Air-Cooled Porsche 911 for Sale

About the Air-Cooled

Air-cooled is the era that built the legend. From the long-hood cars of the late 1960s through the impact-bumper G-series, the 964 of the early '90s, and the final 993 of 1998, every 911 was defined by the flat-six bolted behind the rear axle and cooled by nothing but moving air.

Supply tightens every year. The 993 is the last of its kind and has been a collector car for two decades. 964s and earlier G-series cars are appreciated less for performance — modern 911s are vastly faster — and more for the mechanical character: the throttle response of a naturally-aspirated air-cooled engine, the steering feedback, the way the body moves with the road.

Originality matters more here than in any later generation. Matching numbers, an honest service binder, original paint where possible, and unmolested interior trim are the variables that drive value.

What to look for

• Documented service history — top-end work on a 964 or 993 is five-figure money and we'd rather buy a car that already had it done correctly.
• Bodywork honesty — air-cooled cars are old enough that almost every survivor has been touched. We disclose what we know.
• Originality of color and interior — re-sprays and re-trims are reversible but reflected in the price.

Why buy from us

We are an independent Porsche specialist. We're not an authorized dealer, which means we don't have a quota and we don't take in everything that walks through the door. Each air-cooled car we sell has been inspected, sorted, and is ready for the next owner to drive — not a project to finish.
