This 1986 Porsche 911 Carrera cabriolet is a Rest-of-World example that was imported to the United States in 1986 and spent time in Texas before being acquired by the seller in 1991. The car is finished in black over burgundy leather, and power is provided by a 3.2-liter flat-six paired with a five-speed manual transaxle. Equipment includes a replacement black soft top, fog lights, European-specification headlights, 17″ Cup wheels, dual exhaust outlets, power-adjustable front sport seats, and an aftermarket CD stereo. An engine-out service in April 2021 included a valve adjustment and replacement of the spark plugs, drive belts, valve cover gaskets, and more as detailed below.
The body is finished in black (A1) and features integrated front fog lights, European-specification headlights, side markers, European-market rear bumperettes, a rear fog light, dual exhaust outlets, and a black soft top that was reportedly replaced in the 1990s. The engine lid is said to have been replaced due to accident damage in 2009, and the seller notes paint chips on the inside edge of the right rear quarter panel.
Replacement 17″ Cup wheels wear 205/50 front and 255/40 rear Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 tires mounted in April 2021. The left front brake caliper was rebuilt and the brake fluid was changed at the same time.

Equipment includes electric windows and an Eclipse CD stereo connected to aftermarket speakers. The air conditioning is inoperative, and noted flaws include wear on the steering wheel rim and on the left side of the dashboard, left-side driver’s seat bolster, and right-side passenger’s seat bolster. Both horns were replaced in April 2021.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 170-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 6,300-rpm redline, an analog clock, and gauges for fuel level, oil level, oil temperature, and oil pressure. The six-digit odometer shows 73k miles,
The 3.2-liter flat-six sends power to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transaxle. An engine-out service in April 2021 included repair of the fuse panel wiring, a valve adjustment, an oil change, and replacement of the following components:
