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.

1976 Porsche 911 Turbo

Current Ask
$224,995

Very few cars from the 1970s have the reputation of the first-generation Porsche 911 Turbo. This 1976 Porsche 911 Turbo (930) is an early U.S.-specification example showing approximately 103,898 miles and carrying VIN 9306800195, placing it as the 195th U.S.-market 930 in the 1976 VIN sequence. Porsche introduced the Turbo to North America for the 1976 model year, and this car belongs to the original 3.0-liter generation produced before the larger 3.3-liter Turbo arrived for 1978. Finished in White over a Black leather interior, this example combines the early single-turbo drivetrain with the signature wide rear fenders and factory whale-tail spoiler that made the 930 instantly recognizable. It also features a Rennsport-style front bumper, upgraded Porsche alloy wheels, factory-style air conditioning, a sunroof, and period Porsche equipment. According to the seller, this example has remained under the same ownership for the last 24 years, adding an appealing element of long-term provenance to one of Porsche’s most important early turbocharged road cars. Porsche states that 2,850 3.0-liter Turbos were produced during the model’s first three years, while specialist production records list 530 U.S.-specification examples for the 1976 model year.
