Technical Information
Offered here is a 1989 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Coupe, a heavily documented and extensively restored first-year 964 combining classic air-cooled Porsche character with a professionally installed widebody conversion and significant mechanical upgrades. Showing 204,807 documented miles, this example has had well over $100,000 invested in service, restoration, and improvements, including a fully redone engine.
The 1989 Carrera 4 holds an important place in Porsche history as the model that introduced the 964 generation and brought all-wheel drive to the production 911. Powered by the 3.6-liter M64 air-cooled flat-six paired with a G64 five-speed manual transmission, the 964 maintained the unmistakable character of the classic 911 while introducing significant advancements in performance, suspension, braking, and everyday usability.
This example has been given a more aggressive presence through a professionally installed widebody conversion complemented by genuine Porsche Turbo wheels and an OEM Porsche T-tail. A Fabspeed dual-outlet exhaust and pre-muffler catalytic bypass pipe further enhance the sound and character of the air-cooled flat-six.
Mechanically, the car has received extensive attention. The engine has been fully redone, with documented work including a major service, new seals, and clutch work. Additional servicing includes new transmission mounts, attention to the Carrera 4 all-wheel-drive system, new axle shafts and boots, and new fuel lines and fuel regulator.
The suspension has also been extensively upgraded with H&R performance coilovers front and rear, an H&R rear sway bar, and additional upgraded components. Combined with the Carrera 4 drivetrain, these improvements give the car a more focused setup to match its widebody appearance.
A substantial binder of records accompanies the car, documenting regular servicing, oil changes, mechanical repairs, restoration work, upgrades, and ongoing care. With five owners from new, the history provides valuable context for the mileage and demonstrates the significant investment made in maintaining and improving the car throughout its life.
The 964 has become one of the most desirable generations of the air-cooled 911, bridging traditional Porsche character with greater performance and usability. With its first-year Carrera 4 specification, five-speed manual transmission, fully redone engine, extensive documentation, widebody presentation, and substantial mechanical investment, this example offers a distinctive opportunity for an enthusiast looking for an air-cooled Porsche built to be driven and enjoyed.
