We are pleased to present this very unique 1997 Porsche 993 Carrera 4S finished in Arctic Silver Metallic over a rare Nephrite Green Special Leather interior. Among the most desirable air-cooled cars of all time, the 993 Carrera 4S combines naturally aspirated performance with the wide bodywork and styling of the Turbo model. This one-owner 1997 example comes handsomely equipped with an array of factory Exclusive options including Aerokit front and rear spoilers, leather-edged floormats, Light Rootwood shifter and handbrake levers, aluminum instrument dials, hardback Sport Seats, and Sport Suspension (030). The seller notes that a full service was completed through Porsche of Fairfield in preparation for sale along with the installation of new tires. With just over 15k miles showing on the odometer, this very nicely appointed 993 is now being offered for auction by its second owner out of Connecticut.
This 993 is finished in Arctic Silver Metallic shares its wide bodywork with the Turbo model. It has also been factory fitted with Exclusive Aerokit front and rear spoilers as well as chrome oval exhaust tips specific to the optional Motor Sound Package. This C4S said to have been garage kept from new and only driven under ideal weather conditions. The factory-applied paint protective film remains in place and the seller describes some small scratches on the lower front spoiler, detailed images are provided in the photo gallery along with a clean CARFAX report. Red Turbo-spec brake calipers show through the factory 18” Turbo Twist wheels which have been recently dressed in new Michelin tires.
Inside, you will find a very rare Nephrite Green Special Leather interior highlighted by optional hardback Sports Seats with Porsche crested headrests. The Nephrite Green upholstery extends to the dashboard, door panels, carpeting, and Exclusive leather-edged floor mats. Other factory features include Exclusive aluminum instrument dials, a Light Rootwood shifter and handbrake lever with aluminum inlays, cruise control, a HiFi 10-speaker sound system, and an electric sliding sunroof. Gemballa pedal covers have been installed and the seller notes that the cabin to have been very well preserved with the original CR-210 radio remaining in place. All gauges and accessories are said to be fully functional.
Among the last of the air-cooled 911's, this Carrera 4S is equipped with a 3.6L flat-six Varioram engine that sends 282 HP to all four wheels through a 6-speed manual transmission. The optional Motor Sound Package was equipped from the factory which adds a more resonant airbox and louder mufflers. The desirable Sport Suspension option (030) also adds firmer shock absorbers, springs, and anti-roll bars. The seller notes that a 15k-mile service was completed through Porsche of Fairfield in June of 2021 which included oil and filter changes, a brake fluid flush, a new battery, and the installation of four new tires.
This sale will include a set of three keys with one remote fob, a toolkit, spare tire, air compressor, and a clean title. Sporting an outstanding color combination while showcasing many rare and desirable factory options, this low-mileage Carrera 4S is certainly one of the most special 993’s on the road.

This is such a gorgeous looking 993 C4S. This color combo interior with the factory hardback sports seats with Nephrite Green Interior and factory Aerokit and with super low miles, to say the least is exceptionally rare and very hard to come by. This beauty has absolutely all the desirable factory options everyone is looking for in a wide body 993 with very low miles. Good luck to all bidders.
Paint readings don't seem unusual to me. 4-5.5 mils is standard for original hand painted 993 paint. I'd be concerned 6+, not thinner

Bid in the amount of $95,000
@1Stately1 Clear was on rear wheel well fenders.
@momotime The clear was on the rear window wells 993 when I purchased in March 1998.
@momotime My 993 has not been painted.
The few chips and abrasions are minor.
@artichoke I am the second owner and I have driven it briskly at times. I love it’s quick accelerating and It’s handling.
In 1997 I saw a Porsche television commercial showing just how great this car is .
The commercials last power punchline slogan was “STICKS TO THE ROAD LIKE PEANUT BUTTER STICKS TO THE ROOF OF YOUR MOUTH “ .
I just had to buy this my favorite Porsche
Please advise of ANY non original paintwork and the level of stone chips and abrasions on the paint Also when was the clear bra added? Many thanks
Gorgeous car! Any idea why so little mileage for a 1 owner car? I have one with an unusual interior color as well, (Rubicon Gray - aka purple). Mine has 122k on it and I've owned it for 23 years. 993's are particularly negatively sensitive to just puttering around, (RPM under 3,000), so it's important that the car has been driven briskly.
@KvN Thank you
