Up for auction is this 1995 Porsche 993 Carrera Cabriolet finished in Black over a black interior. Representing the inaugural model year for the 993 generation, this 1995 example was purchased by the seller in 1996 at approximately 6k miles and has remained in California for nearly its entire life. It comes equipped with a Tiptronic 4-speed automatic transmission paired with an air-cooled 3.6L flat-six engine. Routine service was addressed through Beverly Hills Porsche for the first few years on the road with more recent maintenance carried out by Red Line Service, Aurel & Dons, and TRE Motorsports. Currently showing just over 54k miles on the odometer, this lifelong California car is now being offered for auction by its longtime owner out of Los Angeles.
This Carrera is finished in Black with a matching black cabriolet soft top that was replaced in 2012 along with the plastic rear window. The car has been garage kept throughout its life and the seller notes a small blemish on the front bumper from a license plate frame as well as a small chip repair on the windshield and some signs of road going wear on the front end. The right front fender is also said to have been refinished in 1999 following a minor cosmetic incident, additional images are provided in the photo gallery along with a clean CARFAX report. This Carrera rides on a set of 17” Cup 2 wheels finished in chrome with colored Porsche center crests. These wheels show some imperfections and come dressed in Hankook Ventus V12 Evo tires with date codes from 2012 and 2017.
Inside, you will find a black partial leather interior with power adjustable seats, air conditioning, cruise control, power mirrors, and power windows. An upgraded Alpine radio has been installed along with new door speakers and a high-end trunk-mounted McIntosh amplifier. The cabin is noted to have been well preserved and all gauges and accessories are reported to be fully functional.
This Carrera is equipped with an air-cooled 3.6 L flat-six engine rated at 272 HP and 243 lb.-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 4-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission which allows for a manual shifting mode. This 993 is said to have been serviced through Beverly Hills Porsche initially, followed by Red Line Service, and most recently Aurel & Dons of North Hollywood, California. The seller notes that the power steering rack assembly was replaced in 2012 by TRE Motorsports and there are no outstanding service items reported at this time.
This sale will include a set of two keys with remote fobs, a spare key, two toolkits, original owners manuals and extra books, a jack, spare tire, front bra, car cover, and a clean title. If you have been in search of an air-cooled cabriolet to enjoy top-down weather, this 1995 example is not to be missed.

@celotola - I have topped off the oil myself only a couple of times in the past decade. I don't recall the last time it needed to be done.
Hi Rick, what's the oil consumption like? Do you recall how often you top up the oil level?

Thank you PCarMarket team for uploading the new picture of the back bumper.
New content has been added to the listing.
@Adoptagreatpet - Thanks for looking at the car but there is NO crack below the back bumper.

I see a large crack slightly below the back bumper.
Am I seeing this correctly? Thank you. I am originally from Los Angeles; I left for NYC after college to take a job in politics/government. Depending where the bidding goes, I may bid. I would appreciate an answer to my question.

Nice car! Good luck with the sale. I love the Tips! For what it’s worth, I have a NOS factory steering wheel update kit for steering wheel shifting.

@celotola I'd be happy to meet you locally so you can see it in person. Maybe you can direct message me your number or email via the private comment feature and we can coordinate the viewing.
I live in LA and would love to see it in person if possible. Not sure how that can be arranged?
@nyucfsu Thank you for the nice comment about the car. I believe I posted a picture of some of the service records I have. There are more but frankly, it has been about 25 years, and I was not always diligent about keeping all of the records during that time.
@rickbloom Beautiful car. Do you have any service records and receipts you could post?
Hello, welcome and thank you for checking out this great car. I’m Rick, the owner. I have owned and cared for this beautiful 1995 Porsche 993 for the past 25 years. I love the car but I am moving from Southern California and will no longer have the space to keep the car in a garage. Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can help in any way. Thanks again for viewing. Rick
