Overview

This 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet is a remarkably preserved 993-generation example showing just 279 miles from new. Finished in Grand Prix White over black leather sport seats with painted backs, this air-cooled Carrera was specified from the factory with a limited-slip differential, Automatic Braking Differential (ABD), and power-operated sport seats. Originally delivered in New Jersey, it spent over a decade in Germany before returning stateside in 2024, and it now resides in California with a clean Arizona title. Notably, the car is signed by legendary Porsche factory driver Walter Röhrl on both the fuel filler lid and glovebox, adding a unique touch to this time-capsule cabriolet.

 

Its 3.6-liter flat-six engine is paired with a six-speed manual transaxle and was factory-rated at 270 horsepower. In addition to a major 2023 service that included new clutch cylinders, brake master cylinder, fluid flushes, spark plugs, and a rebuilt fuel system, the car most recently underwent a Porsche Classic Technical Certification inspection at Porsche San Diego in August 2024. At that visit—showing just 276 miles—an oil and brake fluid service was completed, and fresh Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 tires were mounted by SD Tire & Wheel. The car retains its factory Becker CR-1 stereo, Hi-Fi sound system, cruise control, air conditioning, and Euro-spec front lighting; the latter can be reverted to U.S.-spec with minimal effort.

 

The car rides on 17" Cup II wheels with silver finish and Porsche crest center caps, and braking is handled by Porsche-branded calipers over cross-drilled rotors. Included in the sale are the owner’s manual, tool kit, air compressor, jack, factory bra, wheel lock, tonneau cover, a second key plus valet key, and a binder of service records, including German documentation dating back to 2011. This 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet offers an exceedingly rare opportunity to own a nearly delivery-mile example of the final air-cooled 911—enhanced by expert service history, factory originality, and provenance that includes one of Porsche’s most iconic figures.
