1989 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet

1989 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet, Velvet Red/Champagne, Same Owner Since '91!

The Porsche 911 is one of the most recognizable cars in the world! Since its introduction at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1963, the car's general shape hasn't changed all that much. The high-performance rear-engine sports car's engineering philosophy has always been continuous development while keeping the basic concept unchanged. This familiarity is probably the reason why people are so endeared with its simple design.

The 1989 911 Carrera Cabriolet offered here from Art & Speed blends the earlier models' tradition with more modern touches and comfort. Presented in Velvet Red with Champagne leather interior, this is a well-maintained two-owner car owned by the same person since 1991 and includes lots of documentation to go with it.

The Velvet Red paint is freshly resprayed and expertly layered with a base/clear finish. The interior matched Champagne-colored top is in terrific shape, seals nicely, and works as it should. A like-new original black cloth boot snaps into place to cover the top when it is down. The glass is also in excellent shape. The original three-piece BBS wheels were recently sent off to be entirely refurbished and look stunning on the car against the contrasting paint.

Under the bonnet, you will find a nicely carpeted compartment containing the original Porsche tool kit along with a Pioneer six-disc CD player added by the previous owner. In the rear, you will find the 214-horsepower 3.2-liter flat-six engine to be cleanly presented and in good working order. The power is transferred through a Getrag G50 five-speed manual transmission. Known for its reliability, you won't find a more robust combination than the late-'80s Carrera powertrain. With a tick over 100,000 miles, this one has plenty of life left in it. Behind those pretty BBS wheels sit disc brakes at all four corners, which are sure to provide plenty of stopping power for this nimble corner carver.

Sliding into the brand-new Champagne perforated-leather interior, the seats hug you in all the right places to keep you comfortably planted behind the wheel. The door panels, carpet, and mats are color-matched and present well. The black leather-skinned dash is in very good condition with no signs of dehydration or cracking. All of the gauges work as they should. The original Blaupunkt stereo cassette player is present and works with the aforementioned Pioneer six-disc CD changer. A center console houses the climate control, shifter, and defrost. Other amenities include air-conditioning, power windows, and power seats — all in working order.

If you are in the market to find a shining example of a rust-free Porsche Carrera Cabriolet, this 1989 Velvet Red version is calling your name. It is the last year for the body style and is sure to go up in value. Come by Art & Speed and take this one for a spin. We're sure you'll be ready to make some room in the garage for this droptop!
