At the 1987 Frankfurt Motor Show, Porsche revived one of the most charismatic names in its history with the Speedster Studie, previously worn by the most significant open model of the many Type 356 variants. Based on the wide-bodied Turbo Cabriolet shell, though naturally aspirated, the production 1989 Speedster arrived immediately before the new Type 964 and was thus the final 911 to wear the long running "G body." The design incorporated numerous references to the original 356 Speedster, including a shortened, steeply raked windscreen and a pair of distinctive "camel hump" cowlings behind the seats concealing the stowable manual top. In place of rear seats, a carpeted storage compartment sat beneath the fiberglass tonneau. Power came from the Carrera's 3.2-liter flat-six, paired with the Getrag G50 five-speed transmission. Built during 1989 only, just 2,104 Speedsters were completed, of which 825 examples were delivered to the United States.

This Speedster left the factory finished in classic Grand Prix White over a Marine Blue partial leather interior and a Blue soft top, just as it appears today. A copy of the original window sticker documents its well-selected specification, which included air conditioning, cruise control, an alarm system, a steering wheel with raised hub, a shorter gearshift lever, a Blaupunkt Reno radio, left and right seats with electric height adjustment, Grand Prix White-painted Fuchs alloy wheels, and the rear storage compartment in place of rear seats, for a total delivered price of $71,028. In U.S.-market specification, the Bosch-injected engine was rated at 215 horsepower, delivered to the rear wheels through a limited-slip differential.

Entering the country through the port of Charleston, South Carolina, the car was sold new by Reeves Import Motorcars of Tampa, Florida, and delivered on 20 September 1989 to its first owner in St. Petersburg. The original warranty and maintenance booklet accompanies the car, recording the delivery inspection and early services in 1993, by which point the Speedster had moved to Ohio with fewer than 2,500 miles showing. From there, the clean CarFax Vehicle History Report traces ownership through the Midwest and East Coast, with mileage accumulating gradually along the way and reaching 11,710 miles by March 2024, when the car received a service that included fresh fluids, filters, spark plugs, and plug wires. A most recent service carried out in 2026 includes replacement of squealing parking brake shoes, oil change, installation of new wiper blades and hood struts, and fitment of a fresh set of new BF Goodrich tires, as originally fitted to the car per the Porsche Production Specifications sheet.

Remaining in excellent condition and as-delivered livery, the Speedster is accompanied by its original owner's manual, warranty booklet, tool kit, spare wheel, and a copy of the window sticker, and a Porsche Production Specifications sheet. Furthermore, a VIN Analytics report on file confirms that the car's engine and transaxle are the original, matching-numbers units. With 12,110 miles at the time of cataloging, it is among the better-preserved examples of a rare model that closed the chapter of G-body production.
