The 911 Turbo left American shores in 1980. From 1981 through the end of 1985, all 911 Turbos that came to the US came via third party importers.

On The Smoking Tire podcast, Matt Farah has repeatedly referred to his new 911 as "Grape Soda Lip Gloss." That may be a little harsh, as we think his Cassis Red Carrera 3.2 looks pretty stellar, if not a bit purple. If sites like Bring a Trailer are any indication, late production G-series cars are on the rise. It sounds like Mr. Farah got a pretty …
