1997 Porsche 911 Carrera

Details

This 1997 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet has just 40,556 miles and is powered by a 3.6L flat-six engine paired with a six-speed manual transaxle that sends power to the rear wheels. This Arctic Silver Metallic convertible 911 is fitted with a black cloth top and matching leather upholstery. This unmodified Carrera was optioned from the factory with ABS brakes, cruise control, MacPherson strut front suspension, hydraulic clutch, power-adjustable seats, power steering, and power windows. The car is presented with a Carfax history report and has spent time in Massachusetts, and is currently located in Florida.

The pictures and inspection of this 911 represent the car well. Paint meter readings are available in the third-party photos as well as additional information in the inspection report confirming that the car was repaired despite the report of an accident in the Carfax. The cars exterior is clean and in good condition, with the exception of a noticeable scratch on the left rear quarter panel and small scratches in a couple of places that one would expect for a car this age. The interior drivers seat shows minimal wear consistent with the mileage. The car also operates mechanically as it should, as confirmed in a third-party inspection. The car looks and runs like a vehicle with only 40,556 miles. Included in the sale are a tire inflator, 2 sets of keys, owners literature, and a battery tender.

This Porsche 911 is being sold through a CLASSIC.COM Pro and is located in Key Biscayne, Florida.

About the model

Introduced in late 1994 to replace the 964 Generation (1995 model year for the US), the Porsche 993s convertible and coupe have become highly sought after given their characteristic as the last of the air-cooled Porsches. As with most Porsche series cars, they are available in multiple variants, including the naturally aspirated Carrera, Carrera S, Carrera 4, and the Carrera 4S, along with several 993 Turbo versions as well. From a collector's perspective, the most sought-after sample in the 993 series is the Porsche 911 GT2. At more reasonable price points, the Carrera S and the Carrera RS can be of particular interest, given their low production volume and unique performance characteristics. Overlapping with its last variants, the 993 series was replaced by the 996 Generation in 1998. Learn more in our 993 Market Guide.
