat-six from a 993, Porsche’s final and most advanced air-cooled engine, featuring OBD1 management for reliability and tunability. Known for its wide powerband, smooth delivery, and bulletproof architecture, the M64/07 gives this G-body a major boost in both performance and drivability. It’s mated to a 5-speed manual transmission, retaining the raw, mechanical connection that defines the air-cooled 911 experience.

• M64/07 3.6L flat-six engine from a 993 (OBD1)

Inside, the cabin is as distinctive as the exterior. Burgundy leather is paired with classic houndstooth cloth inserts, offering a period-correct motorsport aesthetic. Green deviated stitching throughout adds a custom touch that complements the car’s character without overwhelming it. The seating position, steering feel, and layout remain unmistakably vintage Porsche—focused, analog, and authentic.

This is not a stock 911, nor is it a restomod caricature. It’s a thoughtfully upgraded, mechanically sorted widebody that blends factory DNA with driver-focused enhancements—executed with restraint and taste. For the enthusiast who values analog purity, motorsport heritage, and serious air-cooled performance, this 1987 Carrera delivers on every level.
