This 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera cabriolet was specified in Arctic Silver Metallic over Metropol Blue all-leather with supple inserts, and it is powered by a 3.4-liter M96 flat-six paired with a six-speed manual transaxle. Features include a blue soft top, a removable hardtop, a deployable rear spoiler, 19” aftermarket wheels, power-adjustable front seats, a Bose sound system, cruise control, a Kenwood head unit with navigation, and automatic climate control. The IMS bearing was replaced using components from LN Engineering in September 2016, while the convertible top hydraulic cylinders, fuel pump, and the oil separator were replaced under current ownership. This 996.1 cabriolet was acquired by the current owner in October 2023 and has 90k miles, and it is now offered by the seller on behalf of the owner at no reserve with a tool kit, recent service invoices, and a clean Florida title in the owner’s name.
The car is finished in Arctic Silver Metallic (L92U) and features a color-matched removable hardtop and a replacement blue convertible soft top as well as aftermarket headlights and tail lights, integrated fog lights, a deployable rear spoiler, and dual exhaust outlets with polished finishers. The Carfax report lists accident damage in an April 2020 entry, and the seller notes that the front bumper cover was replaced and the right fender was repaired as a result. The convertible top hydraulic cylinders were rebuilt in October 2023.
Chrome-finished 19″ aftermarket wheels show signs of pitting and are mounted with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. Braking is handled by four-piston Porsche-branded calipers fitted over cross-drilled rotors at all four corners. The wheel lug studs were replaced in September 2023.
The cabin features full leather seats upholstered in Metropol Blue with supple accents as well as leather trim that extends to the dashboard and door panels. Interior equipment includes power-adjustable front seats, driver-seat memory settings, a Bose sound system, cruise control, a Kenwood head unit with navigation, and automatic climate control. The left bolster on the driver’s seat shows signs of wear.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel fronts a 180-mph speedometer, a central tachometer, and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, voltage, and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 90k miles. The instrument cluster was replaced in September 2023.
The 3.4-liter M96 flat-six was factory rated at 296 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. A Top Speed intake tube is installed. The IMS bearing was replaced in September 2016 using components from LN Engineering. An oil change was performed in September 2023, and work under current ownership has included replacing the fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel tank cap, oil separator, and the oil filler tube.
Power is routed to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transaxle. The clutch and pressure plate were replaced in November 2019.
