In 1986, the unmistakable silhouette of the 911 Turbo made its
return to North American shores following a six-year absence,
simultaneously adding Targa and Cabriolet variants to its lineup.
Sales of the 930 continued for a further three years before making
way for the new 964-generation 911, the famous "G-body" reaching
its zenith in 1989 as the first and only model year to be equipped
with the Getrag G50 five-speed manual transmission.
Offered from the final year of G-body Turbo production, this 1989
Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet is one of the most visceral and coveted
supercars of the 1980s, with examples as well-preserved as this
harder to find by the day. Completed on 10 May 1988, the Turbo left
the factory finished in Grand Prix White over Velvet Red Special
Leather with a Black dashboard and was well-appointed with options
including a steering wheel with raised hub, tonneau cover, heated
driver's seat, Blaupunkt Reno radio, limited slip differential,
short gear shift lever, wheel centers in Grand Prix White, sport
seats with electric height adjustment, amplifier system, deleted
rear model designation, and a luggage compartment trimmed in Black
Velour.
This highly optioned Turbo was purchased by its long-time original
owner through Bo Willis Porsche in Macon, Georgia. Until 2021, the
car remained on its Manufacturer's Statement of Origin (MSO), never
being titled or registered by its original private owner until it
was purchased by the consignor as supported by the CARFAX Vehicle
History Report. In September 2023, the Turbo received a
comprehensive service courtesy of Steinel's Autowerks in Twinsburg,
Ohio to address its modest use, which included an oil and filter
change, brake fluid change, conversion to R134 refrigerant, as well
as mounting and balancing four new Pirelli P Zero Rosso tires.
Today, the car shows just 4,556 original miles and remains an
exceptionally preserved time-capsule example owing to the careful
stewardship of its only private owner.
Infamously known by enthusiasts as the "Widowmaker," the 911 Turbo
was Porsche's first out-and-out supercar and was as fast as it was
demanding to drive. This final-model-year example with its
wonderful factory specification, extremely low mileage, and factory
documentation including its Porsche-issued CoA and a copy of its
MSO, would make it a worthwhile addition to any collection and is
deserving of the model's legendary supercar status. The offering
comes complete with the car's original books, tool kit, spare wheel
and tire, tire inflator, tonneau cover, and convertible boot.
