1990 Porsche 911 Carrera 2
SOLD
Our lovingly restored 1990 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 is a stunning example of the air-cooled eras evolution, showing just 55K miles and finished in the iconic Guards Red exterior over a clean and purposeful Black interior. This particular car is part of the 964 generation, a model that holds tremendous significance in Porsches history and remains a favorite among purists and enthusiasts alike. The 964 was introduced in 1989 and marked a major step forward in the 911s development, blending the unmistakable DNA of the classic 911 silhouette with modern performance, engineering, and usability. It retained the soul of the air-cooled, rear-engine legend while integrating over 85% new components compared to its predecessor. Most notably, the Carrera 2 was the rear-wheel-drive version of the newly reengineered 911, offering a purer, more traditional driving experience than the heavier, all-wheel-drive Carrera 4. For many enthusiasts, the Carrera 2 is the sweet spot in the 964 lineuplighter, more connected, and more engaging on the road, with fewer electronic systems and a more analog feel thats increasingly rare in todays world. Under the rear decklid sits a 3.6-liter flat-six engine producing 247 horsepower and 228 lb-ft of torque, mated to a crisp-shifting 5-speed G50 manual transmission, widely regarded as one of Porsches best. The sound and character of the air-cooled flat-six is pure magic, delivering a mechanical, visceral soundtrack that builds as the revs climb. This example has been tastefully enhanced to further elevate the driving experience while retaining the essence of what makes the 964 so special. It sits on a set of KW coilovers, giving it improved handling response and a more planted, confidence-inspiring stance without compromising ride comfort. The upgraded suspension allows the chassis to really shine on winding roads, delivering sharp turn-in, balanced weight transfer, and that classic rear-engine traction out of corners that defines the 911 experience. Complementing the dynamic upgrades are several well-executed interior touches, including custom door cards that pay homage to lightweight RS-style designs, enhancing both aesthetics and reducing interior mass. These are paired with an upgraded Porsche-branded radio unit that maintains a factory look while adding modern functionality like Bluetooth and streaming, making this 911 equally suited for spirited weekend drives or longer journeys. The Black interior remains largely original in feel, with the classic five-gauge layout, leather-wrapped steering wheel, and minimal driver distractions that have made Porsche cockpits such a favorite for decades. The condition of the materials, from the dash to the seats and carpets, reflects the cars careful stewardship and recent restoration efforts. The exterior, finished in the unmistakable Guards Red, is deep and glossy, showcasing the wide rear fenders, upright headlights, and integrated bumpers that gave the 964 a more modern, cohesive look without sacrificing its lineage. The paint quality, panel fitment, and trim details all speak to the quality of the restoration work, and the result is a car that presents beautifully from every angle. Rolling on factory-style wheels wrapped in fresh rubber, the stance is aggressive but tasteful, with just enough drop from the coilovers to accentuate the cars athletic lines. Driving this Carrera 2 is a reminder of why the 964 has become such a sought-after platformit combines modern driving dynamics with classic 911 feedback, feeling tight, responsive, and alive in a way that newer cars often can't replicate. Theres a rawness to the experience, yet everything operates with precision. The steering is unassisted, delivering every nuance of the road through your fingertips, and the brake pedal is firm and confidence-inspiring, exactly as it should be. The G50 gearbox shifts with a satisfying mechanical action, encouraging spirited rowing through the gears while the flat-six builds power in a linear, intoxicating manner. This 964 doesnt just drive wellit drives right. Beyond performance and style, the 964 Carrera 2 has gained major significance in the Porsche collector world. It represents a bridge between the purely analog early 911s and the more modern iterations that followed, offering a unique blend of usability, comfort, and old-school charm. The 964 introduced coil springs and ABS to the 911, along with a much more refined HVAC system and better overall ergonomics, making it one of the first air-cooled 911s truly capable of being a daily driver. Yet it still retains the soul and simplicity of its predecessors. Its also the last generation with the classic torsion-bar-style body lines before the design began to shift in the later 993 series. The market has responded accordingly, with clean, low-mileage 964s in high demand among both collectors and drivers who want an experience that modern sports cars simply cant deliver. This particular car, with its tasteful modifications, low mileage, and high-quality restoration, strikes the perfect balance between preservation and performance. It is a turn-key example ready to be enjoyed immediately, whether that means carving through mountain roads, attending cars and coffee, or simply appreciating one of the most iconic Porsches of the modern classic era. Every detail has been addressed with care, and its clear that this car was built and maintained by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts. Its a rare opportunity to own a piece of Porsche history that looks, drives, and feels exactly as it shouldsharp, engaging, and unmistakably special.
