Hey There, Fellow Porsche Enthusiasts!

I’ve reluctantly decided to part ways with my cherished 1989 Carrera Cabriolet and wanted to share a bit about this beauty.

Why I Love This Car

• Almost All Original: This Carrera represents the authentic Porsche spirit with nearly all-original parts (excluding stereo/speakers and exhaust modifications). It reflects the timeless driving pleasure that only a Porsche can offer.
• Ready to Drive: Starting without a hitch every time, it’s perfect for daily adventures and long road trips.
• Fun & Enjoyable: It’s a vehicle that invites spontaneous drives without the worry of minor wear and tear.

Future Considerations

From my perspective, here are a few things it could use:

• Some Poly Motor Mounts
• New Dash (replacement dash included)
• Original Speaker Grilles for the Stereo Speakers
• Front Valance and Chin Spoiler
• Thick New Carpet Kit if desired

Bonus Parts Included

• Steve Wong Chip ($185)
• Cat Bypass Pipe ($695)
• 1989 Carrera Dash for Replacement ($1,200)
• Miscellaneous Parts

Why I’m Selling

It breaks my heart to let it go, but I need to focus on my 70T Targa project before next summer. With this stunning Porsche around, it’s too easy to sideline that project. I’ve enjoyed every moment with this incredible ride and now it’s time for someone else to take the wheel.
