Off-roading fans that can’t get enough of rally-modded Porsche 911s, will be delighted to learn that a red 1985 Porsche 911 Safari Carrera has landed on Bring a Trailer‘s auction page.

Modified by Vali Motorsports, the 1985 Porsche 911 Carrera was first lifted and given all-terrain tires, a skid plate, a roll cage, and equipped with a limited-slip differential. Giving the 911 its safari design cues is its rugged front bumper, hood light pod, mud flaps, and spare 16″ Braid wheel carrier.

Powered by a newly-sealed 3.2-liter flat-six, the dash is currently showing 127,000 miles. Those interested in this Safari-Style Carrera can head over to the auction page where the current highest bid is $61,000 USD with seven days left.
