You’ve wanted this car since it was on the poster in your room, and now it can be yours. One of 37 wide-body coupes to hit the market in 1988, this Porsche 911 M491 with a 5-speed manual has been owned by the same family since 1996. Engaging and responsive in every respect, values for air-cooled Porsches have appreciated for good reason. The steering has a level of feel that is missing from modern vehicles, particularly those with electronically assisted power steering. The bullet-proof naturally aspirated engine asks for more at any speed in any gear, equally content to run near redline as cruising speeds. The throttle is linear and immediate, and braking capability far exceeds needs on public roads. Add the classic exhaust note, leather smell, and a timeless body design, and there is simply nothing like this car on the road.
Guards red paint is original, and the CarFax confirms no accident or other damage. No alterations have been made to the vehicle during family’s ownership, and everything remains stock to seller’s knowledge. This car comes with maintenance records dating back to 1992, car cover, complete tool set, original manuals, and the title is clean.
Garaged in winters, the exterior is in exquisite condition. All flaws are documented with photos and are unnoticeable except at very close distances. Video of a walk-around is available on YouTube at https://youtu.be/jMksjCT7UHQ. Black interior is essentially in perfect condition. Driver’s seat is in exceptional condition for age of vehicle.
