My wife is interested. But only if it’s a manual.

I'd wager a 6 pack that it is a manual, probably the coveted G50 transmission. I don't even think 911's were automatics in the 80's.

It’s the 915. I’ve already asked.

If it's an 87 it will be a G50.
Check the 10th digit of the VIN
Rear Reflector appears to be 86 which would be 915.
87 Rear Reflector is reversed image.

87’s had a change in transmission to the G50. The 83-86 cars are excellent in general but you have a bit of technique to learn to shift well and 1st tends to be an issue. All cars have chain tensioners by now so the engines are basically bullet proof up to 250k miles. Great power to weight ratio.

The 87-89 cars are my favorite (had a few 911’s). They have the G50 tranny, stronger engine and excellent p/w ratio, reasonably comfortable and not too modern. Still air cooled. I had an 87 Targa and loved it. The cabs will handle well enough unless you’re an expert. If you love roadsters this one is a sweet spot!

My mistake - it’s a 1986. I have updated the ad.
It’s a manual. It’s a 915 transmission. It shifts great!

Have the chain tensioners been done?

Do you have the build sheet? If not it’s easy to get and might be helpful.

All 84-up 3.2L have the later chain tensioners.
84-89 3.2L are all the same engines.

86 is a good year, 1st year of the updated A/C System and some don't want the G50 because of the notchy shifting even though it is a stronger trans.

If he doesn't already have the COA from Porsche then no joy as Porsche is no longer offering them.

I don’t have the original build sheet. I do have maintain records that I remember mentioned gear related maintenance. Will confirm and update this weekend.

I think it would also have a hydraulic clutch. I have a 1980 SC Targa. When I was shopping, I really wanted a later model with the G50 and drove a few. I ended up getting my SC from the original owner with all the records, tools, window sticker, etc. from new. Having owned a 915 equipped car, I wouldn't worry about the transmission.

You are correct on the hydraulic clutch.
It is also a bigger 240mm clutch the same size as the Turbo starting in 87 with the G50.
