The 964 chassis Porsche 911 has rapidly become one of the most sought-after in collector communities, a return to favor after many years out in the wilderness. From depletion of inventory thanks to a rampant resto-modding craze that uses the 964 as a carcass for extensive modifications to years of low values likely causing numerous cars to be totaled or parted out, finding a clean 911 from the early 90s is not as easy as it once was. This 1991 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 listed here on craigslist presents well with slightly higher miles but strong evidence of being cared for while still being driven.

I can still remember sometime around 2010 talking to my mechanic who had practically grown up racing old Porsches that were considered throwaway cars at the time and asking him what his opinion was of the 964. He flat out didn’t like this era of 911, citing how the 993 was far superior (in reality, it probably is) and that the four-wheel drive system added unnecessary complexity. His sentiments were reinforced by a market that, at the time, didn’t particularly value the 964, which is why companies like Singer began buying every example they could get their hands on. These days, the mood has shifted, and many look at the 964 as being the final era that combines traditional 911 styling with modern driving dynamics.

The cabin isn’t all that different from a 993, so don’t think stepping up to a newer era of 911 is going to usher in all sorts of modern conveniences. The seller’s car has 124,500 miles on the clock, a detail we love seeing on cars that were meant to be driven, but the mileage hasn’t taken a major toll on the cosmetics. The gray leather still presents quite well, and the sames goes for the carpets and door panels. The matching gray dash shows no signs of cracking. It’s also worth noting that the outside shows side marker lenses that are typically associated with European market examples, and the desirable “Aero” side-view mirrors, which mimic the style found on the later 993.

The back seat appears to be unused, and the seller notes that the near-mint exterior appearance can be attributed to a respray in the car’s factory colors. The seller has owned it for the last 14 years, and that length of ownership hopefully indicates that the seller has kept up with annual maintenance. However, one of the best things you can do is to actually drive these cars, as sitting is what causes them to develop issues. With 247 horsepower and 228 lb-ft of torque channeled through all four wheels, you’re only depriving yourself if it just sits in your garage. Thanks to Barn Finds reader Mitchell G. for the find.
