Engine No. 64K06295
This exceptional 1989 Porsche 911 Speedster is one of just 823
examples produced for the U.S. market. Finished in Paint-to-Sample
non-metallic Light Yellow (L117)-a heritage color that first
appeared in 1970-its striking hue is perhaps best recognized by
Porsche aficionados as the most popular color with black side
stripes selected on the fabled Carrera 2.7 RS.
The Speedster's original window sticker shows that this stunning
color selection was a $2,134 charge when new and was accompanied by
other factory-specified options such as fully power-adjustable
seats left and right, cruise control, an alarm system, a shorter
gear shift lever, a steering wheel with a raised hub, air
conditioning, and a Blaupunkt Reno cassette stereo. Neatly
completing this specification was a supple Mahogany partial leather
interior with a brown soft top, as well as matching Light Yellow
16-inch Fuchs forged alloy wheels. The new Speedster commanded an
impressive total sticker price of $73,822 when it was sold through
Southpoint WGW Ltd. in Houston, Texas.
The original Warranty & Maintenance booklet notes that the
Speedster was delivered on 14 August 1989. The accompanying clean
CARFAX Vehicle History Report shows initial registrations in
Washington in 1991 and 2001, followed by registration under new
ownership in Los Osos, California, by early 2004. Subsequent
service and inspection records indicate that the car remained in
California until at least 2013, later being registered in Florida
and Montana.
Now offered from the current California-based owner with just
13,017 original miles at cataloging, the car is accompanied by a
copy of its original window sticker, owner's manuals, tool roll,
service gloves, first aid kit, and space-saver spare. Powered by
the venerable 3.2-liter flat-six engine paired with the desirable
G50 five-speed manual transaxle, this Speedster delivers the
quintessential air-cooled Porsche driving experience. Additionally,
in December 2023 at 12,695 miles, it received a thorough servicing
which included replacing the drive belts, mounting four new
Bridgestone Potenza Sport tires, brake flush service, fuel filter
replacement and tank flush, new spark plugs, injectors, and
O-rings, along with an oil change.
As a preservation-grade Paint-to-Sample example with low mileage
and recent paint meter readings confirming it retains its factory
Light Yellow finish, this 911 Speedster would make a unique
addition to any collection of air-cooled Porsches with absolute
rarity as its aim.
