This example was delivered new in Houston Texas where it resided with its first two owners. In 2003, showing 16,000 miles the car was sold to its second owner and remained in Houston until 2012. In 2014 it was sold to its third owner in Ohio through Marshall Goldman Motors in Cleveland. The car then spent a brief period in Florida before making its way to a collection in Santa Barbara California, where it has resided for the past 9 years. CPR acquired this example from a client who has recently purchased a 911 from us to replace it within his collection.
The car retains all original paint with the exception of the driver’s front fender. In 2012, the car was parked in a dry cleaner parking lot when a BMW 5 series backed into the RS America, very lightly creasing the driver-side front fender. The car was sent to a high-end repair shop in Houston where the left front fender was repaired and repainted. The quality of the repaint is so excellent, that it still meters within factory specifications everywhere, and the factory paint textures were replicated perfectly. Essentially, you can only tell the car has had paint work based on the invoices of the work having been performed. A police report documents the light damage that was sustained in the incident.
The interior is simply perfect and all original. No modifications have been made. The front seats look as if they’ve never been used with no bolster stretching or fraying of any kind. The carpet kit, door panels, dash, and headliner are all in outstanding original condition. All electronics are sorted and function as they should.
RS Americas were minimalistic cars, and this example is no exception. Optioned from the factory as follows:
-Exterior – Black/A1
-Interior – Black Leatherette/Deep Fabric w/ Red Seat Belts
-Air Conditioner w/ Full Climate Control
-Michelin Tires
Mechanically this RSA is well serviced. For the past several years the car has been maintained by Schneider Autohaus of Santa Barbra. Upon arrival at CPR Classic, the car went through a full inspection and was found to be in excellent overall condition. Our findings were limited to a shift linkage bushing replacement, and a new set of tires needed due to age. A set of Michelin tires will be installed before delivery. The undercarriage is in beautiful shape with factory cosmoline throughout, and the car’s belly pans are some of the cleanest we’ve come across. The car is free of any oil leaks, with the engine cover found dry when we removed it. In short, this is a very nice RS America from all standpoints.
The RS America is an inherently rare car that was born out of necessity when Porsche determined that entering the US market with their European model 964 RS was impossible. The net result was one of the fewest produced RS examples in Porsche’s history. Only 701 RS Americas were produced. They sported standard equipment such as the M030 sport suspension package, and have approximately a 90-pound weight reduction over a standard 964 Carrera 2. It offers a much more driver-focused experience that begs for an enthusiast driver.
This 964 RS America offers a wonderful opportunity to own a show-level example of an investment-grade Porsche. If you are in the market for a 964, something unique, or simply a truly special Porsche this particular car is a must-consider example.
