1992 Porsche 911 Turbo S2

Of all the 911 generations that have come and gone, the 964 is probably my favorite, blending the classic profile with some nice smoothing out touches such as modern bumpers and updated wheels. This is an interesting 964 version, and rare. There were only 20 Turbo S models with the higher horsepower 3.3 liter turbo flat six and this is one of them. Interesting then, that someone decided to modify such a rare car with a later, factory slant nose conversion.

As rare as this 911 is, the modifications just don’t do it for me. The 18″ wheels jack the stance up way too much and the front end conversion is questionable. While the price is certainly in line with similar 911 Turbos of the vintage, and the mileage is good, this car is a classic example of messing with perfection. The changes make it look like a cheap kit car, not the serious autobahn stormer that it actually is.

    I agree completely, Paul. Someone turned a truly beautiful car into a cheap-looking kit car.

    Unfortunately, it would take a lot of cash and craftsmanship to un-convert it back to normal.

    At nearly $80K, they are clearly looking for that one special buyer who thinks these “upgrades” will make this car even more collectible.

    Auction made it to $69200 with 22 bids (reserve not met). Buy it now was $79800.

    An absolute abhorrence of a brilliant and profoundly rare 911.
