The birth of the G Series 911, which was produced from 1974 until 1989, was the next evolution of the 911 and proved to be an incredible foundation. With the G series reintroducing worldwide classics like the Carrera, which shared the legendary Carrera RS engine, or the 930, the first turbocharged 911 streetcar, there was a bit of everything for everyone. Highly capable as a performance car and equally comfortable on long drives, the G series 911 has proved again that evolution is sometimes a good thing. 1984 marked the rebirth of the 3.2 Carrera name, having last been used by Porsche in 1977. Numerous upgrades were applied to the beloved 911 platform that made it even better to drive than before. A larger and more powerful 3.2-liter air cooled engine, larger brakes, and upgraded fuel and injection system components to name a few. Standard options were also upgraded, which included air conditioning, 5-speed manual transmissions, four-wheel independent suspension, fully integrated electronic ignition and fuel injection, and others.

While the starting MSRP of the 911 Carrera began at $31,950, the final total after options was $41,484, or almost 33% of the base MSRP in options. While some owners might not keep some documents over time or maybe misplace a few, the first and only owner of this Carrera was not that. Neal Dawson, a Xerox employee living in the San Francisco Bay Area in Walnut Creek, California, proved to be a detailed and methodical owner. A large collection of original sales documentation accompanies the 911 Carrera, along with service records since new, including fuel receipts. The original sales contract, dated August 19th, 1985, shows that Neal Dawson was a shrewd negotiator, with a discount of $2,737.79 given to him for a total out the door price of his brand new 1985 Porsche 911 Carrera for $42,400.01, and paid for an additional 5-year maintenance contract.
