Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet (964) 1991 Manual

Circumstances force me to sell my much loved and well looked after 964 – I have owned this car since 2001. I am just not in a position to enjoy it any more. Note the history of my ownership and care for this car is basically tracked on this site, search my posts since 2002.

I have not kept up with prices, I would love for advice as to what I should look for before I list it.

Detailed description below. Photos follow

Thank you

Great car, I'm not current on cab prices, but I'd love to know more about the steering wheel.

newsboy

I would guess around 35K-40K.

Earlydays

Just curious....why the "complete" engine rebuild??

Ruairidh

Why the rebuild? Oil pump failure, before you joined the site. I then chose to have a full rebuild done because I thought i would be keeping the car forever.

Jjm4life

Not sure what can prices are like, but I'd venture to guess 40k is a good starting point.
Great looking 964. Sorry to hear you have to move on. Glws

deadendd9009

Gives the meaning to "no expense spared". Good luck with the sale.

TJsBeer

Beautiful car with great mods. Put it on Bring A Trailor Auctions with a reserve of $40k. They typically get top dollar on that site.

Ruairidh

Thanks all for info and good wishes.

I had not heard of Bring A Trailor Auctions - anyone here used them?

Any recommendations for Dallas consignment sellers? I have a recommendation for Texas Classic Cars. Anyone dealt with them?
