Porsche 911 And Derivatives (A Collector's Guide)

This sequel to the first 911 collector's guide, which covered 1963 to 1980 models, picks up the story at the period when Porsche came under new management and the future of the 911 seemed in doubt. Sales were eventually reversed, however, propelling the 911 and its many derivations into their most exciting production phase. All of the increasingly powerful 2.8-, 3.0-, 3.3-, and 3.6-liter versions of these coveted performance coupes are examined in this illustrated collector's reference, as are specification changes and race and rally successes. A special chapter is devoted to choosing a 911 and the costs of ownership, while comprehensive appendices list serial numbers, engine specs, performance figures, and Porsche club contacts throughout the world. An essential reference for prospective buyers and Porsche fans everywhere.
