The Original Rush of a Porsche

Owner and Photographer: Gary Reed

Year, Make, and Model: 1991 Porsche 911 Convertible (964)

Location: Seattle, Washington, USA

Photographer: Curtis Cosens

Gary Reed fell in love with cars as a child playing with his slot-car race set and since then his passion has only grown. He started driving sports cars as a seventeen-year-old and hasn’t wavered since. He was lucky enough to find this all-wheel drive ’91 Porsche 964 Convertible in the local Porsche Club classified ads, about a year ago. The car was down in Oregon but Gary made the trip down and bought it immediately due to its originality.

The 911 was in amazing shape, featuring only 37,000 original miles, and included everything that it did when it was first sold new, including the window sticker and even a packet of disposable gloves intended for roadside emergencies. Additionally, it’s completely stock and has never been altered or modified.

This particular example is Grand Prix White and comes with a light grey leather interior, optional Cobalt Blue piping, stitching, dash, steering wheel, and rugs. It also includes many options, even a factory CD player.

Over the last dozen years, Gary has owned multiple Ferrari (including the 550 Maranello pictured below), Porsche, Fiat, and Alfa Romeo sports cars but has no plans to get rid of this one as he loves driving it on sunny back roads with the top down. He simply enjoys the rush of driving a Porsche convertible.

Nice cab with a unique color combo. I see just like my 964 and many others the front bumper has scraped and been pushed up. Hard to avoid.

Wow, what a beautiful car. I have seen a lot of 964s (which is my favourite) but not very often such a nice combination of interiour colour!! Enjoy it, it’s really a beauty! 🙂

Beautiful narrow-bodied 964, to me still one of the more underrated 911s. Keep taking care of this nice low-milage example 🙂

The 964 has always been one of my favorites. Lovely vehicle!
