THE RIENZI REPORT
1990 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Cabriolet — 26K Miles, One Owner, Red/Black
⚠️ Time Capsule. No Stories. No Excuses.
This is the kind of car that doesn’t come around twice.
A 1990 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 Cabriolet — one-owner, 26,000 original miles, in Guards Red over Black with a clean Carfax and factory Tiptronic. The paint is believed to be original. The car has been preserved, not restored. Properly garaged. Never abused. This is the air-cooled Porsche you tell your friends you wish you bought five years ago.
🧠 Why It Matters
The 964 marked a turning point for the 911: modern drivability with old-school engineering. The Carrera 2 is the purest form of that evolution — rear-wheel-drive, clean lines, lighter, and simpler. No front diff. No added weight. Just the shape, the feel, and the soul of the original 911 taken to the edge of the analog era.
In today’s market, originality and documentation matter more than drivetrain. This car checks every box that seasoned collectors look for: mileage, ownership, color, and condition.
📈 The Market Says Yes
Values across the 964 lineup continue to rise, but low-mile, well-preserved C2 Cabriolets like this are hard to find. This example features Porsche’s first-generation Tiptronic transmission — perfect for open-top cruising, weekend drives, or buyers seeking effortless usability without compromising the vintage Porsche experience.
For investors, this is a strategic play. For enthusiasts, it’s the right car to enjoy now and brag about later.
