A Fully Documented Porsche Cabriolet

This 2-owner Porsche has all of its service records, beginning with the Window Sticker and continuing through to the present.  This is the type of history that documents the car from new, providing assurance that regular maintenance was faithfully performed.  For those of you who like to decode vehicles, the VIN is:  WPOCA2995VS341252. 

In addition to its near-perfect Arena Red finish, the car has a dealer-installed Porsche Aero Kit and highly desirable 18” 3-piece polished Speedline Wheel option.  You won’t find a better looking ’97 C-2 Cabriolet unless your local dealership has an unsold hold-over! 

An Eye Popper 

·        Paint and Trim 

The first thing that jumps out about this Porsche is its lustrous Arena Red finish—a rarer but prettier color than the Guards Red that was found on many Porsches.  The paint has a couple of pebble chips on the front that you have to look carefully to see making the paint a 9.5 on a 10 point scale.  The color, combined with the Aero Kit features (front spoiler and rear whale tail) and special wheels, make this a car that everyone is immediately attracted to. 

·        Convertible Top

The black canvas top is the perfect complement to the body color, and the top is in excellent condition, as is the rear window.  The top was replaced, along with the operating mechanism, approximately 18 months ago.  As one would expect, the top raising/lowering mechanism works flawlessly making it a pleasure to “drop the top” on this convertible. 

·        Wheels/Tires 

The three-piece polished Speedline wheels have “Z” speed rated tires—225-40 ZR18 on the front and 285-30ZR18 on the rear.  The rear tires are brand new and the front tires are in excellent condition. 

·        Interior 

 

This convertible has tan leather seats that have the patina of a classic Porsche without any rips, separations or tears in the leather.  The black headliner is in very good condition, as is the convertible top boot cover. 

·        Engine 

The 1997 model year for Porsche featured the final year of the sought-after air-cooled engines.  This C-2 starts immediately, idles properly, and runs like the wind with its 6-cylinder 282 hp 3.6 liter engine.   

·        Transmission 

The 6-speed manual transmission is in perfect working order.  It up-shifts and down-shifts easily and is the perfect mate for this popular sports car. 

As Expected:  Everything Works 

This Porsche is best defined as “what you would expect” from a well-maintained car.  All of the safety equipment (lights, turn signals, horn, wipers, seat  belts work properly. All of the convenience items (dual 8-way power seats, sound system, electric power top, climate control) work as they should.  All that appears a bit reluctant after 79,924 miles—probably because it is rarely used—is the right outside mirror to adjust inward. 

A Great Example of the Porsche Legend 

This car has it all: great looks, popular options and legendary performance.  If the looks of this car don’t impress you, its performance will!  This is a perfect car for a trip to the mountains, a day at the country club or just an enjoyable drive with the top down.  And yet, the driver is confident that rumbling behind you is an exciting powertrain that will out-perform anything in its class.
