🏆 The "Last Analog Icon" Listing
Title: 2005 Porsche 911 (997) Cabriolet – Tastefully Modified & Fully Sorted Analog Driver
Forget the garage queens; this is the 911 you actually drive. If you know the 997.1, you know it’s the perfect blend of modern performance and that classic, analog "Coke bottle" 911 feel. This isn't just a car; it’s a fully sorted, driver-focused machine that has been maintained to outlast its lower-mileage peers.
🛠️ Key Mechanical Peace of Mind
• IMS Bearing & Clutch: The "Big Two" are done. While we’re letting the amazing pedal feel speak for itself, the IMS and Clutch were addressed together—eliminating the #1 worry for 997 owners.
• Recent Heavy Lifting: Just finished a fresh round of preventative maintenance, including an oil change, new plugs, wires, and coil packs. It runs and pulls like it has half the miles.
• Suspension: H&R lowering springs give it the aggressive, purposeful stance Porsche intended, while maintaining full factory PASM operation for on-the-fly comfort vs. sport tuning.
✨ Premium Enhancements
• HRE Wheels: A multi-thousand dollar upgrade that transforms the car's presence. Light, strong, and iconic.
• Modern Tech: Upgraded with an Apple CarPlay head unit—get the classic driving experience with 2026 connectivity and navigation.
• Highly Optioned: Features the Sport Chrono package and Cold Weather package (heated seats for those crisp top-down mornings).
đź“‹ Condition Notes
• 170k Miles & Counting: These engines are famously robust when driven and maintained.
• Fully Functional: The top and windows operate flawlessly. No "project car" headaches here.
• Chassis: All mechanicals remain stock to preserve that legendary Porsche reliability.
Why this is the "Best Deal Ever"
Most 997s at this price point are neglected "maintenance deferrers." This car has been loved, upgraded, and cleared of its major factory hurdles. You're getting $15k+ in wheels and suspension upgrades on a car that’s ready for a cross-country tour tomorrow.

Q & A
is there any engine or warning light present? 12/17/2025 11:33:11 AM
good morning. no engine or warning lights present at this time. 12/17/2025 12:00:35 PM
Has the IMS bearing ever been replaced or upgraded? 12/18/2025 11:28:28 AM
I do not have proof of it. I was told it was done at the same time as the clutch, which based on how the clutch feels, I believe it's been done …. and nobody does a clutch without an IMS bearing…. It's almost like doing the clutch and not the pilot bearing on a regular vehicle. Taking his word that it's been done and if it hasn't, it's not a current issue 12/18/2025 20:27:46 PM
Could you post a video of the car starting and running? 12/23/2025 14:18:51 PM
hello. video should be up and running . working on getting a new video tomorrow. 12/25/2025 19:30:36 PM

Has this vehicle ever been in an accident or had repair damage done? Are there any obvious issues I need to know about? 12/24/2025 12:13:16 PM
we are not aware of any accidents or damage. its my understanding the asset was resprayed (paint not requiring body work) in recent years as a matter of maintaining its appearance. 12/25/2025 19:42:35 PM
One more: Can you tell me what type of shape the top is in and does it work without issue? 12/24/2025 12:16:26 PM
top appears newer and operates as expected. 12/25/2025 19:40:39 PM
