1988 PORSCHE 911 CARRERA G50 CABRIOLET

BLACK/TAN LEATHER

EXCEPTIONALLY WELL MAINTAINED

SAME OWNER FOR PAST 14 YEARS

3-OWNER VEHICLE

ALL BOOKS AND RECORDS + ORIGINAL WINDOW STICKER

I have owned this awesome 1988 Porsche Carrera Cabriolet since 2000 and am the third owner.  The vehicle was originally licensed in Tennessee in August, 1988 and then moved to California in 1995.  I purchased this Carrera in Southern California from a private seller in 2000 with 53,000 miles and have used it as my daily driver ever since.  I moved the car to the San Francisco Bay Area when I bought it and then shipped the car back to its original home of Nashville, Tennessee when I coincidentally moved there in 2008.  Over the past 3 years I have used it less frequently and have decided it needs another great home.  

I purchased this car in 2000 after an exhaustive search of 1988-1989 Carreras on the market at that time.  I met with the then-current owner as well as the original owner and visited the dealership where the vehicle had been serviced throughout the majority of its life.  This is an original, unmolested 1988 Porsche Carrera that has been very properly maintained for all of its 173,000 miles - it runs and drives like new.  The interior is only slightly worn, better than you may expect for a 26 year old Porsche.  The cabriolet top and rear plastic window were replaced in 2009 and items of regular wear and tear have been replaced as needed (rear tail lights, front fog light lenses, horn, tires, brakes, etc.) with no expense ever spared.  In 2012 I decided to address the stone chips on the hood and front bumper that accumulated over time and had the entire car (with exception of driver side door) repainted by the top body shop in Nashville.  All service history can be verified and validated by the two shops (one in San Francisco and one in Nashville) that have worked on the vehicle since I have owned it.  

I am happy to share more about the vehicle with serious parties.

Porsche Macan teaser reveals unique quad-LEDs

Fri, 11 Oct 2013

In truth, all-but-undisguised prototypes for the upcoming Porsche Macan compact crossover have been spotted galavanting all around the globe for some time now, but even the least-camouflaged examples have been caught wearing eyepatches covering their headlights and taillights. A dark new teaser image from Porsche clues us in to why that is - the baby Cayenne is getting unique quad-LED peepers up front.
Porsche has been hinting at lighting innovations in its production cars through recent concept reveals, including the stunning Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo showcar from last year's Paris Motor Show. The wagonized Panamera also featured four-point LED arrays up front, as well is in the rear, so it seems likely that this lighting will become a Porsche design signature going forward.
Powerpoint slides leaked from a recent dealer meeting suggest the Macan S will arrive packing a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6, while the Macan Turbo will boast a 3.6-liter force-fed unit, with both models receiving seven-speed PDK dual-clutch gearboxes. Pricing is expected to range from $52,000 for the S model to $75,000 for the Turbo.

Lamborghini Miura, Porsche 911 highlight Techno Classica

Mon, Apr 11 2016

Visitors to the Techno Classica show in Germany this weekend were treated to the spectacle of all manner of classic cars under the roof of the Messe Essen. Not surprisingly, the Volkswagen Group was well represented, with the historical departments of two of its flagship marques showcasing their in-house restoration projects – albeit in radically different states of repair. While Porsche brought a completely restored example of a particularly storied 911, Lamborghini went the opposite route by displaying the bare body-in-white for a Miura. With the Miura now celebrating its 50th anniversary, Lamborghini's recently launched PoloStorico division is in the process of restoring several examples. Chassis #5030 is a Miura SV that, as you can see, is still in the middle of its refurbishment, its frame corrected but still unfinished – but that didn't stop the Raging Bull marque from putting it on display. It was joined by the freshly completed green example (chassis #4846) that was the department's first project, as well as the engine from a Miura P400S. Meanwhile, Porsche Classic arrived with a lovely 911 2.5 S/T, the precursor of the 911 RSR. One of only 24 examples made, this particular vehicle won its class at Le Mans in 1972 at the hands of works driver Jurgen Barth (who would alter claim victory overall in '77). It was rediscovered in poor health decades later by a collector, who commissioned Porsche Classic to bring it back to life. The task proved monumental, the vehicle having been modified, crashed, rusted, and used as a playground for children. Both vehicles aptly demonstrate the kind of care that these manufacturers' own restoration departments put into preserving their company's legacy. If you weren't in Essen this weekend to see them first-hand, you can check them both out in the pair of image galleries.

Showing the original Miura SV first unveiled at the 1971 Geneva Motor Show and the subject of a full restoration by Lamborghini PoloStorico, the stand also displays a Miura chassis demonstrating work in progress and a fully overhauled Miura engine.

Porsche Cayman GT4 spotted at the N?rburgring

Tue, 13 May 2014

It was just the other day that we first caught wind of Porsche's plans to build a GT4 version of the Cayman, and now we're already looking at spy shots of the vehicle in question undergoing testing at - where else? - the Nürburgring.
With more aggressive front-end aero, a GT3-style air vent ahead of the front hood, a large wing at the back, and spindly alloys packed with over-sized brakes at each corner, this Cayman is clearly more extreme than even the range-topping GTS. The rear diffuser and central exhaust tips look about the same as those you'd find at the back of the Cayman GTS, though.
What we can't see, of course, is what Porsche has slotted in under the rear glass, how it's upgraded the interior and how much weight it's stripped out of the thing to get it down to fighting weight, but you can bet it'll come with a substantial power bump and a stripped-out interior with racing buckets and little else to open the gap between it and the GTS... and close the gap to the 911 GT3 which it will join as the baby brother in Porsche's performance-focused lineup.
