Common questions
How much does a Porsche 911 Cabriolet cost?
A 1984 Porsche 911 Cabriolet cost $48,000 new. Over the past 12 months, 52 have sold publicly at a median of $60,000. The Shifty Estimate for a well-kept example is $82,400. Cars have changed hands anywhere from $37,510 to $94,760, depending on mileage, color, and history.
What is a 1984 Porsche 911 Cabriolet worth today?
The Shifty Estimate is $82,400, up 20.0% over the past 12 months. That sits above the $60,000 median of actual sales because the median counts every car that sold, including high-mileage examples, while the estimate describes a clean, low-mileage one bought today. Confidence is high: 52 public sales in a year gives a firm read.
Is a Porsche 911 Cabriolet a good investment?
It has appreciated 72% against its $48,000 list price. Values are up 20.0% over the past 12 months. The caution is spread, not direction: across the sales we have on file, prices ran from $10,500 to $445,000, and mileage explains most of that.

The 911 Carrera 3.2 Cabriolet represents Porsche's triumphant return to open-top motoring after a 20-year hiatus. Launched in 1984, it paired the beloved G-body silhouette with a fully-lined soft top that actually worked—a revelation after decades of Targa compromises. The 3.2-liter flat-six delivered 231 horsepower through Bosch Motronic fuel injection, offering genuine 911 performance without the complexity of turbocharging. Porsche built just over 23,000 examples through 1989, making it relatively rare compared to its coupe sibling. Today, clean examples command serious money, particularly late-production cars with the desirable G50 five-speed transmission introduced in 1987. The combination of air-cooled authenticity, drop-top versatility, and that unmistakable 911 driving experience makes these increasingly sought-after. Values have surged as collectors recognize this as the last of the truly analog 911 Cabriolets.
