Provenance:
This stunning 1998 Porsche 911 Carrera S (993 C2S) represents one of the final and most desirable iterations of the air-cooled 911. Originally delivered by Southpointe Porsche in Sarasota, Florida, to its first owner in November 1997 with just 29 miles, this example has led an exceptionally pampered and documented life.
It remained with its original owner for approximately sixteen years before changing hands and later being listed by Canepa in early 2014 showing just 3,606 miles. Prior to that sale, it received a full service at Porsche Newport Beach at 3,400 miles, with records included. The car was subsequently sold to its next owner in Houston, Texas, where it stayed until May 2024, accumulating only 5,343 miles. Since then, it has been driven gently and regularly—just enough to keep every system properly exercised.
Cosmetically, the Arctic Silver paint retains a deep, glossy finish, and the Classic Gray leather interior remains supple, rich, and free from dryness or wear. Every surface and switch feels tight and precise, a reminder of Porsche’s craftsmanship at its peak. The air conditioning blows ice cold, and the car delivers the tactile, analog experience that defines the final chapter of the air-cooled era.
Mechanically, this C2S stands out for its exceptional health. A recent compression and leakdown test performed by Jon Fricker Automotive in July 2025 returned outstanding and consistent results of 205–210 psi compression with just 1–2% leakdown across all cylinders—confirming a perfectly sealed, strong engine that performs as new.
This is a collector-grade example that checks every box: provenance, presentation, and mechanical excellence. It captures everything enthusiasts love about the 993…the purity of design, the build quality, and the unmistakable driving feel. Whether as a centerpiece in a collection or a cherished driver, this 993 C2S is a beautifully preserved piece of Porsche history.
