Hey there. New member and currently own a 958 CTT. On the hunt for a 991.1. I am not picky as long as it is Guards Red Turbo S with Centerlock wheels with Black Interior. Other option is white.
Willing to pay a reasonable price.
Please let me know if anyone is interested in selling.
Thank you very much,
Tim
Good luck, took me 6 months to find mine. Most guards red are on tan. And they all seemed to be 14-15s. Look at the turbo also mine is 14 turbo with all the turbo s options, and ceramics. Some of the earlier turbo cars were optioned weird and had a lot of options. www.autotempest.com and I checked every single day and on manheim.
Thanks for the response and tip on autotempest. Never seen that before.
There is another post on colors of 991.2 TTS's. Guards and Carmine were about 2% each of the total production color #'s. I am looking for a needle in the haystack.
Your car must have been the red one (the other one was white) n the post on 6-speed online? It might be in here too for all I know. Good gravy are those #'s impressive.

Yes it was, thanks ,good luck with the search. Once you load the search into autotempest. You can sort by new listing the following day, so you only have to review what was listed recently saves a lot of time checking each site and ebay. I found mine on manheim, might make sense to reach out to any of your local dealers and tell them that if they see a guard red 991 that you're interested.
Nice looking car. Didn't realize my car was such a rare breed. Turbo Tim good luck with the search. Keep us posted and post pics when you find that "one".
Thanks for the words, pics, and everything in this thread. Someone mentioned that most of the Guards Red TTS' had tan interior. One popped-up in Michigan recently and it had - you guessed it - tan interior. Car is close but doesn't hit the mark - 39K miles, all black centerlocks, tan interior, and priced a bit high. Where is the source of your information for the interior color?
I bought one in mid-December - searched pretty hard for about 6 months (but I also changed specs/models a few times along the way). My goto list was this:
pcarmarket
carfax (nice for finding CPO's - seemed at times to have ones not on the Porsche site)
bringatrailer
cars
autotrader
porsche CPO
rennlist
autolist
carsforsale
edmunds
Obviously, a lot of overlapping with ads between these, but you'd also be surprised how many times a car was listed on only one of the sites.

im also in the market for one, don’t you need a dealer license to look and buy on manheim?

You do, but dealers can pull them up for you. I also have a buddy with a license that lets me browse his account. I will say it is slim pickens on Manheim - basically a bunch of classified ads - not a lot of cars running though Simulcast. It's a hot market - people have extra cash from having vacations and other activities canceled due to Covid. It's not driving up price terribly, but it is driving turnover. Cars don't last long on lots.

Just personal experience, every time I'd get excited to find a guards red car 8 times out of 10 it would have tan interior. And those cars sat for sale for a while too.

Yeah I have a buddy that lets me use his account, I basically looked every day, he said new inventory goes up on monday and tuesday. I found mine was listed on Wednesday and in line the following day on Thursday. Yeah prices now are crazy, just looking at NADA, vs asking prices, its 10-20k over NADA.
