Exclusive Motorcars of Montclair, New Jersey, the original licensed RUF specialist in North America. performed approximately $50,000 to bring the car up to RUF specifications. The 3.3-liter engine was bored out to 3.4 receiving an updated twin-plug setup, Carrillo connecting rods, RUF pistons, RUF cams, larger intercooler and turbocharger, custom exhaust manifolds, and tuning.935-style ducts were cut into the rear quarter panels for added brake cooling and lighter, more aggressive RUF wheels.

THE BODY AND TRIM
The exterior of this car is in VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT99.99% RUST-FREE DRY AND CLEAN CONDITION THROUGHOUT! The paint finish sports a very good overall shine withsome fading and curb rash on one or more of the wheels andjust a few very minor rock nicks, scratches and cosmetic blemishes. While not quite "concourse show-quality", this is still one VERY handsome classic 911 with a purposeful presence!
THE INTERIOR
As I hope is articulated in the photos here, the interior of this classic Porsche is in VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT CONDITION overall! All of the gauges and controls work as they should with minor imperfections that include some expected wear on the original leather, most notably the left side bolster of the drivers seat. There is some slight warping of the dash top
THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This 1987 Porsche starts perfectly and runs VERY well and EXTREMELY fast with sublimely beautiful exhaust note and explosive thrust when the boost kicks in. Under deceleration you there is a satisfying flat six burble, the unassisted steering in naturally pure and responsive, the brake is confidently stiff and unassisted, the suspension is tight, firm and rattle-free with a still supple feel. Overall this is a supremely satisfying driving machine that garners attention from fellow motorists whether parked or in motion!
