The 1992 Porsche 911 Carrera Cup we featured back in May is on offer again, with a price reduction of a little over $10,000. It’s still not pocket change, but with air-cooled prices on the move, this rare, competition focused 964 is sure to be a top prize in the vintage Porsche portfolio years on.

The Porsche 911 is a popular feature of ours when it comes to Motorsports Monday, with many owners taking it upon themselves to improve the breed for competition. But Porsche has created its own race specials of their evergreen sports car over the years. One of our favorites is the Porsche 911 Cup from the early 1990s. What looks like a run of the mill 964 is anything but, with a stripped out interior, aluminum hood, magnesium wheels and a seam welded chassis. There were 45 examples produced, which were meant to compete in a race series. There was a failure to gain sponsorship for the race series and instead of these cars seeing track time, they were quietly sold through the Porsche dealer network in the US. This 911 Carrera Cup for sale in Texas is a Porsche Concours winner and in factory fresh condition, looking as if you could eat off the exposed floorboards.

With 964 RS Americas fetching six figures these days, I’m not terribly surprised at the asking price for this ultra low mileage Carrera Cup. As unreal as $400,000 seems, we have to remember that this is one of the rarest 964 variants out there. Given the condition of this car, it seems highly unlikely it will turn a wheel in competition any time soon. That’s quite a shame, given how track focused this 911 is. There seems to be no end to the increase in air-cooled 911 values and cars like this Carrera Cup are leading the way.

The Holy Grail of 964’s. Also knowing the reputation of RPM, if that’s a car you want just buy it, their reputation is excellent.
