Wow is right. It doesn't seem like all that long ago you could count them on one hand.

mr. rpm

Yes quite a few 964 turbos on the market currently but the real question is how many of those are exceptionally good? I think I know the answer....

cobalt

Slim to none?

Interesting that Hagerty has finally figured out that the true #1 MY 94 turbo can fetch up to $345k or more with the fair conditioned car worth only $129k. They had them clumped together for so long. Apparently they are learning it is all about condition and not model.

Not sure how Porsche had it positioned (standard or optional) but some heated mirrors. There is no tubing etc.. but the glass is energized by two leads that run from the mirror harness.

...as are all heated external mirrors in automotive applications.
As I said, I had my mirrors off but didn't recall any power leads connecting to the mirror glass but I must have connected them per this wiring diagram:

Wow,... put some Aerospace303 on that tail rubber!!

Currently found Qty 11 3.3 Turbo's (1991 & 1992) for sale here in the US. Did not scrutinize each.

Damn, that things baked in the sun awhile!

No helping that. Needs to be replaced. I have a product that would make it look good for a month or two ( can't get it in CA) but eventually that will look as dried out as it is.

A lot of scary stuff on the market. It reminds me of when i was looking for homes back in 92. Everything was the left over crap that people overpaid for just a few years earlier and the good stuff people battled over.

Metal Guru

Hmmm, maybe mine wasn't too bad.
I wiped it down with lacquer thinner to removed the oxidized layer of rubber and have treated it with Aerospace 303 3-4 times a year for 10 years now. It doesn't look new but it doesn't look bad either.

cobalt

Probably not that bad to begin with. I use the same approach and it usually works. I like the 303 for average condition stuff. I don't think this car saw the inside of a garage for the last 100k miles. Although when they get that dried out it is tough to get the finish to back. It is nearly gray it is so dry.

There are so many things going on with this car i wouldn't know where to begin. The A/C hoses might be a good place. I bet it blows cold air. LOL

Here you go...

I don't know about this special ordered car. Weird build if this is true.

cobalt

?????

Something is going on here. Is it me or are the calipers painted red over the black. It looks as though they taped over the lettering and painted the rest red. I have seen the turbo S flachbau in this color and it looked different to me. But who knows. I also wonder what is going on with the hood. WHy is it so poorly aligned if it only has 717 miles. Also someone cut the front carpeting to put the tech art camber bar in and I doubt the tech art lights are factory.

There is a plaque on the air bag passenger side. If it says anything why no picture? I guess if there is some truth it will find a buyer but I am not so sure.

Besides 308 would make it the second to last 3.3 imported not the last so deduct $100,000. LOL

You would think if they are asking that type of $$$ they would provide documentation on the special wishes order etc...
Also didn't know you could order Speediness from the factory in 1992?

bweSteve

I don't think the hood is poorly aligned. I believe it is the long single piece rubber seal along the entire length that rises up & slightly over top of the front edge of each fender.

Mine does the same thing. I never noticed it when standing up close, and then a RL'er mentioned the same thing about a different car & I stepped back to look at mine.
It has the same illusion.

But you are right,.. the calipers are strange with that black behind the letters.

cobalt

Agreed!!!

I discounted thinking that if you had contacts you might have been able to order them since they were standard on the 92 ROW TurboS. Atlhough if they were period correct the valve stems should be at the spoke vs the later style that moved the valve stem between the spokes.

Actually a factory aligned hood should allow you to run a string along the hood and fenders so that there is almost no gap between the string and any panel. This is clearly at least 3/8' or more on the right and a little less on the left. I suspect something is amiss but without seeing it in person it is only speculation.

I also just noticed that it is a Tech Art front splitter and not a factory unit. No doubt this was done later.

It might be a nice car but for this money a lot of research needs to be done. Also if the owner does not have all records and the original window sticker I would have to question what this car is all about. You would think if it was show car that everything would have been saved and documented.

Is it me or does it look as though the license plate plugs have been painted over? Also the shell oil sticker is in the wrong place and appears to be the larger Car bone version.
