In 1984, Porsche introduced the final redesign of the original 911 with the 3.2-liter Carrera. Retaining the iconic "G-Body" silhouette that debuted in 1974, the Carrera featured a newly redesigned 3.2-liter flat-six engine, with 80-percent of its internal components being completely new. This upgrade boosted output to 207 horsepower, allowing the car to accelerate from zero to 60 mph in around 5.5 seconds. The introduction of Bosch Motronic fuel injection, replacing the previous K-Jetronic system, further enhanced engine refinement and reliability. Available in Coupe, Targa, and Cabriolet body styles, the Carrera also came with a range of luxurious standard features, including leather upholstery, air conditioning, and power windows, blending high performance with comfort.

Sold new by George Follmer Porsche of Montclair, California on 7 January 1989, this striking Guards Red 911 Carrera Cabriolet is offered from the final year of 3.2-liter Carrera production. The Cabriolet was optioned with all leather front seats in black, a full power driver's seat, and sport shock absorbers. The CARFAX Vehicle History Report begins in January 1993 at just 14,032 miles when it passed a California emissions inspection. From there, the car went to Nevada with its next owner in April 1995 with just 17,598 miles. It remained in Nevada until its current owner acquired it in May 2018, when it was brought to South Carolina with just over 59,000 miles.

A current paint meter reading conducted in April 2025 reveals the Cabriolet retains its original coat of Guards Red paint. Furthermore, the car benefits from a recent March 2025 inspection and engine oil change performed by Flat Edge Autoworks of Bluffton, South Carolina in preparation for sale. Hailing from the end of an era, this 1989 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet, finished in classic Guards Red, is furnished with its tonneau cover, tools, owner's manual, warranty and maintenance booklet, Blaupunkt radio manual, and service records dating back to new.
