This 1987 Porsche 911 Carrera cabriolet is finished in red over tan leather and is powered by a 3.2-liter flat-six paired with a five-speed manual transaxle. Equipment includes a black convertible top, a black boot cover, 16″ alloy wheels, air conditioning, power windows, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel, while modifications include a Blaupunkt stereo, Boston Acoustics speakers, a Fabspeed exhaust system, and Turbo tie rods and engine studs. The car was registered in Illinois and Kentucky before being acquired in August 2012 by the seller, who relocated the car to Maine. An engine rebuild in February 2019 included replacing the timing chains, camshafts, head studs, and rocker arms.
The car is finished in red with a black convertible top. Exterior equipment includes body-color mirror caps, impact bumpers with rear overriders, and dual exhaust outlets. Repairs to the soft top are noted, and it is said to be difficult to fully close on the driver’s side. The seller notes that the bumpers, front and rear valances, and the left rocker panel were repainted in 2004. The front hood is said to need adjustment.
Chrome-finished 16″ alloy wheels are mounted with 205/55 front and 225/50 rear Continental ContiSportContact tires. Modifications include Turbo tie rods.
The cabin features seats upholstered in tan leather as well as matching door panels, carpets, and floor mats. Equipment includes air conditioning, power windows, a lockable glovebox, and an aftermarket Blaupunkt Heidelberg stereo paired with Boston Acoustics door speakers. The seller states that the leather was re-dyed and the carpets were replaced in 2003.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a central tachometer, a 170-mph speedometer, a clock, and auxiliary gauges. The six-digit odometer indicates 89k miles, approximately 6k of which were added under current ownership.
The 3.2-liter flat-six was rebuilt in February 2019 under current ownership, with work including replacing the timing chains, camshafts, gaskets, and seals as well as adjusting the valve lash and installing 993 Turbo-spec alloy engine studs on the exhaust side. RSR-style rocker arms were also added, and corrosion around the battery in the trunk was addressed at that time.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a G50 five-speed manual transaxle. A Fabspeed exhaust system is installed.
