1990 Porsche 964 Hot Rod
Merit Partners is pleased to present this very cool 964 Hot Rod in silver over black interior. This car was a small departure for us in that we don’t generally represent cars that deviate much from largely stock cars. However, this car came to us from a very good local client so the history was well known and the car is well executed in one of our favorite chassis, the 964. This car is not perfect and still has a few things that need to elevate it visually but it has a good foundation and a lot of the money has already been spent. The interior needs no work as the Singer style Spinney Beck woven leather covers the interior panels and GTS racing seats while the Rothsport shifter ingratiate the driver into the experience creating the feel of a car costing significantly more. The driving experience is among the more memorable experiences we have had even when comparing this car to an actual Singer with the car exhibiting little body roll from the addition of H&R coil-over suspension and having a thrilling exhaust note from the Fabspeed dual exhaust with Sport Cats. The exterior is largely original paint but does need a paint correction and repaint on the hood. Other exterior highlights like the fiberglass duck tail and black Fuch replica wheels give the car a more sporty look and aggressive stance. A few known issues on the car include the occasionally small oil leaks prevalent to the 964 along with some fan squeak/noise when the A/C system blows at certain speeds. The engine idle can be erratic at times as well due to the Steve Wong chip known for producing good power but sometimes struggling with consistent idling.
Overall, the car is an excellent value for the money considering all the time and mods to the car while being a lot of fun to drive. Some of the stock parts are available and a full list of upgrades is listed below:
