About this car
This 1989 Porsche 911 Speedster is one of 823 US-market examples produced for the model year. Finished in silver over black leather, the car is powered by a numbers-matching 3.2-liter flat-six paired with a G50 five-speed manual transaxle. Equipment includes 16″ Fuchs wheels, a black soft top, power-adjustable heated seats, a factory short shifter, a three-spoke steering wheel, and a replacement Blaupunkt AM/FM/cassette stereo.
Staggered-width 16” Fuchs forged wheels feature black centers with polished lips and are mounted with 205/55 front and 245/50 rear BFGoodrich g-Force Comp-2 tires. Braking is handled by black Porsche-script calipers over cross-drilled rotors at all four corners. The 3.2-liter flat-six utilizes Bosch LE-Jetronic fuel injection and produced a factory-rated 214 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque when new.
Service under prior ownership included rebuilding the brake booster and replacing the starter, shifter bushings, brake master cylinder, battery, fluids, engine mounts, and ignition components.

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.
