This 1988 Porsche 911 Carrera is our BringATrailer auction pick of the day:
Porsche won't let you take the 911 Dakar home from L.A., but perhaps the next best thing is a new listing over on Bring a Trailer—which, like, is part of Hearst Autos—for a wonderfully modified 911. This 1988 Porsche 911 Carrera has already been sold once on BaT, back in January 2019, but it's unrecognizable now after being repainted and given "safari-style modifications."
The modifications won't make this vehicle quite as capable as the Dakar, but it will do better on rougher roads than a standard 911. Power comes from an overhauled 3.2-liter flat-six engine and is sent to the wheels through a rebuilt G50 five-speed manual transaxle. Restoration work was done throughout the powertrain. Unlike the 1984 Rally winner, though, this one does not have AWD.
