This 1996 Porsche 911 Carrera cabriolet was registered with two owners in New York and Texas until 2015, when it was acquired by Marshall Goldman Motor Sales in Cleveland. The car was relocated to New Hampshire in 2016, where it was acquired by the current owner. Specified in Arena Red Metallic over gray supple leather upholstery, the car was optioned with 17″ Cup II alloy wheels, xenon headlights, a Nokia Digital Sound Processing, a Hi-Fi sound system, a wind deflector, and power-adjustable front seats. Powered by a 3.6-liter flat-six paired with a six-speed manual transaxle, the car is further equipped with a black soft top, cruise control, air conditioning, and a Porsche CR-210 cassette stereo. This 993 Carrera cabriolet shows 26k miles and is now offered by the seller on behalf of the owner with manufacturer’s literature, a tool kit, service records, a clean Carfax report, and New Hampshire registration in the owner’s name.
The car is finished in Arena Red Metallic (L84S) and features a power-retractable black soft top as well as headlight washers, xenon headlights, fog lights, power-adjustable mirrors, a speed-activated rear spoiler, a “basket handle” fixed rear spoiler with an integrated third brake light, and dual exhaust outlets. The top control module was repaired and an issue with the rear spoiler was addressed in 2022. The right-side headlight ballast assembly and the reverse light switch were replaced in December 2024. Paint protection film is present on the quarter panels. Photos of imperfections on the front end are viewable in the gallery below, along with paint meter readings.
Silver-finished 17″ Cup II wheels were mounted with staggered-width Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 tires in August 2026. Braking is handled by Porsche-branded calipers over cross-drilled rotors at all four corners.
The power-adjustable front seats are upholstered in gray supple leather and are complemented by a color-coordinated center console, door panels, and carpeting. The car was optioned with a Nokia Digital Sound Processing and a Hi-Fi sound system, and additional appointments include a Porsche CR-210 cassette stereo, cruise control, air conditioning, and Porsche-branded floor mats. A wind deflector will accompany the car.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation including a central tachometer with a 6,800-rpm redline, a 180-mph speedometer, an analog clock, and gauges for oil pressure, oil temperature, oil level, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 26k miles, and the seller estimates that approximately 2,500 miles were added under current ownership. The driver-side airbag was replaced in 2024.
The air-cooled 3.6L M64 flat-six features a VarioRam intake system and was factory rated at 282 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torque. An engine-out service in December 2024 included replacing assorted gaskets and oil seals, along with the timing chain rails, accessory drive belts, and spark plugs. The oil was most recently changed in February 2026.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transaxle.
Manufacturer’s literature, a tool kit, three keys, and partial service records are included in the sale.
