The long-awaited successor to the "G-Series" Porsche 911 debuted in
1989 in four-wheel-drive Carrera 4 form, wearing new sculpted
bumpers and Porsche declaring it "85 percent new." Offered in three
different body styles (Coupe, Targa, and Cabriolet) and in
rear-wheel-drive configuration by 1990, the highly desirable
open-topped Carrera 4 Cabriolet was the costliest, retailing for
just over $80,000. All normally-aspirated 911s featured Porsche's
world-famous 3.6-liter flat six. With its smooth, steady power
delivery and raspy engine note, it produced a healthy 247
horsepower and 229 lb-ft of torque. Naturally, the automotive press
was enamored with its superior tractability, with Car and Driver
writing "Overall, the Carrera 4 possesses the kind of
near-supernatural stability first shown by the 959, allowing you to
drive fantastically hard without feeling like you're flirting with
disaster."
This exceptionally well-preserved U.S.-market 1991 Porsche 911
Carrera 4 Cabriolet was completed at the factory on 30 January
1991, finished in Black Metallic over a Black soft top and Light
Grey leather interior. The car was equipped from the factory with a
five-speed manual transmission, a radio with cassette player,
amplifier system, and cruise control as documented by its digital
Porsche Certificate of Authenticity. Furthermore, the car is noted
to retain its original, matching-numbers engine and transmission
corresponding with its CoA. The Cabriolet was initially delivered
to Autohaus Fortense of Forsyth, Illinois, with a digital copy its
original window sticker showing a sticker price when new of
$83,576. The first owner would maintain the car for an impressive
16-year period until 2007, accumulating less than 15,000 miles
while being regularly serviced.
The accompanying clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report indicates that
the Porsche remained in Illinois under new ownership for over a
decade, with subsequent registration in Pennsylvania and Nevada.
Now offered with just 15,600 miles -fewer than 1,000 miles since
its last maintenance booklet stamping in 2007-this Carrera 4
Cabriolet's wonderful preservation is evidenced by its pristine
Special Order factory Black Metallic paintwork and beautifully
preserved Light Grey hides
