Vehicle Detail

I reserve the right to end this listing at anytime should the vehicle no longer be available for sale. Sold by Porsche Enthusiast w/ 100% feed back! This Porsche is a crazy head-turner!!! Get ready for some fun! 1989 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 with 959 Porsche modified Body kit.Bowing in late 1988 for the '89 model year, the Porsche Carrera 4 -- "4" for four-wheel drive -- looked like most any recent 911 except for smoother bumpers and side sills. But appearances here deceived more than usual.As a direct descendant of the awe-inspiring twin-turbo 959, the "C4" was nothing less than the vanguard for what amounted to a second-generation 911 design. Indeed, it was developed as a separate program, Project 964, and was said to be 85 percent new.That it was, starting with a unique floorpan shaped to smooth airflow beneath the car, plus 959-inspired all-round coil springs with integrated tubular shocks (albeit one per wheel). Rear semi-trailing arms and front struts on lower wishbones continued.A bore-and-stroke job -- to 100 mm/3.94 inches × 76.5 mm/3.01 inches -- took the production 911's normally aspirated air-cooled flat-six from 3.2 to 3.6 liters. Engineers also applied reshaped combustion chambers, revised intake manifolds, twin-plug ignition, and ultra-high 11.3:1 compression.In American-market trim, the Carrera 4 produced 247 horsepower at 6,100 rpm -- a gain of 34, and less than 40 shy of the vaunted Turbo -- plus 228 pound-feet of torque at 4,800 rpm. Rolling stock was upsized to suit: 16-inch Bridgestone RE71s, as on the 959. The C4 tires were more modestly sized at 205/55 fore and 225/50 aft but had the higher Z speed rating (good for 150 mph and up).But, of course, the big attraction was the all-wheel drive that made the Porsche Carrera 4 what one reviewer termed a "people's 959." To be sure, it was drastically simpler than the Porsche 959 system, but that only helped to hold initial retail price to "just" $69,500, a huge saving over the $225,000 it took to buy a 959 -- when you could get one. I currently have a collections of cars. I hate to sell this FANTASTIC car - but I rarely, if ever, drive this vehicle. Hopefully someone who can really appreciate the engineering of this vehicle will give this AWESOME CAR a new home!!! This Porsche 911 comes with modified and custom parts throughout and is in excellent shape. It's equipped with the best and has just been recently serviced. I bought this car from High-end exotic dealership in Washington. The State of Washington has funny laws about legal or modified body kits on vehicles. Due to the reinforce fiberglass body the car has a rebuilt salvage title that was issued from Washington. I have never had in problems with this car and have a certificate of title in hand! This car was a show car and has been in various media publications. Although not flawless, the paint and fiberglass is still in good shape! A little polish will leave the existing paint looking even better! I have repainted the repaired some minor fiberglass pieces but the car still looks outstanding! Check out the pictures for yourself! One last thing- It runs great and everybody stops to ask me about it! This car is a major head-turner!!! Enjoy!!! Ps- I will also- be selling my Hummer 1 and F430! E-mail me with any questions - Purchaser must arrange his or her own shipping!
