I have a 1990 S2 Cab with super low mileage to offer. It's not exactly what you are looking for but I am in Houston so I figured I would reach out anyway just in case. Email me at cbmerritt@sbcglobal.net if interested.. Thanks

I have an 89 Turbo with 80k - Completely Stock Except for the wheels. Probably too many miles for you.

Goodluck mate I just bought one in S-Europe with 106.000 Km on it. Wasn't an easy find.
Good tip ask the sellers for the factory build sticker if it has the code 951952 or 951052 with option code 758 on it, its the real deal. Than an easy filter to spot the fake ones. Lots of fakes out there, also watch for the vin number it has to be in a specific range!
"Also the VIN number should be in the range WPOZZZ95ZJN100001 – 1875, and the engine number should be in the range 47J00001 – 47J01830 if it is the original."

"Also I understand the engine code is different - M44/51 is the normal 951 (220HP) used in 1986 thru 1988 Turbo, M44/52 (247HP) is the Turbo S for 1988 and the Turbo for 1989 (no Special model for 89 - only one Turbo model offered)"

Hi there - I have an 89, Turbo S, 59k miles original. Marine blue interior, all stock. r134 only modification, so AC blows cold. message me and happy to connect. It was on BaT but funky last day and did not meet the reserve, but looking to get an air cooled 911 next! Had it for 2 years, been super, needs nothing, timing belt at 5 years, so a little time left.

Thx.

Mate that is really not an "S" The only real ones where Model '88 sold from late'87 for 8 months so '89 is a turbo never a turbo "S"

True, True by pure badging. My bad. But it is a 951S, 247hp. So the same as the 88 S.
