Vehicle Description
Opportunities like this one don't present themselves very often.
This 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet is loaded with understated
style and, true to its performance-oriented heritage, is well
configured for grin-inducing performance. Having logged an
unusually low 40,000 miles over its lifespan, it's in its absolute
mechanical prime and has received all the attentive care needed to
look its best.
This coveted droptop is decked out in a classy silver shade that's
in top form, having benefitted from a clean respray only a couple
of years back - there's paperwork included to back it up. Take a
lap around and you'll find no observable blemishes and a recent wax
job has the texture feeling nice and smooth. Because Porsches have
always rolled off the assembly line with maximum visual coolness
already built in, there's generally not much temptation to mess
with their already stellar aesthetics, so it's no surprise that
this mid-'80s specimen remains in its original configuration, with
fresh-looking black trim ornamenting its understated color. While
any sports car enthusiasts would likely picture themselves behind
the wheel of this agile performer with nothing but the blue sky
above them, for those times the weather won't cooperate, a manually
operated black vinyl convertible top stands by for protection. It's
in great shape, sporting a nice, clear rear window and newly
installed seals to keep the elements from intruding.
Inside the doors, years of respectful use have combined with some
selective refurbishment to leave this Porsche in impressive form.
Slide behind the wheel and you'll feel like you've been transported
back in time to intercept this Carrera not long after it left the
showroom. The interior is in downright great condition, with black
leather bucket seats at its center that are ready for miles and
miles of future use as they loom over carpeting punctuated with a
pair of Porsche-branded floor mats that appear to have been
recently replaced. Just beyond a stock steering wheel that looks
like it's been gripped by very few hands, the dash area is another
high point, with crystal clear, functional gauges and a blemish
free dash pad running across the top. The original AM/FM stereo
still provides the soundtrack while you're out on the road, and an
aftermarket climate control system helps ensure your comfort. Like
most everything else on the car, the front storage compartment
appears undisturbed and very much as it did some three decades
ago.
Having logged so few miles, the rear mounted 3.2 liter engine is
running at the top of its game. Porsches are well known to deliver
stellar performance, and this numbers-matching powerplant is no
exception - it pulls with plenty of authority and sounds awesome as
it exhales into its FABSpeed aftermarket exhaust while teaming with
a 5-speed manual transmission that's shifting flawlessly. Precise
power steering combines with a fully independent suspension in both
front and back, as well as that signature Porsche road hugging
stance to arm this iconic sports car with world class handling
abilities, while power disc brakes at all four corners bring it to
a stop with a promptness few other cars can match. You'll find
really clean 16" factory style wheels wrapped with fresh rubber at
all four corners to complete the look of this iconic convertible in
just the right style. Below, the undercarriage is in what would be
considered very clean shape for any car, let alone one that harkens
back more than three decades.
Timeless style, consistent care and exhilarating performance
combine to make this 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet a very rare
find. Call today!
