Porsche 911 Turbo Carrera Convertible 2-door on 2040-cars

1989 was the last year of the 930, and the only year that the G50 5-speed transmission was offered. This was a feature “dream car” at the 2008 Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction, and purchased by the current owner in 2009. Overall a very special car.

Please contact me with any questions. I have over 150 high resolution photos, an Excel file summarizing maintenance records, scans of the Gretzky certificate of authenticity, and scans from the Barrett Jackson Scottsdale sale in 2008. Please note that I am selling this car for a client, I will facilitate the final transaction between the buyer and seller. Exterior: Exceptional condition, showing only light wear from being sparingly driven. This 930 presents as exactly what it is – a car that has been lovingly enthusiast maintained, garaged, and driven for pleasure only. Overall a very striking car, its aggressive stance set off by the color matched Ruf wheels. Paint is in exceptional condition and has been professionally detailed, overall beautiful and glossy with a deep shine. No signs of prior paintwork. No dents or dings, the body is very straight. All of the exterior black components are still fully black, including fade-prone items like the window trim, door handles, wiper arms, and bumper smile. Excellent glass with only light pitting in the windshield. The plastic convertible top rear window has no fogging and easily zips into place. The original full power top works correctly, is still fully black in color with no fade, and shows only light wear. Overall it is an exceptionally well loved 930. Interior: Again consistent with the life of a pleasure car, the interior is very clean with light wear consistent with the mileage. Making this special car even more distinctive is the passenger side sunvisor, signed by the original owner, Wayne Gretzky. All documentation is included to substantiate this autograph including the original request letter, certificate of authenticity from Gretzky Enterprises, and hologram authenticity sticker on the sunvisor. All original with the exception of the steering wheel, shift knob, and audio. The sport seats are a fantastic option, far better bolstering than the standard seats while still remaining comfortable. Every feature works with the exception of one power seat motor, including the seats, mirrors, windows, radio, lights, HVAC fans, cigarette lighter, emergency flashers, power locks, wiper blades, washer pump, and convertible top. Overall clean original carpet with light wear to the nap. Leather is still soft and supple with light dye wear, as is common for light colored leather. No tears, splits, or cracking in the leather. Leather door panels are in excellent shape with only light wear on the arm rests, the door cubbies still open and close smoothly. Good latching glovebox and no puffy sun visors. Mechanical: Driving this car is a good reminder of why the 930 is so prized, particularly the rare 1989 5-speed models. It is tame when desired but has fantastic power on tap, even by modern standards. The mechanical condition is superb, with a number of service records documenting major recent work like a new clutch, battery, full maintenance, brake and clutch master cylinders, and much more. Maintained with an open checkbook, this car needs nothing. The engine starts easily and smoothly with no smoke, idles smoothly, is strong under boost, and has absolutely no leaks. The hydraulic clutch is smooth and surprisingly light with no slippage. The legendary G50 5-speed transmission quickly shows why these cars are so prized, as it shifts smoothly and easily with no grinding, even when shifting into 1st at a roll. The suspension is very nice and tight without any signs of wear, no pulling, clunks, or signs of worn dampers. Steering is similarly tight and free of vibration, with the legendary feel and feedback that can only be provided by a classic 911. Brakes are strong with a firm pedal, no vibration, and no squeaks. Tires are 9/32” tread front BF Goodrich G-Force T/A and 7/32” tread rear Toyo Proxes S4. Overall it is a nearly flawless package that is fully capable of being driven anywhere. Flaws: I firmly believe in full disclosure when selling cars. I am an enthusiast and have bought a number of cars online, I model my selling on my own buying experiences. I am also incredibly particular about cars, most of the noted flaws are not immediately obvious. On the outside: two very light scratches on the left front fender, both too slight to show up in pictures. Very light rock chips on the hood, front bumper, mirrors, and rear fender flares. One small chip in the front lower spoiler. Crack in the left front foglight lens. The top has several light abrasions on the right side, one slight tear on the left side adjacent to the hinge point, and light fold marks. One missing fastener on the top boot. On the inside: the A/C is no longer blowing cold, it has required periodic charges and is likely due for another. Left seat rear height adjustment motor is not working. Interior carpet overall shows light wear to nap, with light stains on the rear seatbacks and left front mat. Light leather wear to the dye, the leather is still 100% solid and supple. Convertible top headliner has been removed. Front left and rear floor mats show wear. There is a dash cap that has been in place since the purchase. Informed shoppers will know how special this car is. The 1989 930 not only the best of the breed with the 5-speed transmission, but also the last. Making the car even more unique is the documented ownership history by the greatest hockey player of all time. This is an exceptionally well loved and unmolested car, suitable for both driving and investment purposes. As is cliché in collector cars circles, they are only original once.
