We’ve been compiling some amazing Porsche models on the internet for over five years now, and we’ve seen some pretty astonishing examples pop up now and again. This week we’re feeling ready for summer, so we’re featuring a slew of drop-top Porsches! Hopefully you’ve enjoyed our “curated” look at the Porsche market. Keep in mind, some of these Porsches could be great collection investments, while others might prove to do more financial harm than good.

Every other week, we feature 5 of our favorite Porsches for sale.

Otherwise, feel free to check out all the other eBay listings we have on our Porsches for sale pages.
1. 1987 PORSCHE 911 Turbo Slant Nose Cabriolet FOR SALE
Among the most rare Porsche models ever created, the Turbo Cabriolet was only available for 1987-89 model years, and fewer than two thousand were sold for worldwide consumption. Of those, only a small fraction were fitted with the 505 option code for slant nose bodywork. This is one of those collector-grade cars with just 67,000 miles that is just begging for a true enthusiast to make a bid. This is a car that deserves to be driven to and from car shows, concours, and the occasional bomb down an empty back country road. With interest in the 80s and 90s only continuing to blossom, this slant cab will only continue to be worth more in the coming years.

2. 1995 PORSCHE 968 Cabriolet FOR SALE
With a giant 3-liter twin-cam four-cylinder engine, the 968 is an absolute joy to drive, even if it doesn’t sound as melodic as any of its 911 siblings. This 60,000 mile example would be an excellent summer daily driver, or weekend warrior. This is the last of the hand-built Porsches, and deserves a place in any collection of fun drivers. This is another pretty rare car, as fewer than 4000 examples were produced from 1993-1995. It’s still got all the hallmarks of Porsche’s excellent transaxle cars, including exquisite handling, but you can throw the top back for a nice summer evening cruise.

3. 1965 PORSCHE 356C Cabriolet FOR SALE
Unlike 911s, Porsche 356s are most valuable when the top goes down. While 911 Cabs are still seen as undesirable, a 356 Cab will only be exceeded in value by a special drop top Speedster, Roadster, or Convertible D. Personally, I like the Cabriolet models better as the windshield surround is still integrated into the bodyshell, and is painted in body color for a nice accent. This 1965 model is the last of the 356 line, and includes disc brakes at all four wheels. This is an incredible weekend driver, and the Champagne Yellow color just pops so well. Of the five here, this is the one I’d most want to drive home.

4. 1990 PORSCHE 944 S2 Cabriolet FOR SALE
Like the 968 Cabriolet above, this late 944 S2 Cabriolet has the same 3-liter twin-cam engine but without variable valve timing. It’s got a few extra miles on it, with a total sitting at about 95,000, but these cars will run essentially forever if they are maintained. I love this gorgeous deep merlot wine color of the exterior, and it melds perfectly with the maroon interior and tan convertible top. This is a very rare combination, and it looks extremely good to my eyes.

5. 2009 PORSCHE 911 Turbo Cabriolet FOR SALE
Perhaps the best daily driver grade Porsche of all time is the 997-generation Turbo. This is the pre-facelift model with the old Mezger engine before they moved to the current generation of DFI Turbo. This example is painted in a beautiful and rare Malachite Green Metallic paint, and that works so well with the tan interior. I’m not 100% sold on the cocoa convertible top, but it could work in the right climate. This is a ten year old car with only 14,500 miles on it, so it will have plenty of life left, and you could drive this for ages without ever getting bored or uncomfortable. Excellent choice.
