Default Collect them all?

As I sit here waiting for a 5pm meeting (yeah nice, eh?) I can't help but daydream about owning every variation of 964 one day as part of a collection. I've driven just about every production car you can imagine and I keep coming back to the 964. Maybe it was because I overlooked it as a young man and subsequently became enamored with it...I don't know. For now, however, I'm rather obsessed with them.

So, I think this is the list;

1989 C4
1990 C2
1991 C4 cab
1992 C2 cab
1992 Targa
1992 964 Cup car
1991 Turbo 3.3
1993 RS America
1992 America Roadster
1993 Turbo 3.6
1994 C4 widebody
1994 Speedster
1994 Speedster Turbo look (only 9 made?)
1994 Turbo 3.6 S (17 made?)
1994 Speedster 3.8 (Seinfeld's car)

Then of course there's the Euro RS version and RSR cars.

Am I missing any?

That's go to add up to, what? $750,000? Not including the Euro RS or RSR. Call it a million I guess.

Doesn't seem like such a great idea now....;-)

Don't forget the 1992 964 Cup car.

I'm not sure I understand the choice of years to represent the models you have selected, but I think the RS America was offered for the 1993 and 1994 model years, not 1992.

Oh, and don't forget the 1994 widebody C4 offered in the US, and the 1993 Anniversary Edition widebody C4 offered ROW.

No shortage of variations that's for sure.

All you need is a turbo 3.6, an RS, and a C4 for bad weather. Maybe a cab if you like that sort of thing.

A Turbo 3.6 (S if you can find one), an RS, a C4 (jacked up into rally mode) and a 964 Speedster.

The 964 (and I love them) appears to be the start of the AFAB Era at Porsche - Anything For A Buck. It seems they were really uncertain about their offerings or they were trying to appeal to everyone.

An interesting perspective. Undeniably, the 964 is the generation that foretold the truly "modern" Porsche both in terms of engineering AND marketing...
