To whale tail or not to whale tail? That is the question. Perhaps this 911 will further the divergence in the conversation. Of course, on the 964 a whale tail is a much more rare thing. One of the engineering changes that debuted with the 964 was the electronically activated rear spoiler that raised to provide better aerodynamics at speed. The intent was a best-of-both-worlds design: the purity of the 911’s shape remained intact, but stability at higher speeds could be improved as well. There were some exceptions: the RS America did away with the fancy electronic spoiler in favor of a whale tail and, of course, the 911 Turbo continued to showcase a tail similar in design to the original tea tray of the 930. The owner of this 964 has chosen to add the tail to this Silver 1991 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Coupe.

While the overall appearance isn’t quite as great as the whale-tail equipped Widebody Carrera 4 I featured previously, this is a pretty good looking 964. With the whale tail and the Cup wheels this Carrera 4 looks an awful lot like a RS America. For me, that’s not a bad thing as I’m a big fan of the look of the RS America. For those who would prefer to return the car to its original, non-whale-tail, appearance the seller makes no mention of the availability of the original rear, but perhaps it will be available. All in all this appears to be a pretty nice Carrera 4. The mileage is reasonable and everything looks in good shape. Priced just below $50K, the asking price isn’t too bad either, though I think coming down a few thousand would make everyone a little happier.
