This 1988 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet was purchased by its current owner in April 2008. Since then, approximately 11,000 of the total 105,000 miles shown on the odometer have been added.
The car is finished in Lagoon Green Metallic with a complementary blue soft top and Marine Blue leather interior. It is powered by a 3.2-liter flat-six engine paired with a G50 five-speed manual transaxle, delivering an engaging and authentic driving experience.
**Exterior and Wheels**
This Carrera Cabriolet features 16″ Fuchs alloy wheels with painted Porsche crest center caps, fitted with Continental ExtremeContact tires bearing date codes from 2013 and 2014. The exterior is further enhanced by a rear spoiler, integrated fog lights, power-adjustable side mirrors, and a convertible top boot. Braking is managed by four-wheel discs, with the front brake calipers rebuilt and rear calipers replaced in September 2013 at 102,000 miles.
**Interior and Amenities**
Inside, the cabin offers power-adjustable front seats upholstered in Marine Blue leather, although the driver’s seat shows a popped seam on the lower cushion. Additional features include a three-spoke steering wheel, central locking, power windows, and Porsche-script floor mats. The dashboard houses VDO instrumentation, including a central tachometer with a 6,300 rpm redline, a 170 mph speedometer, a quartz clock, and gauges for oil pressure, oil temperature, and fuel level (note: the oil-level gauge is not functioning).
Entertainment is provided by a JVC CD stereo equipped with Bluetooth connectivity, satellite radio capability, and a USB input, combining modern convenience with classic Porsche style. The air conditioning system has been converted to utilize R134a refrigerant; however, it does not currently blow cold, and the seller recommends a recharge.
**Mechanical and Maintenance History**
The 3.2-liter M930/25 flat-six engine, featuring Bosch Motronic engine management, was factory-rated at 217 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. A K&N air intake filter has been installed for improved airflow. Key maintenance performed includes replacement of the DME, fuel filter, crankshaft position sensor, and spark plugs in September 2016 at 104,000 miles. The oil was last changed in September 2025, with results from a recent leak-down test available in the gallery.
The drivetrain features a robust G50 five-speed manual transaxle delivering power to the rear wheels. The clutch, pressure plate, throw-out bearing, and pilot bearing were replaced in September 2013 at 102,000 miles, ensuring solid clutch engagement.
**Documentation and Additional Items**
This Porsche comes with a Certificate of Authenticity confirming a build date of March 9, 1988, along with identification numbers, color details, and factory options. Included in the sale are the removed steering wheel, a comprehensive shop manual, owner’s manuals, service records, a tool kit, and a black Porsche crest-embossed front end protector.
The Carfax report confirms a clean history with no accidents or reported damage. The car holds a clean Connecticut title and is being offered by the seller on behalf of their spouse.
