The earliest service documentation on file dates to January 15, 1991, when Alpina Car Center in Napa, California, serviced the 911 at 6,745 miles to check the charging system and replace the voltage regulator. HiTec Automotive in San Rafael, California, performed the first 15,000-mile service. In 1992, the 911 was purchased by the third owner from Oregon, and the 911 continued to be maintained by local Porsche specialists. By 2025, the 911 was offered to European Collectibles and received a thorough in-house service. The air conditioning system was serviced and converted to R134. Additional work included replacing the front wheel bearings, the brake hoses, the front and rear brake pads, the front and rear rotors, and flushing the brake fluid. A new black German soft top and headliner were installed.

Powered by a 3.2-liter flat six, paired with the highly regarded G50 five-speed manual gearbox introduced to the Carrera range in the later 3.2 cars. This drivetrain combination is known for its strong, usable power delivery and more refined shifting, making the 1987 Carrera particularly rewarding to drive. Accompanied by a full tonneau cover, owner's manual, and 34 years of service history. This Diamond Blue Metallic Cabriolet is a rare original example of Porsche's classic G50 air-cooled open cabriolet.
