Pop culture enthusiasts and fans of retro fashion have long treasured the quintessential aesthetics of the 1980s. It’s hard to think of a period in recent history with more memorable trends or a more definable style. Just consider the art of Patrick Nagel, the films of John Hughes, and the hair of Flock of Seagulls. Well, the cars of the era were equally iconic. And, in the words of Petrolicious contributor Andrew Golseth, “the Porsche 911 Turbo is also universally regarded as one of the period’s best” and “the Porsche 911 Turbo ‘Slantnose’ definitely is.”
The Atlanta-based classic automobile brokerage, Motorcar Studio is thrilling 80s aficionados and car collectors alike with their offer of this 1985 Porsche 911 (930) RUF Slantnose Turbo. Owned by the same local PCA member for more than two decades, this vehicle registers only 72,000 original miles, has a clean CarFax record with no accident history, and has been exceptionally maintained.
