1987 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet - SOLD — Deeb Spec

The 911SC was fast, but the Carrera is a bullet,” exclaimed Car and Driver in 1984. “The Porsche 911 Carrera is the absolute embodiment of clench-jawed, tightfisted, slit-eyed enthusiasm run amok.”

The introduction of the much-anticipated Cabriolet in 1983 and the replacement of the 911SC with the 3.2-liter Carrera the next year secured the Porsche 911 its place in history. By 1987, gradual improvements had trickled into for the 3.2-liter 911 Carrera: integrated fog lights in 1984, an updated interior in 1986, and by 1987, the new and much improved G50 transmission was introduced. Porsche engineers are loath to stand still! However, there are aspects of the 911 Porsche that would never change. It was still very much a hand-built sports car as was the case upon introduction as the 901 in 1964. Direct steering feel, world-class braking, and, of course, the raspy, metallic engine note of the famous air-cooled flat-six remained. In fact, the combination of both old and new mark the late 1980s Carrera 3.2s (with Coupe, Cabriolet, and Targa body styles) as the most accessible, yet classic, generation of the timeless Porsche 911.
