Overview of 1997 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet For Sale by Owner

The 1997 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet (993) represents the final generation of Porsche’s legendary air-cooled 911 lineage, combining classic rear-engine character with the added confidence of Porsche’s Carrera 4 all-wheel-drive system. Showing 81,911 miles, this example is powered by the iconic 3.6L naturally aspirated air-cooled flat-six paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, delivering the engaging driving experience that has made the 993 generation highly sought after among Porsche enthusiasts. Finished in Black over Cashmere Beige leather, this one-owner Carrera 4 Cabriolet offers a desirable combination of open-top Porsche motoring, timeless styling, and classic analog driving feel.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior is finished in Black and features the timeless proportions of the 993-generation 911 Cabriolet, complemented by a black convertible soft top and classic 17-inch 5-spoke wheels. The car retains the elegant and understated appearance of a late air-cooled Porsche while incorporating practical features such as the original body-color exterior trim elements and convertible design. Inside, the cabin is trimmed in Cashmere Beige leather with full leather seats, creating a luxurious contrast to the dark exterior. Equipment includes the Dual Power Seat Package, Hi-Fi Sound Package, and embroidered “Porsche” front floor mats, adding both comfort and enthusiast-focused details. The convertible top has been replaced with an aftermarket unit, which currently operates manually due to non-functional electronic components.

Engine

The Carrera 4 Cabriolet is powered by Porsche’s renowned 3.6L naturally aspirated air-cooled H6, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission and Porsche’s all-wheel-drive system. The 993 platform features advanced suspension engineering for its era, including independent front and rear suspension systems, providing a balance of classic Porsche feedback and everyday drivability. As one of the final air-cooled 911 models, the 993 Carrera 4 remains highly desirable for its mechanical character, analog driving experience, and connection to Porsche’s motorsport-inspired heritage.

Current Ask
$59,990

Few restomods take the air-cooled Porsche formula this far off-script. This 1966 Porsche 911 Restomod is built around a turbocharged 1.3L 13B two-rotor rotary engine with a street port, Precision turbocharger, electronic fuel injection, and a five-speed manual transmission, creating a radically different character from the flat-six configuration most enthusiasts expect to find behind the rear axle. Finished in Speed Yellow over a black and yellow plaid interior, this impressive build also incorporates a widebody conversion, BBS multi-piece wheels, an AiM digital display, racing harnesses, and a fixed rear wing. Mileage is TMU, which is fitting for a car that has been transformed so extensively from its original configuration.
