This 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa was sold new by Holbert’s Motors in Warrington, Pennsylvania, and was reportedly acquired by the seller from racing driver Dick Barbour in 2019. The car is finished in Guards Red over black and is powered by a 3.2-liter flat-six paired with a five-speed G50 manual transaxle. Service in January 2019 included rebuilding the cylinder heads and fuel injectors, resealing the engine, and replacing the clutch assembly. Service since the seller’s acquisition reportedly includes overhauling the fuel system and replacing the body seals, brake pads, axle boots, and tires. This Carrera Targa is offered with a binder of service documents, tire inflation and tool kits, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Illinois title in the seller’s name.
The body was refinished in Guards Red during previous ownership and features integrated fog lights, a whale-tail rear spoiler, and a removable targa roof panel. Service during the seller’s ownership reportedly includes replacing the targa-bar seal, door seals, gas cap, filler flap, and rear bumper guards. Close-up photos of the paint and trim are provided in the gallery.
