BaT History (1 entry)

This 1988 Porsche 911 Carrera cabriolet was purchased new at Manhattan Imported Cars in Rockville, Maryland, by a cousin of the current owner, and it spent its life in the District of Columbia until it was recently relocated to California. The car is powered by a 3.2-liter flat-six paired with a G50 five-speed manual transaxle, and it is finished in Granite Green Metallic over Linen leather. Equipment includes 16″ Fuchs alloy wheels, sport-tuned shocks, a green soft top, power windows, a Blaupunkt cassette stereo, a short shifter, cruise control, and air conditioning. This Carrera cabriolet is now offered on dealer consignment in California with the owner’s manual, service records, original purchase documents, tools, a clean Carfax report, and a clean District of Columbia title.
