1993 Porsche 911 RS America

Few models in the 911 range epitomize the sharp increase in value we’ve seen with air-cooled 911s better than the RS America. While the asking price for many of these cars has tended to far eclipse those actual values, we are still seeing these trade for quite a bit more than just a year or two ago. The RS America always traded at a premium relative to other non-Turbo 964 variants for the simple fact of its rarity and sporting nature, but for a time it was rare to see one priced above $60K or $70K. Now, it has become almost as rare to find one priced below $100K! So while the RS America may have begun its life as a less expensive alternative to the Carrera 2 it is now a far more expensive proposition. The example we see here is a rare Polar Silver Metallic 1993 Porsche 911 RS America, located in Oregon, with 57,934 miles equipped with 3 of the 4 available options: air-conditioning, limited-slip, and radio.

I like some of the modifications here and Polar Silver isn’t a color I’ve come across very often on a RS America (even if it isn’t the most exciting), but I think this car is a long way from reaching this sort of asking price. I know I’ve come across examples with similar mileage that are completely original, but in red, black, or white, which are priced below this one so this is definitely a reach unless there is a buyer out there that REALLY likes Polar Silver. Given the high Buy It Now we may never know exactly what happens with this car, as opposed to if it were an auction, but I’ll still have an eye on it to see what sort of price it might be able to fetch.
