Overview of 1988 Porsche 911 Cabriolet For Sale by Owner

The Porsche 911's story starts in 1964 when it was introduced as Porsche's high-performance sports car. Since then, the 911 has redefined the concept of the rear-engined rear-wheel-drive car. It sets records, is sold by the bucketload, and is one of the most desirable cars in the world. Every enthusiast wants to get behind the wheel, especially in one of the earlier air-cooled models. That's why we're glad to announce that one lucky enthusiast can fulfill their dream and buy this 1988 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet. The car has done 113,000 miles and can easily double or even triple that with the right care. Are you its next custodian?

Exterior and Interior

The early generations of the 911 are somewhat blurred, but we can glean that this 1988 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet is of the Carrera 3.2 series that ran between 1984 and 1989. This particular example wears a beautiful and timeless white paint coat that contrasts perfectly with its black canvas top. Despite being a cabriolet, it still has the iconic 911 silhoutte and all the calling cards, such as the circular headlamps and squat stance. The car rides on a lovely set of black five-spoke wheels that are classic Eighties Porsche. It's right there for you. The wheels alone will turn heads. Inside, we find a black leather-lined cabin with two plus two seating. This means two adults and two children can travel within the confines of this 1988 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet. Right in front of the driver is the iconic five-dial instrument cluster that continues to this day, with the tachometer right in the middle. The car also sports air conditioning, power windows, and cruise control. The current owner tells us that the radio is an upgraded Sony head unit with a CD player and auxiliary input.

Engine

The tuneful 3.2L engine that powers this 1988 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet sits firmly in its tail, waiting to conjure up 207hp when your right foot demands it. Driving the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission, you can achieve 0-60 in under 6 seconds. Meanwhile, the front independent MacPherson strut suspension and rear independent trailing arm suspension ensure sporty and predictable handling characteristics as long as you treat this Porsche with the respect that it deserves. The current owner reports that the engine has received new belts. Braking is provided via front and rear discs that bite with verve, bringing this piece of poetry in motion to a safe stop every time.

1988 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet G50

Current Ask
$89,500

The late G-series Carrera 3.2 occupies a sweet spot in the air-cooled 911 lineage, combining classic 911 proportions and mechanical character with the more desirable Getrag G50 5-speed manual transaxle introduced for 1987. That makes 1987–1989 examples especially sought after among enthusiasts, and this 1988 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet adds an uncommon Cassis Red Metallic finish to the equation. Showing approximately 132,340 miles, it also benefits from a Porsche Classic verification and sorting process completed by Gaudin Porsche in Nevada in early 2026, with the engine serial number visually confirmed as matching Porsche’s original records. The car is accompanied by a Porsche Classic Technical Certificate and blends period-correct air-cooled character with tasteful interior refurbishment, including houndstooth seat inserts.
