This Carrera comes finished in Polar Silver Metallic (L92M) and rides on factory 17” Cup 2 wheels with optional colored Porsche crest caps and new Continental Extreme Contact tires.

The cabin is trimmed in Midnight Blue partial leather with matching carpets and floor mats.

For the 1996 model year, the 993 Carrera was given an upgraded Varioram induction system which increased the output of the 3.6L flat-six engine up to 282 HP. This example features a 6-speed manual transmission that drives the rear wheels along with an optional limited-slip differential and Automatic Braking Differential (ABD). The original stamped service book will accompany the sale showing a delivery inspection in November of 1996 as well as service from Chambers Motor Cars of Boston in 1999 and 2005.

@Winthrop10 Yes
The window sticker was partially unreadable. Does it have power steering?
@ProducerJohn that’s fair, thanks!
@benjafarres I don't think it's ethical to make auction predictions in the comments of the car in question. That said, 993's seem to be sky rocketing in value.
@ProducerJohn where do you think this auction end?
Long way to go!

I did read the description but the description is lacking. It does not indicate whether it was a respray or a full repaint, and one cannot tell whether it was a good quality respray because there is no paint depth measurement provided in the description.
Please upload paint meter readings when you receive the paint meter.
Thank you. Yes it truly is and the last of the air cooled cars. They will only go higher. Why wait life is short and bid in confidence. It’s like ocean properly they don’t make anymore of it.
@porsche_dreamer Only paperwork is what’s on the carfax and a few stamps for serving from herb chambers from Ma. We also are a Porsche set use facility and we have gone through the vehicle. Please read the description
@porsche_dreamer No leaks. Please check on the paint in the description. My paint meter broke and have a new one coming. My apologies
@porsche_dreamer I don’t have a paint meter. Have one on order as my old one broke. Please look at the description that was written about that
@TyStav No issues there. No codes etc.
Bid in the amount of $15,000
Do you have paint meter readings and maintenance records?
Are there any leaks?
Bid in the amount of $10,000
Any check engine light issues from the secondary air injection system? Thanks!
Bid in the amount of $5,000
@Ricster65 It's a beautiful car. I had a '95. Wish I still did!
