Build Sheet Highlights
The factory build information confirms that this Boxster was produced on April 6, 1998*at the Uusikaupunki Valmet Plant and was configured for the United States market. Its original MSRP was $44,325, and the combination of Black paint with Boxster Red Special Leather gives this early 986 a particularly striking period-correct Porsche specification.
