1994 Porsche 964 Turbo 3.6 S

OVERVIEW

1994 Porsche 964 Turbo 3.6 S
VIN: WP0AC2967RS480408

This is one of the 17 'US market only' 964 Turbo 3.6 S built by Porsche, also know as the 'USA Package’ car. Essentially the 'Package' car is a Flachbau without the flatnose. It is designated as a Turbo S Model (option code '36S') ordered without the code X85 (Turbo 'Flatnose Package') option. Although reminiscent of the 1992 Turbo 3.3 S of which there were 86 built, the 1994 Porsche 964 Turbo 3.6 S it is one of the rarest production Porsches with only 17 cars ever built.

Completed by the Porsche factory on 11/9/1993, this extremely rare 964 Turbo 3.6 S was originally purchased by John DiGirolamo at Auto Strasse in Quebec, Canada on June 3rd 1994. 480408 has the rare option code 740 which identifies it as an exhibition vehicle, or in other words, a show car. This explains how a 'US market only' car was originally sold in Canada, and its delay before being sold, as it would have toured regional car shows.

Segal Motorcar in Concord, Ontario would purchase the car in 2000 with around 6,043 miles. They would keep the car on static display until March 2003 when it would be purchased and brought to the US by its new owner. That owner would keep the car in storage until it was purchased by Canepa.

Since arriving at Canepa the 3.6S has received a thorough mechanical inspection and servicing. While this is an immaculate, low mileage car, as with any vehicle that has remained static for long periods of time some systems will need attention to bring the car back up to road going condition. The fuel system has been rebuilt from fuel injectors to fuel tank. The A/C system was gone through from compressor to condenser. New tires were fitted. In fact, every system was addressed to insure that the 3.6S runs as good as it looks. Speaking of looks, the 3.6S has received over 100 hours of meticulous detail work bringing all of the original finishes and surfaces up to concours winning levels.

Rightly held as one of the best handling and most powerful air-cooled 911s ever constructed, this example of the 3.6S is certainly one of finest available anywhere. Of course being one of only 17 ever built, finding another one may be a challenge in itself.
