1999 Porsche 911 Carrera Convertible - Lapis Blue - 121,582km - 3.4L Flat-Six, Tiptronic Automatic
Open-top 911 ownership with documented IMS replacement, fresh soft top, ceramic coating and over $6,000 in recent mechanical spend.
Overview
The 996-generation Porsche 911 Carrera marked the beginning of a new era for the iconic rear-engine sports car. Launched in 1998 as the first all-new 911 platform in over two decades, the 996 brought water-cooled engineering, a completely modern interior and a wider, stiffer body to one of the world's most enduring driver's cars. This 1999 Carrera Convertible is the open-top version of that transition, combining the unmistakable 911 silhouette with the pleasure of alfresco motoring. Power comes from the 3.4-litre naturally aspirated horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine, paired with the Tiptronic automatic transmission and driving the rear wheels.
Finished in Lapis Blue with a matching navy soft top and grey leather interior, this is one of the more visually striking 996 combinations you will find. The vendor advises the vehicle has been ceramic coated, and the paint presents with excellent gloss and depth across all panels as seen in the photos. The IMS bearing, the well-known maintenance item on early water-cooled 911s, has been replaced, providing meaningful peace of mind for the next owner. The vendor also advises that more than $6,000 has been spent on a full air-conditioning system overhaul, covering the evaporator, compressor and cabin filter, and new front shock absorbers have been fitted. A new soft top completes the picture. Logbooks, service history and receipts for work completed are all present, vendor advises.
Inside, the grey leather cabin presents well for 121,582 kilometres. The front seats show honest age-appropriate wear, the dashboard is crack-free and the instrument cluster reads clearly. A Sony touchscreen head unit has been installed in place of the factory unit, adding Bluetooth and Apple CarPlay connectivity. The Tiptronic shifter, climate controls and window switches all function as they should. The front frunk provides useful luggage space, with the spare wheel kit and soft top storage bag present. The rear seats offer a practical 2+2 arrangement.
