This 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet is a first-generation 996 featuring a traditional cable-actuated throttle for its 3.4-liter flat-six engine as well as a 6-speed manual transmission sending power to the rear wheels. Finished in Ocean Blue Metallic over Savanna Beige upholstery, this example was configured with a limited-slip differential, power seats, Litronic headlights, and several exclusive options, including 18” SportDesign wheels, Dark Burr Maple interior appointments, stainless steel tailpipes and entry guards, aluminum-look instrument faces. This one-owner Carrera is now being offered for auction by the selling dealer out of Illinois with approximately 49k miles showing on the odometer.
This example comes finished in Ocean Blue Metallic (L3AZ) with a blue convertible soft top and features exclusively optioned stainless steel tailpipes and 18” SportDesign wheels with colored Porsche-crested center caps. Litronic headlamps with washers were also selected. Other factory equipment includes integrated front fog lights, a speed-activated rear spoiler, and dual exhaust outlets. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The cabin presents Savanna Beige leather upholstery featuring optional 8-way power-adjustable and heated seats with driver’s seat memory functions. Exclusive Dark Burr Maple accents were selected for the gear lever knob, handbrake lever, side air vents, defroster trim, speaker covers, center air vent bracket, dashboard trim strip, instrument surround, door panel parts, and steering wheel. Additionally, aluminum-look instrument faces, a leather-covered ignition lock surround, and stainless-steel door entry guards with model insignias were opted for. The seller notes light wear on the seats and carpet and adds that an optional wind deflector is included in the sale. A list of factory options provided by the seller is shown below:
Power is derived from a naturally aspirated 3.4-liter flat-six engine generating as much as 296 HP and 258 lb.-ft of torque. The rear wheels are driven by way of a 6-speed manual transmission and optional limited-slip differential. Other performance options include Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR) and an Automatic Braking Differential (ABD).
This sale will include a clean title.
The seller would like you to know: “The new water-cooled 911 was a shock to the system when introduced to the automotive world in 1997. Yet, today, it is obvious that the change was necessary, with the progression delivering all manner of fantastic and collectible Porsche sports cars over the past 25 years. On the leading edge of that revolution were cars like this 1999 911 Carrera Cabriolet. The Cabriolet was designed in concert with the Coupe, eliminating much of the potential harshness from the typical open-topped variant. What had shocked many just a few years earlier had turned into a sales success, with Porsche enthusiasts warming to the idea of a water-cooled 911 and ordering well-optioned examples like this one that features a wonderful options color combination, a six-speed manual transmission and 15 ‘X-Code’ optioned from Porsche Exclusive.”

@whatupgus We are actively answering any questions you may have thanks!
@NYD The seats appear to have been reupholstered prior to our purchase. The steering wheel seems to have been originally ordered in wood and someone changed it out to non wood.
No one's going to answer that question Itsoms
