Succeeding the 911 SC, Porsche introduced the final comprehensive remodel of the original 911 in 1984. The Carrera, priced at DM 68.990, retained the instantly recognizable “G-Body” silhouette of its predecessor while increasing the displacement of its horizontal flat-six-cylinder engine to 3.2 liters. A claimed 80 percent of the power unit's internals were completely new, allowing it to produce 207 PS, propelling the Carrera from zero to 100 km/h in about 6.0 seconds—very close to the Turbo's 5.4-second sprint to 100 km/h. Also new was Bosch Motronic fuel injection replacing its predecessor's K-Jetronic system, further improving the overall refinement and reliability of the new 911. Porsche offered the Carrera in three body styles: Coupe, Targa, and Cabriolet—the open-topped Cabriolet being the most expensive naturally aspirated model—with no shortage of luxurious standard amenities.

This Italian-market “C07” 911 3.2 Carrera Cabriolet hails from the penultimate model year of the classic G-Modell body type. As is well-known among Porsche aficionados, the final three years of the model's series production (1987-1989) featured the smooth-shifting G50 gearbox—a marked improvement over the venerable 915 gearbox which had been in use since 1972. It left the factory in the stunning and rarely seen color combination of Marine Blue Metallic over a color-coordinated Marine Blue interior with highly desirable Porsche-script cloth seats and a Blue soft top. Factory-fitted options included 16-inch forged Fuchs wheels, Air Conditioning, Graduated Tint Windshield, stronger 88Ah battery, and electric operation of the Cabriolet top.

Service records, inspections, and its ASI Certificate of Identity remain on file from its time in Italy. According to its Belgian Car-Pass inspection sheet, the Carrera Cabriolet remained in Italy for until 2016 with just over 130,000 kilometers traveled. While under Belgian ownership, the Marine Blue Metallic 911 has seen significant servicing, most notably in 2023 from Porsche specialist Van Audenhoven. A two-page invoice totaling just over €10.000 from May of that year records the comprehensive service at 137,050 km that included fresh fluids (engine oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid) and filters, new shock absorbers, a brake caliper overhaul with new discs all supplemented by numerous associated parts. Impressively, just under 1,000 km have been added to the car since the completion of the work.

This attractive example of Zuffenhausen's most popular model is coveted by Porsche enthusiasts for its classic lines and air-cooled performance. While debates between Coupe, Targa, and Cabriolet will forever persist, few experiences rival a classic 3.2-liter 911 Cabriolet, top down on a clear day, offering one of the most engaging and evocative drives in the automotive world.
