White-on-white is an iconic color scheme from the late 80s. Numerous makes and models utilized this color-matched combination to make special edition models stand out, from the Isuzu Impulse to the Pontiac Trans Am. In the case of Porsche, it wasn’t so much a special edition model that made this cosmetic cloning possible but more just a matter of what was selling at the time, which is why it wasn’t uncommon to see a white 911 with color-matched Fuchs wheels rolling out of the showroom. This clean G50 coupe is equipped with the desirable factory sport seats option and offered with no reserve.

The G50 designation refers to this 911 being equipped with the much-improved G50 manual gearbox. The preceding years made do with a transmission not known for its smooth shifting, and if you weren’t particularly smooth with your gear changes, grinding the heck out of the ‘box was a common occurrence. The 911 models that fall later on the production timeline and equipped with the G50 manual are sought after for this reason alone, not to mention being from an era of air-cooled models that have been sought after for some time. The body of this 911 is in excellent condition, and it wears the optional rear spoiler.

The other option of significance are the factory sport seats with electric controls. These seats are among some of the very few options offered in a 911 of this vintage, and they easily add several thousand dollars to the purchase price. The 911 in this instance comes with an oxblood / merlot interior that features extensive color-matching, likely indicating it was a special order car when new. The corresponding leather shift boot and knob are tell-tale signs of this, but a COA would likely confirm or deny whether what we see here represents some additional color coordination that happened before the 911 left the factory.

This 911 is also listed as having “sport shock absorbers” which would typically signify that it was ordered with sport suspension settings, another desirable bit of factory kit. The seller also lists the car as coming with a “shorter gear shift lever,” which I interpret to mean it has an OEM short shift kit as well. Overall, this Grand Prix White 911 appears to be well-appointed and in excellent shape, which is hardly surprising given it is listed as having just 44K miles. The bidding has easily cleared $50,000, and you can find the listing here on eBay.
