The 996 generation of the Porsche 911, introduced in 1997, marked a pivotal moment in the Stuttgart marque's history. It was the first 911 to feature a water-cooled engine, a significant departure from the air-cooled tradition that had defined the model for over three decades. This bold engineering move allowed for increased power, improved emissions, and better packaging, paving the way for the 911's continued evolution into the 21st century. Despite initial purist resistance, the 996 proved its mettle, delivering the quintessential 911 driving experience with enhanced refinement and capability, all while maintaining the iconic silhouette. This 1999 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet, with its desirable 6-speed manual transmission, represents an engaging entry point into 996 ownership. Showing 67,000 original miles, this convertible retains its original paint and upholstery, a testament to its care over the years. The seller notes a clean Carfax with no accidents and a clean title, underscoring its solid provenance. All electronics, including the power top, windows, and lights, are fully functional, and the air conditioning blows cold, ensuring comfort on open-air drives. Running and driving great with no check engine lights, this 996 Cabriolet is poised for its next enthusiast owner to enjoy the thrill of a water-cooled manual 911.
