1990 Porsche 944S2 Cabriolet

$_3 (1)

My best friend recently went out and got a new car a few weekends ago, a 2014 MINI Cooper S John Cooper Works Convertible, replacing the 2011 Cooper S hatchback he previously drove. After taking it for a spin, I was impressed how solid it felt sans roof. But as quick and engaging a drive as it was, I still for some reason have a hard time seeing myself in a drop top. However, this Porsche 944 Cabriolet for sale in Indianapolis has me rethinking that whole notion all together. Looking sharp in red, it has covered just over 42,000 miles in its lifetime.

1998 Porsche 911 Carrera S

I’ve made clear throughout these pages my general love for the classic 911 and there are a variety of reasons for that love. But from a perspective of pure understated aesthetic beauty the 993 Carrera S quickly moves to the top of the list. With all of the corners of the classic design smoothed over the 993 in general has less of a wild look to it. Add to that the wider rear of the Carrera S and cover the whole thing in a deeply lustrous black paint and you have what many might consider the apex of 911 design. These cars were no slouch when it came to performance either with nearly 300 hp delivered to the rear wheels via a standard 6-speed manual transmission. They never possessed the sheer terror-inducing capabilities of the 930, but as a more refined 911 the 993 checks all of the boxes. The example featured here is a Black on Black 1998 Porsche 911 Carrera S, located in New York state, with 73,088 miles on it.

1985 Porsche 930

For a few brief years (or perhaps an eternity depending upon your perspective), the 911 Turbo was not offered in the US market because of Porsche’s hesitance to meet the US’s more stringent emission requirements. Most of the rest of the world still had the 930 though, some of those have made their way to our shores and we seem to increasingly come across them for sale. For the most part, RoW cars show few differences from what was offered in the US once they returned here. Notable exceptions are the rear bumperettes, which are narrower on RoW cars, and the front headlamps. I always find the US headlamp surrounds to give those cars a little bit of a melancholy look, versus the happier, upbeat, appearance of the RoW cars (if you’ll pardon the anthropomorphizing). All of this brings us to the car featured here: an India Red 1985 Porsche 930, located in Phoenix, that has seen 48,000 miles.

1979 Porsche 911SC Targa

Let’s continue with a little bit of a summer theme and look at another option in the world of open-air 911s. Here we have a Silver 1979 Porsche 911SC Targa, located in Conway, South Carolina (near Myrtle Beach), with just 41,504 miles on it. For a beach car (at least in an area that can get quite hot during the summer) a Targa seems like a pretty worthwhile choice as it provides the option of open-air cruising year round, but with the ability to have a semi-hardtop during the hottest months. Granted, you’d want a well working A/C in such a car, which is an area where many of these cars struggle, but it’s still another option for someone who is less interested in the full convertible experience. This particular 911 has seen only a few thousand miles over the past two decades so it’d be good to give it a thorough inspection, but there is sure to be quite a lot of life left in it.
