1990 is the second year for the new body style which borrows styling cues from Porsche?s voluptuous supercar, the 959. This was the first official year for the 3.6 litre C2 (Two Wheel Drive) version. The 911 was still offered in 3 body styles, Coupe, Cab and Targa both in two wheel and All-Wheel drive with or without tiptronic. With smoother bumpers, integrated taillights, rocker panels and a wing that pops up at 50 mph plus. The new more aero 964 (As it was known internally) seemed to inspire a new breed of 911 enthusiasts, yet appease the dyed-in-the-wool old Porsche purist as well.

The Guards Red C2 Cabriolet presented here has that 1990 factory brochure look. It is in original survivor condition and has been well preserved. The interior shows signs of minimal ware and factory amenities include air conditioning, power driver and passenger seats, cruise control and the factory Porsche AM/FM CD radio. The top works perfectly and the cloth fabric in great shape. The car has been well maintained, the engine runs smooth and the 5 spd manual shifts nicely up and down through all gears and the tires have plenty of tread life. The beauty of owning a 911 is that you get the visceral response and sound of an air-cooled rear-mounted engine, and as an added bonus you?ll have the unwanted envy of other car enthusiasts.
