This 964 C2 is the still hand-built, analogue, air-cooled 911 in its original silhouette, with a narrow body.
Just a lot lighter and sportier, which makes it a really impressive driving experience in an exciting way. But still, not as hard and uncompromisingly racing (like the 964 RS).
964 Connoisseurs immediately sense that a truly unique creation has been created here, which constantly demands to be driven and appreciated by those who understand how extraordinary it is. It is addictive, driving becomes a drug.
Not driving it, just looking at it and admiring it, that's not possible with it! Far too good to disappear into a collection.
My "perfect 964" is characterized by the following features,
- Carrera 2 Coupe (RWD) as 2 seater (rear seats removed) with Recaro Pole Position seats, Clubsport steering wheel, wooden gearshift, RS carpet, RS door panels
- with heating, electric sunroof and air conditioning to ensure daily driver comfort all year round
- Nevertheless, weight reduction > 80 kg compared to series by removing seats, airbag steering wheel, panels, insulation, rear wiper, trunk carpet, additional heating, center silencer, bumper support, fog lights, immobilizer
- Performance increase to approx. 290 hp with sporty sound through modified intake, exhaust system and engine control unit with tuning on performance test bench
- Sporty, dynamic tuning of the drive train (sports clutch / single-mass flywheel / shortened gearshift / synchro. gearbox / GT 3 limited-slip differential)
- Modern adjustable sports suspension (KW V3 Clubsport), strut brace, stabilizers, harder bearings/bushings, with tuning for winding country roads
- Large brake (964 RS) with steel braided lines and adapters
- Cup rims and tires (3-piece, 18 inch Speedline, rim star in car color, custom-made)
- Interior very sporty for ergonomically perfect sitting, steering, shifting (with focus on haptics at touchpoints, steering hub and gear lever extension, adapted pedals)
- Elegant interior in retro style with enough remaining comfort on longer journeys for 2 people (air conditioning, ESD, leather, Alcantara, Porsche Classic Radio, navigation,…)
- deliberately NOT a track tool but a mountain tool, therefore no roll bar
- and of course beautiful looks, breathtaking driving (although still/only the original 3.6L engine is installed)
It's a bit like if Porsche had come up with a GT 3 Touring based on the 964 (back then it would probably have been called the 964 Club Sport).
My basis is a 964 Carrera 2, model year 1992 (NS series with already many improvements), in the color Night Blue Metallic L37W, interior originally light gray TS
C00 German model
327 Radio Synphonie RDS
425 Rear wiper
567 Upper windshield green
573 Automatic air conditioning
650 Electric sunroof
The complete history is available and documented. The vehicle was always registered in Germany and was only serviced by specialist Porsche workshops.
Original letter, folder with warranty service booklet, tools, spare wheel, compressor, 2+1 keys, TÜV reports and invoices, everything is there.
I bought the vehicle in 2022 from the previous owner with mileage of 199,744 in its original delivery condition. He himself bought the vehicle in 2002 with 137,000 km and looked after it lovingly for 20 years. In the last 8 years from 2014 to 2022, however, for health reasons, it has only driven an average of 1,500 km / year with a seasonal license plate on long distances in the summer. It was always parked in a heated garage and showed no rust, not even in the critical areas of the 964. The paintwork is perfect, with very few stone chips.
The excellent impression was confirmed when the vehicle was completely dismantled before conversion (engine, gearbox, brakes, chassis and also tank as well as the entire interior were removed to ensure that the base is also free of corrosion in the critical 964 places). Even the usual dry ice blasting of the underbody could be dispensed with this time. The original seal was retained.
The conversion to its current condition took place between 2022 and 2024. Changes have been approved by the TÜV (§21) and confirmed as contemporary correct (§23). The vehicle is therefore approved for an H license plate (recognized as a historic vehicle / vintage car) in Germany.
The conversion is too extensive to present here. It was supervised by experts and is fully documented in a detailed appraisal report, which can of course be viewed. A complete repaint was deliberately avoided in order to preserve as much of the original paint as possible. The few stone chips are borne with dignity.

A birth certificate can be issued on request to confirm matching numbers.
A second set of leather seat cushions to make the interior completely black is also available (photos at the end of the gallery) as is some of the original parts (marked in red) that were removed to reduce weight. Both are included in the purchase price.
Since the conversion / complete refresh, around 23,000 km have been driven. Only in good weather!
This 964 shows once again in an impressive way that
the whole is more than the sum of its parts!
Modified like this is impressively better and is just so much more fun!
