This 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera cabriolet underwent ~$26k in cosmetic refurbishments and services after it was acquired by its current owner on BaT in October 2023. Finished in Midnight Blue Metallic with a blue soft top over Marble Grey partial leather, the car is powered by a 3.6-liter flat-six paired with a six-speed manual transaxle, and it has 17″ Cup II wheels, power-adjustable front seats, and a Porsche Classic head unit with Bluetooth connectivity. This 993 Carrera cabriolet shows 35k miles and is offered on dealer consignment with owner’s manuals, service records, accessories, and a clean California title.
Exterior details include headlight washers, fog lights, power-adjustable mirrors, a speed-activated rear spoiler, and a replacement power-retractable soft top. The front bumper cover was refinished under previous ownership. In April 2024, the rear bumper was refinished, and paint correction work was completed before paint protection film and ceramic coating were applied. Headlamp lenses and other exterior elements that were replaced in the past year are itemized in service records shown at the end of the gallery below.
Refinished in 2024 along with the brake calipers, the 17″ Cup II wheels were mounted with Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus tires in September 2023. Cross-drilled brake rotors are fitted at all four corners.
The power-adjustable front seats are trimmed in Marble Grey partial leather over blue carpets, and the cabin has air conditioning, cruise control, and a Bluetooth-capable Porsche Classic Radio Navigation head unit with a 3.5″ touchscreen. Under current ownership, the climate-control sensor fan was serviced, and leather repairs were completed on the seats, handbrake, shifter, and steering wheel. The airbag cradle mounts and cabin air filters were replaced, as well.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a central tachometer with a 6,800-rpm redline, which is flanked by a 180-mph speedometer, an analog clock, and gauges for oil pressure, oil temperature, oil level, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 35k miles, approximately 1,500 of which were added under current ownership.
Factory rated at 270 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque, the air-cooled 3.6L flat-six sends power to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transaxle. In December 2023, the valve cover gaskets, ignition wires, spark plugs, distributor caps and rotors, accessory drive belts, fuel filter, vacuum reservoir, and clutch breather hose were replaced by TLG Auto of North Hollywood, California.
Dry-ice cleaning was completed on the undercarriage in April 2024, after which clear protective coating was applied on exposed metal, and the exhaust system was cleaned, with rust and oxidation removed by laser.
