1987 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet

Tony’s Take: A 1987 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet is a generally appealing proposition. This one dazzles/offends, depending on how you view those Rothman’s Gold staggered-width 17″ Hot Fikse Wheels. As for the obvious red flag – “Potential odometer rollback indicated” – YouTuber Ryfips asserts that the Carfax mileage warning was “a clerical error” – a mistranslation from miles to kilometers during a service. The math back him up. Anyway, even if the black/black Porker is arrow-straight and unmolested, there’s a value issue: ’87 Turbos are four-speeds.

It’s not a deal breaker, but the Turbo Cab five-speed that hit the streets in ’89 is the more desirable model amongst the Porsche cognoscenti. A few years ago, I sold an all-original five-speed Turbo Cab with 31k (genuine) miles on the clock for $155k. This ain’t that. With four days left, the expat German-American has someone interested at $100k. At $110k, sure. It’s a German hot rod. More than that? Pass. Downside: as above.
