1987 Porsche Carrera Cabriolet G50 Introducing this 1987 Porsche
Carrera Cabriolet G50, a matching-numbers example finished in its
special-order factory color of Espresso Brown Metallic (40D) over a
Mahogany interior. This rare and sophisticated color combination
gives the car a classic, understated presence that stands apart
from more common specifications, offering timeless appeal without
trying too hard.Owned long-term for 25 years, this Carrera reflects
careful stewardship and consistent investment over time. Power
comes from the legendary air-cooled 3.2-liter flat-six paired with
the highly desirable G50 5-speed manual transmission. As a
historical note, 1987 marked the first year of the G50 gearbox,
which introduced a hydraulic clutch - delivering smoother
engagement and improved drivability compared to earlier 915
transmissions, making these later Carreras especially sought after
by enthusiasts.Highlights:- Long-Term Ownership: 25 Years- Factory
