Enthusiasts on the hunt for an honest, low-mile air-cooled Porsche have a fresh reason to check their notifications: a striking 1989 911 Carrera Cabriolet with just 25,000 miles on the clock is currently listed for sale on Bring a Trailer, running as a no-reserve auction. Finished in a gorgeous Baltic Blue Metallic over Cashmere Beige leather, this G50-equipped cabriolet is shaping up to be one of the more desirable Carrera convertibles to cross the block this year.
According to the listing on Bring a Trailer, this Carrera was originally delivered to Scottsdale Porsche in Arizona and has been kept in remarkably clean condition ever since, with bidding already active and no reserve holding the price back. The seller includes the original window sticker and owner’s manual with the sale, a pair of details that go a long way toward confirming the story of a well-preserved, largely original example.
Under the rear decklid sits the beloved 3.2-liter flat-six, sending power to the pavement through a crisp G50 five-speed manual transaxle, exactly the combination that makes these later Carreras so satisfying to drive. Rolling stock consists of the correct 16-inch Fuchs alloy wheels wrapped in fresh Continental tires, while four-wheel disc brakes keep everything in check. Full mechanical specifications and additional underside photos can be found on the Bring a Trailer auction listing.
Slide inside and the Cashmere Beige leather with blue piping sets a warm, inviting tone, complemented by power-adjustable front seats, a short shifter, cruise control, and a HiFi sound system for long top-down drives. The VDO instrumentation, anchored by a tachometer with a 6,300-rpm redline and a 170-mph speedometer, rounds out a cabin that feels every bit as special as the exterior. A full interior photo gallery is available on the Bring a Trailer listing for anyone wanting a closer look.
Backing up the presentation is a clean Carfax report showing no accidents or damage, along with multiple service history records that should give bidders real confidence in the car’s condition. With bidding still active and no reserve in place, this Carrera cabriolet represents a rare chance to acquire a well-documented, low-mile G50 drop-top without a minimum price hurdle. Interested collectors can review the full listing, ask the seller a question, or place a bid directly on Bring a Trailer before the auction closes.
