The Polar Silver 1994 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6 we featured back in October is up for sale again, this time as a reserve auction. It appears it has also moved from a private seller to a dealer, which has provided us the benefit of much better pictures than we had with the original ad and those pictures show us that this 911 appears to have been well cared for. While not high mileage this Turbo 3.6 does have a few more miles on it than most that we come across so we’ll have to see where bidding ultimately finishes.

After a hiatus from posting them here we are two weeks in a row that I will have featured a 1994 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6. I spoke previously about seeking out interesting examples and while the car we see here isn’t as interesting a color combination as the Amethyst Metallic over Magenta Turbo 3.6 from last week there are some aspects that still make this one an interesting proposition. For starters, its $189,000 asking price is well below the nearly $315,000 asking price of that Amethyst example. That is in large part due to the mileage differences between each car – 68K versus 28K – and in part due to the rarity of that Amethyst color combination. Polar Silver certainly is not as rare, though it is not incredibly common on these cars either, but it remains very well regarded among 911 fans, especially for the 964, and always attracts a good deal of notice.

Ok, so at $189K we aren’t exactly engaging in bargain basement shopping here, but as recent auctions have indicated the market for the Turbo 3.6 has been (pardon the pun) accelerating rapidly. This Polar Silver example fits into the “driver” category given the mileage, but it sounds as if the seller has a good deal of documentation on hand (though we could use some better photos), which should make prospective buyers feel more comfortable about the significant outlay. If your interest lies purely on performance you can undoubtedly find much cheaper examples by foregoing the air-cooled market and finding a good 996TT or 997TT. The price will be significantly lower. Hell, you could get one of each. But for many that is all beside the point. Air-cooled 911s have their own particular appeal and that comes with a steep price, especially when the car in question is one of the most sought-after of the breed. If your desire is for one of the holy grails of air-cooled performance AND you want to be able to enjoy putting some mileage on the beast, then an example like this one may be just the sort to have an eye on.
