This is, without a doubt, a Porsche-lover’s Porsche. MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to present this 1988 Jubilee Edition Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet. It is one of 100 examples exported to the United States.
Made on September 18, 1987, in Stuttgart Zuffenhausen, Germany, this car was once displayed in the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart. It left the factory with the following options – Blaupunkt “Reno” radio, shorter gearshift lever, electric cabriolet top, no rear model designation, supple leather seats and Pirelli tires.
Dressed in its original Diamond Blue Metallic paint (code F5), black electric folding cabriolet top, they are in excellent overall condition. The windows are in very good shape, clear and blemish-free, as are the vehicle’s lights, which are intact and clear. This car rides on very good Pirelli P6000 195/65R15 tires, on color-keyed 15-inch Fuchs wheels. The body panels are straight and solid and look fantastic, including the black, electric folding cabriolet top, the engine bay is quite tidy and the bumpers are in great shape.
Under the hood is Porsche’s 3.2L flat six-cylinder engine, buttoned to a five-speed manual transmission. Driver assist features include power steering and power brakes.
Inside, the Diamond Blue Raff leather interior (code RZ) looks great, including the leather bucket seats, complete with the hand-stitched autograph of Dr. Ferdinand Porsche on the headrests. The silver carpet looks great, and the black instrument panel is in great shape, complete with full complement of VDO gauges. The factory, four-spoke steering wheel is present and looks good and the inner door panels look great, too. The mirror glass and shift lever are both in overall good condition. Completing the interior is the Blaupunkt “Reno” AM/FM stereo with CD player.
In 1988, Porsche unveiled the “Commemorative Edition” Carrera (also called the Jubilee Edition) to celebration the 250,000th 911. Debuting at the Frankfurt Auto Show in 1963, Porsche built only 875 of these Jubilee 911 cars, exporting 100 to the United States. Jubilee car owners received some very unique and recognizable features – shorter gearshift lever, electric cabriolet folding top and more. A Diamond Blue Metallic exterior was standard, with matching, color-keyed 15-inch Fuchs wheels and Diamond Blue Raff leather interior, complete with the hand-stitched autograph of Dr. Ferry Porsche on the headrests.
Car had its 60,000-mile service performed by Porsche Cars North America’s Classic Center in Atlanta, Georgia.
The Porsche 911 was developed as a much more powerful, larger, more comfortable replacement for the Porsche 356. The new car made its public debut at the 1963 Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung, better known to English speakers as the Frankfurt Motor Show.
It was initially designated as the "Porsche 901", after its internal project number. However, Peugeot protested on the grounds that in France it had exclusive rights to car names formed by three numbers with a zero in the middle. So, instead of selling the new model with another name in France, Porsche changed the name to 911. It went on sale in 1964.
Mechanically, the 911 was notable for being rear-engined and air-cooled. From its inception, the 911 was modified both by private teams and the factory itself for racing, rallying and other types of automotive competition. The original 911 series is often cited as the most successful competition car ever, especially when its variations are included, mainly the powerful 911-derived 935 which won 24 Hours of Le Mans and other major sports cars races outright against prototypes.
This car is currently located at our facility in St. Louis, Missouri. Current mileage on the odometer shows 58,185 miles. It is sold as is, where is, on a clean and clear, mileage exempt title. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!!
