Adventure-Ready 1986 Porsche 911 Safari Hits the Auction Block

 

A rare 1986 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe, restored in Safari style by Porsche Beaverton, is now available for bidding on Bring A Trailer. This unique build was part of the 2023 Porsche Classic Restoration Challenge, showcasing a perfect mix of classic Porsche design and rugged off-road upgrades.

The car’s 3.2L flat-six engine and five-speed manual transmission have been completely rebuilt, featuring enhancements like new connecting rod bolts and a fresh clutch. The addition of a Dansk sport muffler gives the car a deeper, more thrilling exhaust sound.

On the outside, the 911 shines in a sleek black repaint with adventure-focused upgrades. It features a custom front bumper, a protective skid plate, rally-style lights from TRE Motorsports, and a wood-slat roof basket for a vintage vibe. The iconic whale-tail spoiler adds to its bold look, while a suspension lift, adjustable spring plates, and all-terrain BFGoodrich tires on 16-inch Fuchs wheels make it trail-ready.

Inside, the cabin blends functionality with style. Black leather and houndstooth cloth adorn the seats, dashboard, and door panels, creating a refined yet sporty feel. Modern touches include a Porsche Classic infotainment system with navigation, air conditioning, and a Porsche-branded MOMO steering wheel. Red-dial tachometers and auxiliary gauges add a race-inspired finish.

With two days left in the auction, the current highest bid is $133,000 USD. This is a rare chance to own a classic Porsche 911 built for both the road and the wilderness.
