1994 Porsche 911 Speedster

Last year, as Porsche began to wrap up production of the 997 series 911, the first Speedster model emerged from the factory in 17 years. This was only the third generation of 911 to have a Speedster model, and this 1994 model was the 2011 model’s direct predecessor. With 930 produced, this was the second rarest 964, save for the Jubilee Edition, which was not sold in the US. It was a bit of a mash up between a 911 cabriolet and 964 RS, but had a less aggressive suspension setup than the RS and less creature comforts than the cabriolet, as the Speedster name was meant to conjure up an image of a drivers car. The following example for sale in New Jersey has under 30,000 miles, but low mileage is not exactly uncommon with these cars, as many collectors snapped them up when new.

1994 Porsche 911 Speedster on eBay

1994 Porsche 911 Speedster, very limited production with only 427 built for the US market. Black with black leather sport seats, A/C, power windows, factory rear shell style boot when the convertible top is down. Alpine CD sound system. What a great investment auto, this car won’t last!

This is a smoke-free automobile. There is no damage evident on this vehicle. This is a garage kept vehicle. The engine on this vehicle is running properly. This vehicle has no known defects. The mileage represented on this vehicle is accurate. There are no signs of prior damage on this vehicle. There are no noticeable dings on the exterior of this vehicle. This vehicle has a smooth shifting transmission. All power equipment is functioning properly. The exterior of this vehicle is extra clean. Extra clean interior. Absolutely no rips, odors or abuse. There is approximately 75% of the tire tread remaining.

The asking price of around $85,000 is right around the high end of what you would expect to pay for a 964 Speedster with this kind of mileage. Only the rarest color and trim combinations might bring over $100,000 these days. Personally, I think around $70,000 to $75,000 is about right, as there is nothing too out of the ordinary that sets this particular Speedster apart from the crowd.

    I guess I’m a bit weird, as Porsche owners go. The Speedster models don’t interest me at all. I think they are ugly and I’ve never been a fan of paying a premium for cars with less equipment.

    Therefore, I’ll leave commenting on this particular car to those readers who do like them.

    Sorry, Kevin, but I don’t “get” these Speedsters any more than you do. Especially at these nutty prices…

    I owned one of these 964 Speedsters. In 1995 I bought one with 6000 miles on it for $56k. In two years I put 10k miles on it and then it was stolen out of my gargae. My Insurance company paid me $51k for it which at the time was a lot more then the market was paying for them. The prices have appreciated a lot since then. It has nothing in common with a true 964 RS, the RS was never sold in the US and was a much more powerful car and better car. Its really a 964 cab with a chopped windshield, light weight fabric top and RS america door panels. The rest is standard issue 964. I loved the look and I loved that car. Many years later I was tracked down by the guy who bought it from the Insurance Auction. It was found totally stripped the day after it was stolen. I have owned just about every configuration of 964 sold in the US and the Speedie was about my favorite. I wouldrather buy a driver with more miles for a lot less. This seller is looking for high end of the market IMO and I dont think it will trade there.

    Agree with your point, Howard. What I was trying to convey was the Speedster giving off more of the lighter weight/less content aura than the typical 964, save for the RS (or RS America that was sold stateside)…even if there wasn’t a big weight advantage between the two.

    I run the Speedster Registry for the Porsce Club of America. I can tell you first hand that this Speedster will sell for $85k, and will most likely be purchased by an international customer in Europe or Asia. For one, they only made 900+ of these cars in 1994, and roughly half came to the US. The current exchange rate plus the rarity internationally make this car quite desireable. I get 2-3 calls/emails per month from locators abroad looking for ’89 and ’94 Speedsters…
