Had a 964 and it had that smell. Turned out it's a combination of "leaks". Oil leaks onto the heat exchanger and into the cabin. Water leak from the windshield, door shield, etc. into the floor pad where it sits and becomes moldy. The moldy and oily smell then combine and aged in the car sitting outside in 90 degrees heat into the smell we're all familiar with.
My newer 993 which does not leak oil nor water doesn't have this 'smell'. Seriously!!!

I had a friend ride in my car for the first time last week. They got in and said 'what's that smell'...... I was polite and said something about oil/air cooling.... next time I can say with authority that it's a rare blend of Testosterone, money, oil, fear and ****.... excellent!
