KILLER Extras That Came with My Porsche 911 3.2 Carrera

- I was so fortunate to be able to buy an 86 Porsche 911 3.2 Carrera and if the car itself wasn't good enough, I also received some KILLER bonus goodies, extra parts and mods that came along with the car.
In fact, there were so many extra air cooled Porsche parts that I had to fly back to Atlanta (where I had bought the car) and rent a U-Haul to carry all of the stuff back!
So...take a look at this video to see what kinds of mods had been done to my 3.2 before I bought it along with all of the extra parts that came with it. Then, please let me know your thoughts.

I'd like to pretend like I'm some sort of genius negotiator to get all of these extra air cooled Porsche parts thrown into the deal, but I'm not. I was simply fortunate enough to buy my 86 from a seller who was fair and shared the same passion for the car as I do. So, as a result, the previous owner included the following goodies with this air cooled Porsche:
Rennline Roof Rack
Extra Hood with Ciebe Rally Lights
Tag Heuer Rally Clock Set
Original Wheel
Momo Prototipo Wheel
Custom Center Exit Exhaust and Headers
Custom Rear Valence Fitted to the Exhaust
(4) Original 16" Fuch Wheels
Original Cigarette Lighter (Yes, I'm a Porsche dork who gets excited about that!)
Original Headlights (my 86 Carrera came with Euro Headlights on it)
Carrera Script Decal
OEM spare key set with original Valet key pouch
Honestly, as I'm sitting here writing this description I almost can't believe how lucky I was not only to find an air cooled 1986 Porsche 3.2 Carrera that is super clean, well documented and had a COA....I was able to find one that came with a laundry list of really cool parts and mods!

About My Channel:
Rennthusiast (formerly Bavarian Enthusiast TV) is for the most part a Porsche 911 channel centering on experiencing air cooled Porsches, but will also feature other vintage, analog vehicles I add to the collection. The channel is the result of my deep passion for air cooled Porsches, my interest in the air cooled Porsche community, my obsession with modding, improving, buying and selling cars in general and my desire to put myself out there on RUclips and share these passions with other enthusiasts.
As I continue to build this channel, I'll be adding more cars to the mix, and will likely branch out beyond the German sports car genre as is the case with this video. Why? Because I LOVE cool collector cars and as my interests morph and change, so will this channel.
As of the date of this video, the collection includes a 1995 Porsche 911 993 Coupe, a 1986 Porsche 911 3.2 Carrera Coupe, a 2007 Porsche 911 Turbo, a 2000 Toyota Landcruiser and....a 1993 Toyota Landcruiser FZJ80 (no they're not German but they've been bucket list vehicles for me so they're now in the collection).

You TOTALY scored! That exhaust is awesome!
WOW! Great video again - some valuable parts included.
When I bought my 997.2 the owner had the original wheels, side marker lights, exhaust and exhaust tips. These parts will definitely have a better re-sale value. You scored on this car!
Will I would say you made out quite well with the nice owner and all the extras he included in the deal. I too love my air cooled 1985 3.2 that I purschased in July 2018. Never knew how much fun these air cooled cars were to drive and enjoy. I own and 1987 944 and a new 2016 Boxster Spyder which I love al three in their own special way, but my triple black 911 is a real favorite. I enjoy your channel and will pass it on to my porsche buddies up here in New England.
Thanks for taking a minute to share your thoughts. Thanks also for your support.
I’ll keep publishing videos as time allows. I’m currently cooking one up about the 5 things I love the most about this 3.2.
Wow, Will, our experiences are SO similar. Bought my 3.2 from an older German fellow enthusiast who lives now in Florida. Car came with a bunch of extra goodies including bilstein dampers, tweaked suspension, lowered, HRE performance wheels, orig Fuchs, Momo and orig wheel and stock exhaust. Car had an after market exhaust on it. It was super loud, so I put the factory exhaust back on and what a difference! Anyway, amazingly similar experience and very similar cars!! All the best
Thanks for taking a moment to share your experience! I also appreciate your watching and engaging with my channel!
Great Video McFly!
Your car and the triplets that came with it. Damn!
Patrick you came up short on my car bro.
Very nice ...
I get jealous every time you put out a video.. keep me jealous, you are too cool Will happy to see you are having so much fun. Enjoy brother..
Just a note on the carrera sticker.. waay cool. Highly doubt it's original as if it were it would be on the car. Not crazy about stickers, as i dont like much bling, but that sticker would look cool and really brings out the car. I have seen a few of them. It's always replaceable if you don't like it as you can still get them.
Great video, which I appreciate as a German guy and 911 owner very much. The Company that builded and still sells the rims has the name FUCHS. So the correct writing is i.e. one Fuchs rim (and not Fuch‘s) or 4 Fuchs rims. Sorry for beeing so picky, but with all your content in the videos your are so percise and correct that I couldn‘t resist to send this comment. Thank you so much for being so passionate and convinced about Porsche.
Hey, thanks for watching and for sharing the insight. The channel is all about accurate air cooled Porsche knowledge so your comment is spot on. Hopefully it helps someone. It’s helpful to me at least. 🙏🏽
Love your 3.2 good find
Stunning car!
Those extra parts are GOLD!
Thanks!
I'm sure it's been answered due to this being an older video, but you can get aftermarket headers with the heat boxes. I'm sure you can get the heater boxes for those headers.
New subscriber. My opinion is to keep the car as shown with exception of putting original steering wheel back on. Sell the rest of the items except for the roof rack because it makes a great wall ornament. 911 restorers would love to buy your extras. Great looking car. Thanks for the video.
The luggage rack and spare hood look great hanging in your garage . I like your plan to run the factory steering wheel for a while: it’s really kind of special imo to experience the car as it was in 86 before deciding how and where to personalize. I swapped my factory wheel (86 Targa) for the Porsche factory accessory wheel from the period (available from Suncoast I believe) to preserve the original and enjoy something a little sportier.
Thanks for commenting!
I have always loved how simple mods such as steering wheel and shift knob swaps can really change up the driving experience.
I’m gonna look that steering wheel up. Interested in learning more about it. Thanks for mentioning it 👍🏼
That sticker!! Cool
Great vid.! Don't know what you payed, but even if it was too much (?), not to worry, you found a real gem.
I have an '85 Carrera, just like yours (moss green), all original. Mine came w absolutely no parts, so count yourself lucky. Enjoy! Its beautiful!
Now inspired to go for my Sunday morning drive...
See ya zoooooommmmmm....
Enjoy. Moss green is a great color. Congrats!
Great car , red is best in this model. I have a feeling the previous owner is missing this car. 🌶
You need to put the sixes
on the front. It will make the rear look wider.
Thank you for creating great content. I just love your 17 inch Fuchs style wheels. Can you share manufacturer sizes and offset. I assume you’re using them without spacers. They look just perfect in the wheel well.
Mine came on my car. A company called Rose Passion in France was selling them a few months ago but I’m not sure they are still offering them. Mine are 7” wide up front and 9” wide in the rear, I believe. 17” diameter. As far as offset, I’m sorry, I don’t know. Also, no, I am not running spacers.
@@Rennthusiast Thank you for your valuable information.
I love your 17 inch fuchs replica wheels. Can you please shareManufacturer, model, size and offset information.
They do look just right and I assume you are using them without spacers.
Man, I’d love to know more about the AC situation. I live at the Gulf of Mexico in Alabama and it gets hot! I have a 1986 3.2 Carrera as well. I just bought mine a month ago. I own a BMW Z4 also and love it! Great video! Very cool extras
I looked into the paperwork and can't find anything along the lines of model numbers other than "upgraded AC system." There is a reference to a company called Retroaire. Perhaps you can start there? Good luck!
Bavarian Enthusiast TV I’ll try there, thx!
I have a Griffiths AC system in my 1984 911. It’s the best there is. No affiliation other than happy owner!
@@michaeljoel2883 I’m just seeing your reply. Thx for the info. I got my mechanic to go through my stock AC and he filled it up and it’s fine. It’d be great if what you’ve installed was much better because on the Alabama coast it’s too hot for my stock AC. Better than nothing tho.
Scott: I'm not sure if you got your AC sorted out, but I just added 3m crystalline tint to my car and it's made a noticeable difference. That tint doesn't have to be dark to work. I think the rear window on my coupe is the biggest contributor to the greenhouse effect, lol.
Beautiful car mate
Thanks for the compliment and for watching. 👍🏼
When it comes to available mods for the 3.2, which ones do you think are best and why?
I have a 89 3.2 for 8 years - the best was 930 Turbo Tie Rods (OEM) The best upgrade I have done.
A few more that were worth the investment: LED gauge lights for VDO $80 easy to do you yourself - amazing difference for my older eyes. Steve Wong chip - well worth it.
Four thumbs down , who are these people , this was very cool
Cool story
I’ve had an 86 944 a 997.1 and 991.1 all in manual as well as M3 and current 2019 M5 Competition. Would like to have an 82-86 911. Never driven an air cooled 911 (only sat in one and ridden in one). I’m afraid I’m going to be disappointed if I drive one only having owned modern 911’s? Am I being ridiculous?
Wonderful purchase. Back ground music not so wonderful 😂
You’d mentioned giving ideas on video content and I’d like to know about putting spacers on the wheels. I understand you can only add 1/2” but I’d love to see a before and after. Sounds like too much work for a video but thought I’d mention it. I’ve been tweaking my 86’ and now I’m driving it everyday and like that idea.
I’d also love folks thoughts… I have an 86’ that’s close to excellent condition. I saw one recently sell almost identical to mine in every way for 60k. I did not pay that. I have 78k miles on it. I’m assuming the more I drive it the more the value drops. I’m “kinda” ok with that. I’m going to drive it so I might as well be but what do others think.
Just ideas. Thx for your channel. Good stuff
Hey Scott. I think you’re really talking about wheel and tire fitment and how to get the look you want. If you’re on Facebook, go join my group and ask the question there. Rennthusiast Air Cooled Porsche Fans is the name of the group.
As far as spacers, I am not a fan of them. I don’t have extensive experience but what little I have tells me I didn’t like it. I ended up chasing vibrations.
I am running 17” Euromeisters on my 86 and love the stance. I don’t know the offset but I know the wheels are flush with the fender giving the car a purposeful look.
@@Rennthusiast perfect, thx. And, thx for getting back to me so quickly. I’ll join the page and check it out.
Hey, is your car lowered? Considering lowering mine slightly (maybe only 1cm)?
Yes, it’s lowered. Previous owner did it. Bilsteins. Unfortunately, the paperwork doesn’t specify details.
I would strongly recommend it, though. Transforms the ride and the look.
Bavarian Enthusiast TV thanks, so you know how much it it is roughly lowered by?
Mark Lyttleton I am guessing maybe an inch. My buddy has a stock 88 and mine is probably right around 1” lower. Tons of info on Rennlist and Pelican on this topic, though.
I'd recommend finding a set of original 15" wheels. More fun to drive, better ride, and the fat tires look period correct.
Thanks for commenting, and I respect your opinion but I must say the handling and the stance are a big part of the reason I am so into this car. Pls subscribe if you haven’t already. 👍🏼
@@Rennthusiast The car handles better with 15's. It is also much more fun to drive.
"Road holding" is an entirely different matter.
I know most Porsche neophytes find that hard to believe but it is true.
Stance is really a function of suspension settings. You want Euro ride height and 15s to optimize the fun.
I have the original Fuchs the PO included with the car. Perhaps I’ll swap them out and do a comparison video with the 17” wheels to see if I agree with you.
As far as your comment about “Porsche neophytes” goes, I’m not sure if that was in reference to me or newer Porsche owners in general.
If it was pointed in my direction I feel compelled to share that I currently own 2 air cooled Porsche 911 coupes (993 and 3.2) as well as a 997.1 911 Turbo coupe in 6MT...and I drive the hell out of all 3.
I have also owned a 997.2 C4S PDK coupe which I put a lot of seat time in.
So, I have driven different variations of the 911 extensively and spiritedly and am very familiar with suspension set up and wheel/tire combos and their impact on the handling characteristics of these cars.
As a result of this, I do believe I have enough experience to have an informed opinion on this issue.
Again, thanks for watching and as always, I welcome input, thoughts and feedback so thanks again for weighing in.
Can I ask what you paid for the car? Those extras must be worth 000's!
Thanks for watching and taking a moment to comment.
I’ve decided not share major purchase amounts on the channel. I do plan on sharing ranges of selected repair costs or perhaps the cost of parts, but I don’t want the focus of this content to be the money end of things.
I am really mainly focused on the passion for the cars and the experience of owning them.
Thanks again!
all this could have been taken on the initial first drive without the need to rent a truck. Lol. Roff rack on top, hood on it. Wheels fit in the rear and the rest wasnt so bulky.
Haha you’re out of your mind but thanks for watching
Hola? Why not Gutentag? :) Subbed
Haha excellent. Thanks for subscribing and welcome aboard. You’re the second person to suggest “Gutentag” so I guess I’ll need to throw it in sometime 😂
I actually like the original steering wheels better than the racing wheels.
Not sure if you still have the roof rack, but if you want to sell, let me know.
I do still have it and wish to keep it. It’s a rennline product…they may still have them.
Would you be interested in selling the custom exhaust ? I’m interested Let me know thanks .
Thanks but no, not interested in selling. I think I am going to keep it.
Bavarian Enthusiast TV oh ok I see , have you found out anything about who produces them ?
Amazing "killing extra's". Let me know in case you don't need the roof rack anymore.
As you say, you don’t know much about this extra kit. For instance, the steering wheel is not G series but rather 964 kit. Don’t put on the Carrera decals; only a 2.7 RS deserves such.
Sell me that roof rack
Sorry, I can’t do that but whenever you want to visit it just come back and watch the video 😆
