Another 3.6 liter 964 Turbo? Yes, another 3.6 liter 964 Turbo. Though I hadn’t come across an interesting one of these for a while I’ve now seen two this week that both captured my attention, each for its own reasons. My interest here is two-fold: first, this color combination is really speaking to me. I don’t want to try to over-analyze it because I do enough of that with other colors and these aren’t that unique. But I haven’t seen it much on this model and photographed here in mostly direct sunlight I love it. The second reason I’m interested is because unlike many of the other ads we’ve come across this one is actually an auction. It’s a reserve auction, but an auction nonetheless and therefore we might get a better sense of where these models are being valued. If you just want to know the asking price you can check Hunting Ridge Motors’ website (it’s a high price), but my curiosity is simpler. I’ve long wondered where the prices of these Turbos would stack up against their twin-turbocharged successors, the 993. The 993 clearly appears to be more highly valued than the 3.3 liter 964 Turbo, which shouldn’t surprise us, but what about the 3.6? The 964 has rarity in its favor, while the 993 is noted for being the last of the air-cooled Turbos. But it’s also all-wheel drive, a point that might shift the 964 back into the lead for some owners.

As much as I’m drawn to the combination of this Midnight Blue exterior with the contrast of the Tan interior, once we actually step into that interior things go a little awry. While I know this sort of thing is entirely subjective, the gauge surrounds need to be removed immediately. I’m also not a huge fan of having the black carpeting and piping, but each of those items concerns me a little less. While a monotone interior isn’t always desirable having too much contrast doesn’t necessarily work either. Subjective matters aside, this looks like a great example of these fantastic Turbos and it certainly sets itself apart from many of the others I’ve come across. As for my curiosity regarding the bidding: we currently sit at $150,100, which is well below the typical asking price of a Turbo 3.6. Where will bidding end?
