1992 911 Turbo

By the late ‘80s, Porsche engineers were hard at work on a new turbocharged engine for the forthcoming replacement for the successful 930 turbo, but unfortunately, it just wasn’t ready in time for the 1991 model year. The result was a newly designed 964 car with a proven 3.3-liter powerplant from the outgoing 930. However, several updates improved the engine, increasing power to 320 bhp and 362 lb/ft of torque.

This 1992 911 Turbo comes to us as part of DriverSource’s Oktmotorfest Collection. Showing 67,000 miles on the odometer, it is finished in a rare shade of Amazon Green Metallic over Classic Grey leather and optioned with a sunroof and draped leather front and rear seats.

The paint is in beautiful condition, and although the seller notes that the right-rear quarter panel has been refinished, I’d venture to guess that the hood was painted as paint meter readings are uneven and high, even for a car with PPF. The interior is immaculate, which is a testament to how well this car has been kept, as the light grey leather would show everything.

The undercarriage and engine bay are just as clean as this car benefited from dry-ice blasting in preparation for the sale. Mechanically, I’d say this car is in great shape, as a binder full of service records comes with the sale. Overall, it is an excellent example, even with some paintwork.

This time last year, not a day went by without seeing some form of 964 Turbo for sale. But over the previous six months, sales have pittered off as this is only the fourth car to come across the block in the US. Prices, however, have remained strong as no single example has sold below $200k, and two cars have brought above $250k.

Our Spotlight car sold at a final bid of $239,000. It was a strong sale as both of those $250k+ examples had less than 16,000 miles. The condition of this car, its maintenance history, and the fact that we just haven’t seen many of these lately pushed this one up. Well sold for now, although in a few years, I feel we’ll think this one got away.
