    Original owner (neighbor) is parting with his beloved '87 Factory M491 Cabriolet with the even more rare 470 option (Whale-Tail/Spoiler delete).

    Option 900- Tourist Factory Delivery car. He toured the factory, drove it in Germany on the Autobahn for a week (factory removed the Catalytic for a more spirited experience while there), and re-installed it before leaving Porsche for the boat awaiting to take it to its then new home in Southern California where it's been since.


    - Records/Receipts From Day ONE
    - Original European Delivery Paperwork
    - 1 of 58 M491/470 Cabio's Produced In '87
    - 73,000 Original & Accident-Free Miles
    - "Guards Red" (L80K) with Extremely Rare Special Ordered Navy Blue Leather Interior (TP)
    - Power Blue Canvas Convertible Top
    - Automatic Speed Control (454)
    - Chromed Staggered Fuchs Wheels
    - 3.2L F6 Engine
    - 5-Speed G50 Transmission
    - Serviced By Same Mechanic (ex-factory Porsche driver Wayne Baker) in San Diego For Past 25+ Years
    - Blaupunkt Reno Radio (currently has upgraded Kenwood)
    - New Pirelli Tires Installed In December 2016
    - VIN: WP0EB0918HS171820


    This car is a true show-stopper for any 80's 911 Enthusiast.
    Paint it 90% original. A spot about size of a softball was sprayed back in the early '90's on passenger-side rear fender due to a scratch. It was matched VERY well. I have a good eye and cannot tell.

    Can't confirm, but with most in the Tan or Black interiors, this could be the only one with Navy interior(!)

    Understandably, he would really like this car to go to a good home. True pride of ownership.

    Dear goodness that thing is clean. I'm OCD as heck on my 911 engine compartment and am now in a mild panic to break out the Simple Green and toothbrushes. Nice detailing, super rare bird there.

    Off topic-ish: You can get modern Bosch injectors, a nicely safe modern chip, and gentle exhaust mod to bump these to a hair under then-current Turbo power with none of the fuss and complexity. Whole deal will run you < $1500. Did it on mine and transformed driving. Or can stay fully stock and still love it!

    Best wishes to this car finding a good home.

    Thank you for the comments A! Yes, it's hard to believe it even has 73,000 miles. The owner is meticulous.
