Crystal clear Carfax report and only 2 owners from new ! The late-production 3.2 Carrera represents one of the most important chapters in Porsche 911 history. Built at the peak of the air-cooled era, the 3.2-liter flat-six is widely regarded as one of the most reliable, durable, and usable classic 911 engines ever produced. It delivers the raw character enthusiasts crave while offering a level of mechanical robustness that makes it genuinely enjoyable to own and drive. Paired with this engine is the highly desirable G50 five-speed manual transmission, introduced in 1987. With stronger internals, a hydraulic clutch, and a markedly improved shift feel compared to the earlier 915 gearbox, the G50 elevates the driving experience and remains a defining feature sought after by collectors and purists alike. It represents the perfect balance between classic analog engagement and refined usability. Mileage should never be viewed in isolation, especially when evaluating a properly maintained air-cooled Porsche. With 131,000 miles, this 1988 911 Carrera is a clear example of why the 3.2-liter engine has earned its legendary reputation for durability and longevity. These cars were engineered to be driven, and when serviced correctly, they thrive on use rather than suffer from it. This particular example is in exceptional mechanical condition. The engine pulls strongly and cleanly across the entire power band, delivering consistent performance with the immediacy and character that define the 3.2 Carrera. There are no hesitations, no flat spots, and no compromises — just the honest, mechanical strength that made this engine the benchmark for classic 911 ownership. Adding a significant layer of confidence, the car has been fully serviced by Porsche Classic, adhering strictly to factory standards and procedures. It comes with a 100% passing Porsche Classic Technical Certificate, confirming that the vehicle meets Porsche's highest authenticity and mechanical criteria. This certification is not cosmetic — it is a comprehensive validation of condition, originality, and correctness, and it is only awarded after thorough inspection by certified Porsche Classic technicians. In support of this, the car benefits from more than $15,000 in Porsche Classic internal service invoices, covering major mechanical maintenance and preventative care. Recent work includes comprehensive engine service, transmission service, complete brake service, and new tires, among other critical items. This level of documented investment ensures the car is not only correct, but ready to be driven and enjoyed immediately. This 911 offers a driving experience that is increasingly rare in today's automotive landscape. With no electronic driver aids and no digital filters between car and driver, it delivers pure mechanical feedback and timeless Porsche engineering. Every input feels direct, intentional, and rewarding — the way a 911 was always meant to feel. As a Cabriolet, it adds an extra layer of versatility and lifestyle appeal. Whether enjoyed with the top down on a coastal drive or cruising through mountain roads, it offers open-air motoring without compromising its status as a collectible air-cooled Porsche. Finished in the extraordinary Red Cassis Metallic, paint code F9, this car stands apart even among special 911s. Rare, elegant, and understated, Red Cassis Metallic is one of the most elusive colors offered in the late 1980s. Its deep burgundy-plum tone subtly transforms with light, shifting from rich wine hues indoors to refined purple highlights under the sun. It is a period-correct color that remains strikingly distinctive, and one that is highly sought after by collectors who value originality, rarity, and tasteful specification. Beyond its visual presence, this 911 represents everything that makes the 3.2 Carrera era so special. Renowned for durability and long-term ownership satisfaction, it is a classic that can be driven, enjoyed, and maintained with confidence. At the same time, rising demand for G50-equipped Carreras in rare factory colors continues to reinforce its investment-grade appeal and collector credibility. Few cars truly capture the soul of Porsche like a late-production 3.2 Carrera with a G50 gearbox. Finished in the exceptional Red Cassis Metallic, this 1988 911 Cabriolet presents a rare opportunity to acquire a genuinely special air-cooled classic — one that feels equally at home carving canyon roads, gracing concours lawns, or gliding effortlessly along the coast. An icon. A driver's car. A collector's Porsche.
