| Owners Notes: |
This drop top was Porsche's® fist 911 based convertible as well as the Company's last production SC. It is quietly being coveted as a collectible for both of these reasons.
This particular Cab is loaded by even today's standards. Full factory spoilers, button laden stereo/cassette and a rare heated front windshield. It was most certainly needed as the car was delivered to the Denver Porsche dealer at the time. From there the second owner took it to Alaska and then Montana.
It was rescued from the deep freeze by the Taj the week Clinton was impeached. We can't tell you which we enjoyed more. The car was unloaded and warmed up to us immediately. We're betting Bill can't say that about "ole fat ankles," New York's carpet-bagging female Senator who couldn't get elected to dogcatcher in her native state.
Surprisingly with all the distance the Cabriolet has traveled it has only 9100 miles on the clock. It still rides on it's original rubber, albeit like a rock. But that depends on what your definition of what rock is-is.
