Overview of 1988 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet G50 For Sale by Owner

The late G-series Carrera 3.2 occupies a sweet spot in the air-cooled 911 lineage, combining classic 911 proportions and mechanical character with the more desirable Getrag G50 5-speed manual transaxle introduced for 1987. That makes 1987–1989 examples especially sought after among enthusiasts, and this 1988 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet adds an uncommon Cassis Red Metallic finish to the equation. Showing approximately 132,340 miles, it also benefits from a Porsche Classic verification and sorting process completed by Gaudin Porsche in Nevada in early 2026, with the engine serial number visually confirmed as matching Porsche’s original records. The car is accompanied by a Porsche Classic Technical Certificate and blends period-correct air-cooled character with tasteful interior refurbishment, including houndstooth seat inserts.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior of this 1988 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet is finished in Cassis Red Metallic, a distinctive period Porsche color that gives the car an especially elegant presence. It rides on 16-inch Fuchs alloy wheels and is paired with a black convertible soft top. According to the Porsche Classic evaluation completed in early 2026, the paintwork was considered to be in excellent condition with minimal inclusions, while the body showed no visible damage. The same inspection also noted that the suspension showed no major damage and required no action at that time. The interior of this 1988 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet is finished in black and has been reupholstered with houndstooth inserts, giving the cabin a tasteful vintage motorsport character. Current ownership also installed a new dashboard and front seats using OEM-quality materials. Equipment includes power-adjustable front seats, air conditioning, cruise control, power windows, and an Alpine audio head unit. The Porsche Classic inspection described the interior as being in good condition relative to the vehicle’s year of manufacture.

Engine

Powering this 1988 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet is the 3.2L naturally aspirated air-cooled H6, paired with the highly regarded G50 5-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. The G50 gearbox is a major part of the appeal of the final Carrera 3.2 years, offering a more modern shifting feel than the earlier 915 transmission while retaining the unmistakable analog character of an air-cooled 911. During the Porsche Classic evaluation, the engine serial number was visually identified as matching Porsche’s original records, and no visible or obvious engine leakage was noted. The inspection also found the front brake pads and rotors to be effectively new, while the rear pads and rotors showed only minimal wear.

2026 Porsche 911 GT3 Weissach

Current Ask
$350,000

The 2026 Porsche 911 GT3 is about as close as a modern road car gets to wearing its motorsport DNA on its sleeve, and this example leans fully into that character. Showing just 2,152 miles, it pairs the 4.0L naturally aspirated flat-six with the enthusiast-favorite 6-speed GT Sport manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, giving it the kind of mechanical involvement that has become increasingly rare. Beneath its dealer-installed Black color paint protection film is a Guards Red exterior, while the specification goes much deeper with the Weissach Package, Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes with yellow calipers, Front Axle Lift System, Chrono Package, and satin dark silver wheels. Inside, Black Leather/Race-Tex with Guards Red stitching, Guards Red seat belts, carbon-fiber trim, and Race-Tex details keep the cabin firmly focused on the driving experience. This is a GT3 configured with the hardware purists tend to care about most, but with enough thoughtful equipment to make it usable beyond the occasional weekend blast.

1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1

Current Ask
$55,000

With just 1,025 miles showing, this 1990 Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 is an extraordinary low-mileage example of one of the most important American performance cars of its era. The first-year ZR-1 paired the C4 Corvette’s unmistakable shape with the sophisticated 5.7-liter LT5 DOHC 32-valve V8, a ZF 6-speed manual transmission, and unique wide-body hardware developed to handle its increased performance. Finished in Black over a Black leather interior, this example retains hallmark ZR-1 equipment including the dual-mode engine power system with its Full-Power key, Selective Ride Control, staggered 17-inch directional aluminum wheels, and removable targa roof panel. The approximately 1,025 miles displayed are the defining feature here, making this a particularly compelling example for the collector or enthusiast seeking a first-year ZR-1 with remarkably limited indicated use.

1992 Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo

Current Ask
$27,000

The 1992 Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo represents one of the most ambitious Japanese-American performance collaborations of the early 1990s, combining dramatic grand-touring styling with a sophisticated twin-turbocharged powertrain and an unusually advanced collection of chassis technology for its era. This example shows approximately 31,533 miles and is finished in Mistic Blue Metallic over a Black interior. Beyond its 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 and Getrag 5-speed manual transmission, the R/T Turbo specification brings period performance features such as active aerodynamics, electronically controlled suspension, four-wheel power disc brakes with ABS, and pop-up headlights. With relatively low indicated mileage and unmistakably early-'90s styling, this Stealth delivers the technology-heavy character that made the flagship R/T Turbo such a distinctive performance car.

$130,000

The 1969 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray represents one of the most memorable years of the C3 era, and this convertible brings together several of the ingredients enthusiasts look for in a classic Corvette. Showing approximately 2,999 miles on the odometer, it pairs Daytona Yellow paintwork with a black interior, both a convertible soft top and removable hardtop, and the unmistakable presence of a 427ci big-block V8. A 4-speed manual transmission, triple 2-barrel carburetors, side exhaust, heavy-duty clutch, and power-assisted steering and brakes give this example a particularly appealing specification. The current owner also reports that the engine build has been refreshed.
