Description of 1989 Porsche 911 964 Carrera 4

Iconic Guards Red/Black Leather Interior53. 00 Original MilesPCA Member OwnedHeavily Serviced and DocumentedClean Carfax ReportThis gorgeous example was delivered in April of 1989 through the Tourist Delivery Program to its first owner. one of the lucky few who were fortunate enough to get their hands on the 1. 17 delivered in 1989 before the 1990 hard release of the 964. Used as a fair weather weekend driver. it accumulated very few miles before the original owner's untimely death and his widow. unable to part with it. retained the car for the better part of the next twenty years. She had the car periodically maintained by the local Porsche dealership. always keeping it garaged and driving it sparingly until her death. at which point her daughter consigned the car to a local high end dealership. I was lucky enough to find it there and purchased it a couple years ago. The sparing use and low mileage are what initially drew me to the car. but its cosmetics are also in great shape. The Guards Red finish is striking. the 911s most iconic color throughout the 80s and 90s. The car retains all of its original body panel chassis number stickers. the gaps and panel fits are all consistent and the car is marred only by the most minor of imperfections. none of which are significant enough to appear in any of the pictures or detract from the car's considerable overall appeal. The car's interior is equally as clean. the original leather seats showing only typical wear commensurate with a low mileage example. the carpets. interior panels and headliner in excellent condition and the dash original and crack free. The car also car comes with all of its original books and manuals. as well as a clean Carfax report and service records all confirming the mileage and maintenance history. Always well maintained. the car is also mechanically strong and a joy to drive. Starting effortlessly. the original 3. 6L H6 idles consistently and pulls strongly and smoothly through each of the 5-speed transmission's gears. Compression is strong across all cylinders and the transmission (professionally rebuilt upon my acquisition) is flawless. The car's ride quality is excellent. driving and braking straight and true and handling with that legendary 911 grip. augmented further by the AWD. Regardless of whether you're tooling through town. winding through back roads or bombing down the highway. the car always provides a grin-inducing experience from behind the wheel. and I'll inevitably be kicking myself when its next owner drives it away. This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a beautiful. low mileage. mechanically sound example of a desirable and quickly appreciating model that has recently joined its predecessors in the ranks of timeless Porsche classics. This should come as no surprise. considering that in 1989 ½. the U. S. economy was dealing with a recession. yielding considerably lower production numbers compared to its 3. 2L predecessor and 3. 4L successor. Furthermore. the 964 is exceptionally comfortable compared to earlier 911s. yet it still retains that visceral Porsche ride quality and wonderful air-cooled engine tone. Over the last ten years the model reached the bottom of its depreciation curve and is now quickly appreciating. and there will inevitably come a time when enthusiasts' will wish that they'd acquired this special 964 at 2015 prices.
