Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet 3.2 Liter H6 1987
General description :
Description
This 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet has everything you like about the legend: unique style, premium flair, and a smooth feeling of a freshly serviced air-cooled flat six. So when you can get that on a drop-top with low miles and a distinct color package, you realize this is the pretty Porsche of your dreams.
The factory-correct Venetian Blue proves a Porsche doesn't have to be red to make a bold statement. It has the high level of luster you'd expect from a well-respected classic. In fact, this low-mileage example has been under the same care for two decades. So you can just tell the preserved and sleek lines of a classic that spent more time being admired in the garage than it even did running daily errands. We also love this for more than just the distinct blue. There's a well-coordinated tasteful black all around the car that includes the crisp convertible top, clean bumper trim, door handles, and rear grille that's a hallmark of these air-cooled 911s. And of course, the best classic Porsches get the black Fuchs 16-inch wheels.
Because the black trim looks so great against the exterior, when you take the top down, you get a full black interior. And with the black soft tonneau in place, this one has a coordinated look that gives an added sophistication to this premium Porsche. The low mileage also helps with this well-preserved total impression. You sit down in the German engineered bucket seat finished in a supple leather. Ahead of you is the classic four-spoke sports wheel that has a flat design to give you a clear view to the gauges. The VDO readouts remains crisp and clear, and the central tach is a grand tradition from Porsche's competition cars. While this 911 is obviously a driver's car, it doesn't skip on comfortable features. This includes power windows, power locks, bolstered seats, cruise control, an upgraded Blaupunkt AM/FM/CD stereo, and provisions for factory air conditioning (will need servicing to full blow cold again.) And while a convertible is great for putting the wind in your hair, this one shows its premium side again with the optional rear wind deflector.
Lift the rear hatch, and see the best part of any 911. This is the correct 3.2-liter flat-six motor, and the long-term owner believes this is all original. It has an outstanding reputation, especially during final production years. This example was recently given a valve job so the owner has been making sure this car ran well. So you get a healthy tune that's also part of the unmistakable air-cooled Porsche sound. In fact, the numbers-matching G50 five-speed transmission is the ideal pairing to really let you take full control of the motor's power and soundtrack. The fully independent sports suspension, four-wheel power disc brakes, and Yokohama AVS tires are all part of a great sports car package that lets you enjoy the Porsche's unique driving experience to the fullest.
The sale comes complete with maintenance records and the owner's manual. This is the distinct, sleek, speedy, and absolutely classic 911 you've been waiting for. So you know you can't let it slip away. Call now!
