The 1990 Porsche 911

Of course, like the modern Porsche sports cars, this 1990 Porsche 911 has the same mid-engine weight distribution. Under the hood — or rather, the trunk lid — sits a 3.8-liter flat-six salvaged from a Porsche 933 and privately rebuilt, and supported by a six-speed manual transmission to give you just as much enjoyment driving as any newer sports car could. One of the most surprising aspects of this car isn’t the performance, but rather what sits behind the driver — actual back seats.

While it’s debatable whether or not the back seats offer reasonable space for any adult to sit in, it is still another cool feature you might not have expected. The sale listing even claims the vehicle sale includes a matching child’s car seat (though from the photos, it appears to be more of a booster seat).

If you weren’t in love with the idea of owning a classic Porsche, this 1990 Porsche 911 Carrera might just be enough to have you daydreaming, even if you aren’t prepared to put down the substantial bidding price this car will undoubtable sell for.
