The Details
The 1985 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet represents the return of an open-top 911, reintroduced after nearly two decades and built upon the proven G-body platform. At its core is the 3.2-liter air-cooled flat-six, a notable evolution over the earlier 911SC, incorporating Bosch Motronic engine management to improve drivability, efficiency, and long-term reliability while preserving the mechanical character that defines the era.
Finished in Crystal Green Metallic over a Black leather interior, this example reflects a distinctly period-correct specification. The black soft top complements the exterior with a restrained, cohesive look. Showing 21,280 original miles, it has seen relatively limited use, consistent with careful ownership over time.
The driving experience is shaped by the pairing of the 3.2-liter flat-six—producing approximately 207 horsepower in U.S. specification—and the 915 five-speed manual transmission. Power delivery is linear and accessible, with a strong mid-range and the analog, involving feel characteristic of air-cooled 911s of this period.
Accompanying the car are service records, a spare key, and the original build sheet, providing useful documentation of its history and factory configuration.
As a whole, this Carrera Cabriolet is a well-preserved, low-mileage example that presents a clear and honest representation of the mid-1980s 911—defined by its simplicity, usability, and enduring design.
