1997 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet – Special Order Showpiece in Arctic Silver This 1997 Porsche 911 (993) Carrera Cabriolet is a rare blend of classic air-cooled purity and exclusive, special-order flair. Originally finished in Arctic Silver Metallic (code L92U), this car was custom-built through Porsche’s Exclusive program with a dramatic interior upgrade: special-order Boxster Red full leather, including dash, center console, door panels, and plush carpets — a $3,700+ bespoke option that transforms the cabin into a truly unique space. Heavily optioned from the factory, this cabriolet showcases Porsche’s focus on refined performance. Highlights include: 3.6L flat-six engine with 282 horsepower 18″ Turbo Twist wheels and Bilstein PSS10 coilovers for a confident, tuned stance Aluminum instrument dials, shifter, and handbrake (X71, X97, X98) Motor Sound Package (code 159) 8-way power seats (437/438), supple leather front and rear (982), leather rear seats (939) Stainless steel door sills with model insignia (X70) and matching stainless tailpipes (X54) Cruise Control (454), air conditioning, dual airbags, and factory boot cover Additional enhancements include a Fabspeed exhaust system, ensuring this 993 drives as impressively as it looks. It also has an updated Porsche Classic Communication Management (PCCM), a modern infotainment system designed specifically for classic Porsche vehicles. It replaces the original factory radio with a unit that blends seamlessly with the vintage interior while offering modern technology. Original books and manuals are included, and the car boasts an excellent Carfax and outstanding paint and finish throughout. With its timeless color combination, factory-exclusive options, and air-cooled pedigree, this 993 Cabriolet stands out as a collector-grade example that’s equally at home on the concours lawn or canyon roads.
