As I’ve been finding and writing about a good number of 930s and 993 Turbos I’ve been meaning to come back around to the 3.3 liter 964 Turbo to check in on where the market stands and just generally appreciate these cars. My desire came to a head after I happened across one in the city a couple weeks ago. It stood out more than I would have expected, especially given how common a 911 Turbo is on our streets. But this was different – I nearly walked into traffic. Granted, I’m more drawn to these than your average person wandering the streets, but still the sound and look immediately made clear to me that I needed to pay attention. So here we have one. Guards Red certainly isn’t a hugely unique color, but it’s still a good one and this particular one does come with a more unique interior than what I’m accustom to seeing. Grey wouldn’t be everyone’s choice, but it’s still nice to have some variation among the many Red/Black examples we see. This Guards Red 1991 Porsche 911 Turbo, located in Utah, sits with 39,523 miles on it and though the color in the pictures seems somewhat off it still presents very well and promises to turn quite a few heads.

While I always appreciate brevity in an ad, this one is taking that a bit too far. We’re even lacking some needed pictures of the interior. The interior pictures we see show an interior in good shape and which has been cared for, but I always like to see the seats and get a general sense of the entire package – as I’m sure any interested buyer will desire. Since this is a one-owner car we can hope that problem can be remedied, along with additional details about its history and maintenance. That means there’s a good bit of leg work to be done, but if everything checks out then this Turbo should make for a fine option. I think this one is priced reasonably and it comes in under the typical price of an ’89 930 – the only year that model also came equipped with a 5-speed transmission. As sort of an advanced version of the 930, but with a different body, the 3.3 liter 964 Turbo is a great choice for those who’d like to drive their Turbo, yet it should still hold its value quite well as long as it continues to receive good care.

I’m not obsessed with “the market”, especially for the 911 and all its derivatives, but I’ve been curious about something: Why are asking prices for the 3.6 Turbo sometimes twice as much as for a comparable 3.3? I imagine fewer were built, but are there any compelling differences other than that and whatever performance differences (probably never exploited by 99% of owners) there might be?
