1988 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet

I think this 911 has been for sale for a while. I could be wrong, but I know this dealer has had a decent number of very-low mileage 3.2 Carreras and I’m assuming this one is part of that group. So why feature it now? Because it’s 4:30 am and I can’t sleep. I’m looking at cars and this one piqued my curiosity, to a degree clearly more than usual, and now I’m writing about it. The asking price, the mileage, and of course the interior. I love a red leather interior, a point that perhaps comes into focus during insomnia-fueled car trawling. It is in such moments of clarity that greatness can be achieved. Ok, so that’s probably a stretch, but I am realizing that I do like this 911. The interior isn’t for the fainthearted – the CoA is hard to read, but the color actually is Lipstick Red – and on a Cabriolet it stands out even more. There’s nowhere to hide, but that’s the idea.

Black over red, on a car, definitely represents a study in contrasts and that red interior certainly provides a healthy dose of vitality for those that claim a black car is just a bit too boring, too commonplace. I like the combination, not as much as I like Slate Grey over Red, but the divergence of its colors is attractive. The color combination is why we are here. There isn’t a whole lot else to say about this 911 other than it presents as we’d hope a car of this age with fewer than 20K miles would present. It’s likely been a part of someone’s collection and its apparent condition speaks to that.

I am curious about the price though. I’ve had an eye on the 3.2 Carrera market a bit as prices creep back into more reasonable territory so I’m curious if this high price will be attainable. The mileage and colors probably make for the sort of car that could achieve such a price. Will it? We’ll have to see.
