classic looks �€"Porsche Club of America Model Guide, Tony Callas
and Tom Prine The PCA model-resource site continued: Porsche's
964-generation 911 made its public debut at the Paris Motor Show on
September 28, 1988, and was sold starting in the 1989 model year.
Though in many ways the 964 looked like a slight evolution of 911s
past, Porsche in fact significantly modernized the premium,
rear-engined sports car. There was no mistaking the longstanding
911 shape, yet the 964 was strikingly different. Large polyurethane
front and rear bumpers were the obvious exterior styling changes.
Additionally, the five-spoke Fuchs wheels that had been synonymous
with the Porsche 911 were now gone.... Once you were past these two
major styling changes, there was a lot more to take in. The 964
used a completely different chassis, fully derived from the 959
supercar.... The car was equipped with antilock brakes, coil-over
suspension instead of torsion bars, and power steering for the
first time in a 911, all as standard equipment. The all-new 964
housed a never-before-seen 3.6-liter air-cooled flat-six engine
that made 247 horsepower, managed by a Bosch fully sequential fuel
injection system with a 55-pin DME (Engine Management Computer) and
much quicker processing power. This new management system was
capable of bidirectional communication and fault-code diagnostics
when connected to the then-new Bosch 'Hammer' diagnostic tool.
Porsche's commitment to continued improvement of its designs and
features saw a number of key changes for the 964 series including:
Dual-ignition (twin spark plug), except turbo Stronger engine case
New, larger catalytic converter (metal substrate) Upgraded engine
oiling (cooling) system Polyurethane fuel tank Redesigned chassis
ventilation and HVAC systems Rear wing motorized and computer
controlled Computerized, backlit dashboard instruments/gauges
Central electronic fuse panel moved to right rear area of front
trunk Considerably larger alternator fitted Valves and camshafts
are adjustable (unlike with successor �€" the 993) Vibration damper
integrated into crankshaft pulley Exhaust ports ceramic-lined
Engine knock sensors fitted Updated timing chain rail design Oil
reservoir mounted ahead of right-rear wheelhouse, first time since
1972 911 First 911 with a throttle cable First 911 fitted with
wheelhouse liners Central informer for instruments and safety
warnings, i.e., the gauge cluster warning lights that illuminate
when the ignition is turned on The 1991 911 Carrera Cabriolet
offered here benefitted from all these improvements, one reason why
the 964 series cars (which only appeared from 1989-1994) are so
highly prized. Michigan-owned since 2005 by the principal of a
local, highly respected European-automobile repair shop, this Grand
Prix white-over black 964-series Cabriolet has been properly
maintained over the years by its two owners since new. This
properly maintained 964 just had the following service done in July
of 2020: - New Clutch - New Flyw
