5 Reasons I Sold My Insanely Rare Porsche 964

19The Porsche 964 is arguably the most desired air cooled Porsche, yet I just sold my insanely rare unicorn ‘92 C2 coupe in Amazon Green less than 1 year after buying it. Am I nuts?

Maybe. But maybe not.

In this video I lay out my personal reasoning for selling this gorgeous Porsche 964. The good news is I found a buyer within 2 days. The bad news is I am quite nervous that I will HIGHLY regret selling this iconic Classic Porsche 911.

As a engineer who works at Porsche Stuttgart, I most deffinately can say NONE of the reasons mentioned in this video are valid. I do own Carrera 4 964 and its a daily driver for me. Also he says the car is not drivable per say, I 100% disaggree with him. I mean if you are not gonna drive it, what'll you do with it ? These cars are specifically designed to be driven. I drive mine every day and its just AWESOME.

Life forced me to sell my 993 and 964, I really could have kept 1 of them but decided to liquidate, and despite the sentiment in most of the comments I miss the 964 more than the 993. Still would love to have either one back. Oh well perhaps one day !!

[Abrothers]

Makes total sense. I had a feeling you wouldn’t keep in long since the interior was so perfect it becomes stressful. I think adding a long hood will round out your collection and balance the driving experiences. I have a 2007 997 coupe, 84 911 targa, a 63 356b coupe, and an 87 Ferrari 328 gts. I think I’ve settled on the driving experiences I like and will likely keep them for a long time. The only change I could see making is dropping the 997 and replacing it with an 86-89 911 turbo. Love your content and hope to one day cruise up to NC. I’m out in the country in outside of Atlanta. Love the roads in NC, lived in Hendersonville in the mid 90s for a year.

I worked at a Porsche dealer during the transitional times from the last G-bodies to the early 993s. I was lucky enough to have sampled many variants of all models. I loved them all. The 964 felt like a modernized, hot-rodded g-body. In terms of performance and design, the 964 is a transitional model. I think most people like the looks of G-bodies and 993s over 964s, and their values will reflect that in the future. The 993 was a giant leap in handling and performance, and I wish it stuck around longer.

[PoochieLue]

I let out a big “awe man, he’s selling the car” when I saw the title of this video. As a 993 owner I would agree with your decision though. Best of luck!

[homefink]

I'm sure in long terms you will miss it. But I understand your point of view, cause I went the same road down. The 993 and the 964 are very similar to drive. In my collecting I have now more variaty. A Targa, a turbo and a coupe from different eras of the 911. So I enjoy every ride and every car with different experiences. Looking forward to your next 911 family member😀

[andrewstevenson]

964 in that condition is The Holy Grail....I'd have sold the other two, the house and the wife if necessary!

[marklawrence]

Great honest comments, I wish I had the amount of blue skies that you have ! 😅

[jameseli]

great to hear your motivations and rational for moving the 964 on. Good luck with your long hood quest. Can't wait to hear what you find out there.

[razorworks]

Sad to see it leave the channel, but your rationale makes sense. Best of luck with the search for a long hood!

[jonwarshawsky]

I’m not totally surprised. The 964 and 993 are essentially of the same era, and the 1973 911T I drove was definitely vintage- more akin to my 356. Also glad you opted not to modify the 964, because they have become increasingly difficult to find stock. I have a ‘93 C2 and I somewhat prefer it to my ex-‘96 993, but unless you’re opening a museum there’s not much of a rationale for having both. That said… the long hood 911s are occasional/weekend cars. You can rebuild for more power and add a/c, but the handling and braking are decades behind your 964. They are beautiful cars, though!

[mikenorthern]

Will, I was shocked to hear but not surprised at all. I completely get the different driving experiences thing. I’m in the early stages of building a Porsche history theme different driving model collection as well. Starting with 356, to long hood 911, 914 tribute, g-body Carrera, 930 and 964 variant. Looking for the pure different driving experience that each model offers. All are in different stages and over the next 5 years hope to be able to experience them for what each model represents and how different they drive. So I completely understand your decision!! I believe we are caretakers along the way and your 964 was cared for by you and now it’s time for it’s next journey! Thanks for video.

[jeffryrosen]

I completely agree with your decision. They are meant to be driven and enjoyed.

[j.d.]

Wise choice. It has been been a problem-plagued money pit. Purposely steered around the 964 for this reason and went with a 993.

[yaserkhamis]

I’m new to all this and I love the shape of a 964 the most. But all the reasons make perfect sense. Good luck doing your thing

[yveee]

As a Swiss person, it makes no sense to me to own a car you're not willing to drive. A 964 was built to be driven; no one designed this car for people in the States who just want to make money off it.

[Craaaaabs]

Sad to see! Beautiful color and fantastic match with the interior

[jackpalczynski]

I have what I think would have been an obvious alternative to selling that beautiful 964. Another 4 post lift. Not expensive and brings room for a 4th one in the garage. You can then get a long hood car and if you really wanted to, and I'd consider, take the 964 only to shows and cars n coffee. Too late now, but seemed obvious to me.

[Gavin-oqtt]

Thanks for sharing. It is a beautiful car, but totally understand why you may be looking for that different driving experience. The new owner is very lucky!

[jibmaster]

Thanks for sharing the journey. She will be missed! Good look on your search for the next chapter in your ownership experience. Can't wait to see the videos of that when it happens.
