This inaugural-year Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet is finished in silver over a black interior and has been customized with Turbo-style spoilers along with several custom trim pieces and performance upgrades. It was reportedly acquired out of California in early 2020 and is now being offered for auction by its seller out of New York.
This 911 is finished in silver and features a front valence with integrated fog lights and a Turbo-style chin spoiler. A matching Tea Tray rear Turbo spoiler has been installed as well. Other equipment includes a retractable black cabriolet top, periscope-style third brake light, custom polished exhaust tip, red-painted brakes calipers, and 16” Fuchs wheels. The car rides on a set of Yokohama Advan Sport run-flat tires dated from 2011 in the rear and 2014 in front. The car is believed to have been completely refinished at some point and cosmetic imperfections are depicted in the gallery along with a full CARFAX report.
The black interior has been customized with stainless steel Carrera logo doors sills and matching trim pieces along with an upgraded Pioneer stereo, an aftermarket black shift knob, and a Rennline driver’s floorboard. Cracks are depicted on the dashboard as well as wear on the seating surfaces. The cruise control and windshield washers are currently inoperable, and the gauge needles intermittently jump. The heat has also been eliminated with the installation of performance exhaust headers.
Power is sent to the rear wheels from an air-cooled 3.2-liter flat-six engine paired with a 5-speed 915 manual transaxle. The engine has been upgraded with performance headers, Turbo lower valve covers, and a stainless-steel muffler. Aftermarket sway bars have also been installed along with aftermarket shocks, Turbo tie rods, and a front strut tower brace. The seller notes that the engine tends to drip a small amount of oil. Images of the undercarriage and engine bay are provided in the gallery.
This sale will include a clean title.

@SpeedyRC51 Not that we've experienced. The clutch cable was replaced in 2020 when the current owner purchased the car. In the video I mention that I think it may need new bushings in the shifter, only because it squeaks into gear, it's a rubber squeaking. It doesn't pop out of gear and upshifts and downshifts through the gears fine.

Are there any known issues with the transmission, IE shifting issues, worn bushings, popping out of gear etc?
@Cgomoll I don't think you'll win the auction with your current bid :)
@TobinMotorWorks LOL! Thanks for the prompt reply. I should have recognized that tool. I'm sure the tech that left it there is missing it already.
Mention a colour or a car or a model year, and everyone has a story. That's why I love the auto world, its a living history of shared experiences. GLWTS!
@TobinMotorWorks So I can adjust my bid down to $21,000 for this information
Something that came up this morning, and I mention it in the video...
The driver's side window is in the DOWN position and will not come up. The passenger's side window goes up and down fine, as demonstrated in the video, but the driver's side does not move up when the switch is activated. It doesn't make any noise when I move the switch either way, it's just down and won't come back up.
I watched a couple of Youtube videos about window switches and regulators and made a call to the owner of a very good Porsche shop about an hour from me. He tells me bad switches are pretty common.
Because I am not a technician... and because I'm a lot better at taking stuff apart than putting it back together properly, the car is going to be sold as-is, driver's window DOWN. So, if the car is going to be shipped, it should be shipped enclosed, which is how I assume anyone would ship it, this time of year, anyway.
REPEAT: selling with inoperative driver's side window down. So please adjust your bids accordingly.
I just shot a Walk-Around video of the car in the showroom... here is the Youtube link:

@Ziegelrot Woa! good eye! I had never noticed that. I just went over to the car to have a look... apparently it's just a rigid wire with a magnet on the end of it, stuck there. I believe it is a tool a tech left in there accidentally... the kind of thing you fish a small metal part out of an engine bay with if your hand doesn't fit wherever you dropped it. (just uploaded a photo). I put it in the glovebox for the next owner.
Also.. I see your username... my first Porsche was a Ziegelrot '84 Targa. A great car in a great color. It was a trade in at the new Mercedes dealership where I worked in Minneapolis in 2011. I paid the dealership $8500 for it because the used car manager didn't want such an old car around. 98k original miles, 3 owners, known history from new and tons of service records. Was my dream car at the time.
@Roma I haven't seen any rust on the car, beyond what look like a little surface rust on the carpeted panel (under the torn carpet) right below the inside of the back window of the convertible top. There are a lot of photos of the underside of the car in the gallery. To the best of our knowledge the car has been in California and Florida most of its life. We don't have any compression test results. No such test has been done under current ownership.
Near the bottom of the emission label in photo 168, there is a metal wire visible that is attached to the right side of the engine cover. What is this wire for?
Would the Seller plz comment on any rust and share any recent compression/leak off test results if available? THX
@Cgomoll Of course. I’d take it out for another driving video today but the roads are salty and wet. Maybe I’ll do a walk around in the show room for everybody.
Making sure the car is still in running condition?

Good afternoon Pcarmarket and welcome to our 1984 Porsche 911 Cab auction! It's nice to be back here at Pcarmarket.
This is a consignment from one of our customers in Minnesota. He bought this 911 at about the same time he bought 2 others cars in early 2020... he has since consigned all three with us... a Mercedes 280SL and a Ferrari 360. The 911 is the last to go. He took delivery of a new Ferrari F8 recently and keeps himself busy with other, more modern cars in his collection. He figured out that he just 'wasn't an old car guy'... so here's the '84 911.
This car has some imperfections, but we believe it's a solid, entry level driver for the right enthusiast. It feels right, sounds right, even smells right... as an air cooled 911 from the 80s should. A new clutch cable was installed shortly after our client's acquisition in 2020. It has only had an oil change since.
Please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions, either privately or here in the comments.
