Highlights

- Recent engine overhaul
- Recent full paintwork detail
- Stand-out yellow with contrasting black features
The Appeal
The 997 didn’t mess with a proven formula, but for many enthusiasts it did make it better. Returning the classic 911 headlamps and retro-themed interior were signs that the new car was more nimble and more powerful than the car it replaced.
It was the first 911 to be built around the convertible body style. That makes the drop top as rigid and robust as the coupes and so just as engaging to drive.
This Gen 1 997 convertible definitely stands out with its yellow paintwork and contrasting black trim and wheels. A recent engine overhaul addresses any concerns related to these engines while a paintwork detail only brightens its brightest of finishes. With low miles and versatile Tiptronic gearbox, this is a 997 that is as welcoming as the summer sun its paintwork replicates.
