Who is this for?

If you’re looking at used Porsche 964s and wondering what it actually costs to bring one to a “fuel, key, go anywhere” level, this is the video we wish we’d had 10 years ago.

We walk through all systems – from the initial inspection, heating & AC, suspension, brakes, engine & gearbox to paint and interior – and show realistic worst‑case 2026 bands to take a tired 964 from “looks good” to properly sorted.

Picking the right donor vehicle is a separate topic. Here we’re talking about restoration costs that will come up if you want a properly sorted and reliable car.

In this video you’ll see:

  • System‑by‑system worst‑case 2025 restoration bands for a tired 964 (paint, interior, suspension, engine, heating & AC, etc) - based on our actual internal numbers.

  • How those add up for a Rolling Restoration vs Full Build, and why “just driving” doesn’t work for us.

Cost Map FAQ

  • No. The bands here are for naturally aspirated narrow-body 964s (Carrera 2/4). Factory Turbos typically sit well above these ranges; we treat them case by case.

    Turbo 3.6s, factory WTLs & other special models share certain systems but will have either a higher donor price, higher parts prices or both.

  • No – they’re realistic worst‑case bands built from our parts costs and workshop time in 2025. Specific cars can be lower (if they’re better than the tired‑car scenario) or higher (if surprises appear).

  • This video gives you the shape of the cost. For a specific car we’d still need to see it and talk through your use‑case and timeline.
