Description

(SOLD) This particular 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet shows why the 993 is still so revered by Porschephiles the world over. Blessed with the striking looks that took Porsche showrooms by storm two decades ago, this machine passed its emissions testing in June 2017. The 3.6L 270 HP flat 6-cylinder engine recently underwent a valve-cover gasket servicing and is backed by a 6-speed manual transmission that proved its mettle over time by becoming one of the favorite gearboxes to ever grace a Porsche. Stopping power in a performance sports car like the 911 is critically important, and these brakes were recently serviced. This canyon carver rolls on newer Bridgestone Potenza Sport tires wrapping optional 17-inch, 5-spoke Cup II wheels complete with Porsche-crest center caps. The shimmering metallic Polar Silver paint is well complemented by an interior of Classic Gray and a newer Metropol Blue cloth soft top that lends this machine a unique Germanic appearance that manages to appeal to all the right senses. This Porsche 911 is further equipped with heated seats, a wind screen, power windows, Porsche floor mats, cruise control, automatic air conditioning, leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated power-adjustable mirrors and a power-operated rear spoiler. Perfect for using occasionally and preserving, or even daily use, this Porsche presents a unique opportunity to acquire one of the most desirable 911s ever built. Includes numerous receipts for service work performed on the car,

History

Known as the Type 993, the 1994-98 Porsche 911 models were the last of the legendary air-cooled Porsches and have subsequently become some of the most desirable examples of the vaunted 911 line. For some hardcore air-cooled fans of Stuttgart, the 993 represented the last true 911s ever built, with the subsequent water-cooled models representing a new era with a suite of technological breakthroughs that are quite foreign to Stuttgart’s original analog rear-engine concept.
