1989 Porsche 911 Speedster

The 1989 Porsche 911 Speedster holds a special place in the marque’s history as the spiritual successor to the legendary 356 Speedster, produced for just a single model year and limited to 2,065 examples worldwide, with only 823 allocated to the U.S. market. Built with the distinctive “double-hump” rear tonneau cover, a lower and more steeply raked windshield, and lightweight equipment deletes, the Speedster offered a purist’s take on the 911 Cabriolet. Beneath its iconic Guards Red (G1) exterior lies the proven 3.2-liter flat-six producing 215 horsepower, paired to a five-speed manual transmission with hydraulic clutch and rack-and-pinion steering.

This particular Speedster, completed on June 2, 1989, shows just 7,000 miles from new and is verified by a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity that confirms its original specification: Guards Red over Black partial leather, California Emissions, a Blaupunkt “Reno” radio, a shorter-gear shift lever, and rear luggage compartment in place of rear seats. Additional equipment includes a front valance with integrated fog lights, heated power-adjustable mirrors, and 16-inch Fuchs alloy wheels with hand-painted Porsche crest center caps. It is accompanied by its original window sticker, owner’s manual, tool kit, tire inflation pump, several keys, and the Porsche COA itself—documentation that underscores its provenance and collector value. In preparation for sale, the car recently benefitted from a dry ice blast treatment on the underbody, engine, and wheel wells, a professional paint correction, and the installation of new tires.

Presented today in excellent condition and accompanied by its factory documentation and accessories, this 7k-mile Speedster offers the rare opportunity to acquire one of the most desirable iterations of the air-cooled 911. With its limited production, distinctive styling, and recent preservation work, it embodies both historical significance and lasting driving appeal. This example is equally suited to serve as a highlight in a curated Porsche collection or as a show-ready classic to enjoy on the road.
