1989 | 95-Mile Porsche 911 Speedster
Overview
In 1989, Porsche revived the Speedster nameplate, bringing back a concept originally introduced with the 356 model in the 1950s. The 911 Speedster was created as a limited-production, purist-focused variant, with styling inspired by the iconic 356 Speedster. Built on the 3.2 Carrera platform, the 1989 Speedster was outfitted with distinctive features like the wide rear fenders of the 911 Turbo, a shorter windscreen, and a unique twin-hump fiberglass cover for the retracted soft top, giving it a distinctive low-slung silhouette. This special model was designed to celebrate Porsche’s heritage in open-top driving while incorporating modern performance capabilities.
This 1989 Porsche 911 Speedster is one of just 823 US-market examples produced for that single model year, marking it as a rare and collectible model. Finished in classic Guards Red over Cashmere Beige partial leather, this Speedster is powered by a 3.2-liter flat-six engine paired with a G50 five-speed manual transaxle. Notable equipment includes 16-inch Fuchs alloy wheels, air conditioning, sport seats, power-adjustable seats, and a Blaupunkt cassette player. The car’s signature design elements, including the shortened windscreen and unique rear deck lid, distinguish this model from other 911 variants and make it a highly sought-after collectible in the Porsche world.
Presenting in exceptionally low-mileage condition, this example shows just 95 miles on the odometer. Previously registered in Arizona, North Carolina, and Florida, it now resides with the selling dealer in Indiana, who has added fewer than five miles during their ownership. Included in the sale are accessories such as the battery charger, tool kit, and Porsche air compressor, a hardwired radar detector, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Florida title. This 1989 Porsche 911 Speedster represents an outstanding opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts to own one of the most distinctive and rare air-cooled 911s in excellent condition.
