Yes indeed! Here's a link to my photobucket album of the car. I have chassis and underside shots too.

My apologies, I'm not entirely sure! Since I'm a WA resident and the car is registered in WA, I'm unfamiliar with the CA smog requirements. Are there any specific numbers they're looking for to pass? Perhaps that's something I could find for you on old emissions testing results. Here in WA, the car is considered a Collector Vehicle (25+ yrs old) and is no longer required to take emissions tests.

California is 1975 and older. If the seller can produce a current smog test result you can compare the values to what is required to pass on the California test but...that is still not a guarantee.

Thanks for the responses everyone!
Docron, if you can let me know exactly what CA is looking for, I might be able to come up with something. The car hasn't taken any emissions test in a few years, but I have access to a tailpipe gas analyzer so I may be able to find out what you need to know.

Really nice car!
just an FYI, in CA given the age of the car (not old enough to be exempt) "officially" you'll need to not only pass the sniff test but also pass the visual which will compare all the OEM smog equipment list to what is on the car. If that's missing you'll fail visual, no matter if it passes the dyno test.
Unfortunately CA is a PITA with this whole process.
here's the guide to the process:

Ok, I sold my SC randomly today on christmas to a friend. I've been eyein' this car since september.
Can I get some pics of the car with the other wheels? Maybe some track pics? You can tell alot of about a cars setup with simple track pics.
There are few things I don't like about the car at all, that would stop me from paying what you need for it but aren't deal breakers.
Can I get a number PM'd to me. I'd like to speak about the vehicle and see if we can come to a deal.
Cheers,
Bisan

'87 911's didn't come from the factory with a 3.6L, so unless you have all the emissions equipment from the year of the engine (installed by Porsche or CARB exemption), the car would fail the visual test in CA.
If your 3.2 was just punched out to 3.6, then you would be OK as long as the factory emissions equipment is installed and working properly.
