About this car
The 1989 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 (964) presents a striking Guards Red coupe finished over a full black leather interior. This example is powered by a 3.6-litre air-cooled Boxer 6 engine paired with a 5-speed manual G50 transmission and all-wheel drive. The car has remained in Connecticut since new, having been purchased from Porsche Avon and kept by its most recent owner since 2002.
Throughout its life the 964 has been maintained to a high standard and received a comprehensive recent service that brought the entire vehicle up to exacting mechanical condition. It retains its original books and manuals along with period-correct equipment that underscores its well-preserved character.

The Porsche 911 Carrera G-Series, produced between 1974 and 1989, represents a significant evolution of the iconic 911 lineup. Over its 15-year production run, approximately 196,000 units were manufactured across various trims, including the Carrera, making it one of the longest-running generations of the 911. The G-Series introduced key updates like impact bumpers to meet U.S. safety regulations and galvanized steel bodies for improved corrosion resistance, enhancing longevity—a critical factor for collectors.
Engine options varied, with the Carrera models typically featuring air-cooled flat-six engines ranging from 2.7 to 3.2 liters, producing between 175 and 231 horsepower depending on the year and market. Performance highlights include the 1984-1989 Carrera 3.2, which achieved 0-60 mph in around 5.6 seconds. Notable for collectors are rare variants like the 911 Turbo (930) and special editions such as the 1988 Commemorative Edition, built to celebrate 250,000 911s produced. Values have risen steadily, with well-maintained examples often fetching over $50,000, and rare models exceeding $100,000 at auctions. The G-Series’ blend of classic design, durability, and historical importance as a transitional model makes it highly sought after in the exotic car market.
