We are pleased to offer this 1998 Porsche 993 Carrera S finished in Black over a black leather interior. Among the most sought-after air-cooled cars of all, the 993 Carrera S was produced in limited numbers featuring the wide bodywork of the Turbo model along with a naturally aspirated flat-six engine sending power to the rear wheels. This final-year 1998 example was sold new from a Porsche dealer in New Jersey with rare and highly desirable options including Aerokit Turbo II spoilers, the Aluminum/Chrome Package, 18” hollow-spoke wheels, red-painted brake calipers, Racing Style Sport Seats with deviated stitching and Porsche crested headrests, a rear model designation delete, limited-slip differential, and a shifter, handbrake lever, and steering wheel trimmed in carbon fiber. Acquired by the current owner in 2003 at just 8k miles, this outstanding 993 Carrera S has been beautifully preserved, upgraded with factory Sports Suspension, and is now being offered for auction out of North Carolina with just over 11,500 miles showing on the odometer.
This Carrera S comes finished in Black and sports factory Exclusive Aerokit Turbo II front and rear spoilers as well as an optional rear model designation delete. Oval chrome-plated tailpipes are also included with the Aluminum/Chrome Package. Genuine Turbo S front brake ducts have been installed and the seller has offered to reinstall the original foglight inserts per the next owner’s request. The car is described to have been very well cared for, being sparingly driven and spending nearly its entire life in climate-controlled storage. A collection of detailed images can be found in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report. Factory Exclusive red-painted brake calipers can be seen behind the optional lightweight 18” Technology hollow-spoke wheels derived from the 993 Turbo. These wheels come dressed in a set of Bridgestone Potenza S-02 tires which are dated from 2013 and are said to bear less than 1k miles of use.
Inside, this 993 features a black leather interior highlighting a pair of factory hardback Racing Style Sport Seats with Exclusive deviated red stitching and Porsche crested headrests. Other special features include deviated red seatbelts and a shift knob, brake handle, and steering wheel trimmed in carbon fiber. The Aluminum/Chrome Package also includes aluminum-look instrument dials as well as stainless-steel door entry guards with model logos. Driver amenities include Litronic Xenon headlamps, cruise control, a sound system with Porsche/Becker CDR-210 radio, and a power sliding sunroof. The seller describes the cabin to be remarkably well preserved and confirms all gauges and accessories remain fully functional.
Among the very last of the air-cooled 911s, this 993 Carrera S features a 3.6L flat-six Varioram engine that sends as much as 282 HP to the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual transmission with an optional limited-slip differential and Automatic Braking Differential (ABD). The seller states that a genuine factory Sport Suspension (M030) setup has been installed, giving this 993 a firmer and more responsive ride. Under the current ownership, this 993 has been treated to proper upkeep including annual oil and filter changes as well as bi-annual brake fluid flushes. The seller reports that the original suspension will accompany the sale and bears approximately 8k miles of use.
This sale will include the original window sticker, owner's manuals, a set of keys, toolkit, air compressor, jack, car cover, service records, the original suspension, and a clean title. With its low miles and rare factory options, this beautifully presented final-year 993 Carrera S is a Porsche collector’s dream come true.

WOW !!
Insane 993 market !!!
Congratulations Buyer and especially ( I'm sure ) Seller !
Thank you everybody for your support. You will see this car outside of my garage. If you are a magazine, or "The Getawayer" (pure gasoline culture!) please contact Pcarmarket so that we can get you a test drive. Concours quality or not, I will NEVER be that guy who just sits there, roosting on his garage-queen.
@mflanigan88 never said he wasn't.. and so was my offer to him..
Congratulations Rich!! You were an awesome custodian of a very special 993 C2S.
C2S prices are catching up to the Turbos
@L39E thought so.. no problem enjoy ur 7 993 cars pal
Awesome! Congratulations :)
Well bought, well sold. Congratulations to both parties.
Sold for $229,000
@nosubstitute4porsche thanks for the offer, I’m all set though. I’m just here to enjoy this auction, WELL bought to the buyer this car is incredible.
Very nice turnout. This car will certainly double in due time!
@bphillyer WELL DONE! ONE OF THE BEST 993 EVER !
@L39E crickets!!
@L39E ummhmmm sure you dont... but I do and to call ur bluff I will give you free storage for 5 years in my conditioned warehouse in northeast pa or Monterey ca. your choice
Bid in the amount of $229,000
@nosubstitute4porsche lol bud I don’t have room for a 7th 993
Bid in the amount of $228,000
@L39E hahaha riiiiight u would
This is still a bargain. It is nearly impossible to find one in this condition and the spec on this car is incredible. If I did not have a nearly identical black aero kit 97 C4S (more carbon, no sunroof, 5x the miles) I would be all over this.
and the gloves are off!!!
Bid in the amount of $227,000
@bphillyer we are not sure what you mean, the bid price is shown at the bottom of the screen as well in the comment/bid thread on the listing.

@CScrogham I couldn't afford one at $125 either
Concours caliber cars require Concours caliber money
Laurier, btw car is beautiful. why may we ask are you selling it?
Bid in the amount of $224,000
If no one said it yet... you'll be hard-pressed to find those original race seats separate from the car if you get regular 993 seats and want to upgrade. The winner will be very happy I think!
@SpeedJunky just mad he sold one when they were $125

@bphillyer That's the great thing about these Porsches, you can rack up the miles and it's all good. I take mine out usually at night or weekends just to avoid the heavy traffic and crazy drivers.

@bphillyer Love it. Even if you drive it for many years - it will still be a very LOW mileage example. Good Luck - I hope u win this one
@blazingstarz Never know who’s gonna come in and demolish us desperate, re-mortgage-the- house, kids-outta the-nest guys. If I get it, you WILL see it out and about. Life’s too short, and Time is everything - no garage-queens here. Any magazine that wants to test it would be welcome, and The Getawayer gets to drive it whenever he wants!
I thought it was going to come down to two bidders JJensen and bphillyer but it looks like a ddisiere popped up just in time. I know I would not let go of mine unless maybe $30k more than this spec since it's a more rare spec although higher miles and I paid a record price back then. This will definitely be a nice collection piece for the winner!

Record price on the horizon. This vehicle is well worth it. Well done @Laurier911
@Laurier911 @Laurier911Thank you, kindly, Mr. Laurie. Great to hear.
This car is simply amazing and a big thank you to the current owner for their stewardship of this special car. Well done and congratulations to whoever wins.
Bid in the amount of $192,000
I have been a PCA concours judge for over 25 years and the car has many Chicago region awards as well as division PCA Parade awards.

@Laurier911 Where’d you show it? You’ve taken such beautiful care of the car.
@sportscarguy3 The 1996 twin-turbo you speak of is such an amazing car! I can feel how you would miss driving it. For me, of the all-time 911 greats, models like your old 993 twin-turbo, and of course, the rare GT-2’s...any of these last air-cooled variants brings a welcome note to the ear!
Sorry, no longer have the concours sheets.
@bphillyer pretty sure there are, if it were my car would be very happy to share as I recall it won some awards along the way
@CScrogham ARE there concours records to view? I would love to see those!
@stuttgartsteve Hi Steve! In view of Laurie’s response, I would be very curious to see you how he answers more of your good questions, and how he might view your insightful observations.
The car last passed Illinois OBD test 500 miles ago. Almost all serviced were done in my garage and the new buyer will get the records.
Annual oil and filter were done annually with brake fluid changed bi-annually.
Please let me know if you have any questions, thanks for your interest.
This appears to be a low mileage 993 but it is certainly not a highly documented 993. Sure, it has a clean undercarriage. The seller knew at least 16 days ago he was to auction this vehicle but the prospect of at least $180k was not incentive enough to scan/post all of the maintenance book pages or the previous maintenance documents (vice a document dump on card table) or perform an emissions test in the last 6 years.
Holy spotless undercarriage, Batman! Beautiful example and what a nice combo of options. Good luck with auction but you won’t need it, I bet this will set a new record for WB 993.
Gorgeous top and bottom. That is all.
Bid in the amount of $182,000

Pix of the maintenance book will be up soon.
The car last passed Illinois OBD test at 11k miles, Certificate will be included with sale.
Great car and history, really think you should include some Concours score sheets from its past so people know the level of car they are dealing with! GLWS!
Man I like this Porsche!
Really regret selling my 1996 twin turbo
The aero kit really makes this car shine
Of course, the 11 K miles doesn’t hurt either
Good luck all

This car looks to be perfection.
Seller has posted recent service records, just appears that shop its been serviced at does not report to CarFax.
@stuttgartsteve What’s your thinking here, Steve? No records since 2015?
Hi Again, Laurie. Are emissions complaint with all State laws?
Bid in the amount of $173,250
Sorry, glossed right over the sticker, must be spending too much time on car sites
thanks for the help
The window sticker is in the gallery. The car was never serviced at any Indy anywhere.
I’ll add pix of the service manual tomorrow.
Hi Seller
Do you have a copy of the window sticker?
Can you take a shot of the first few pages of the service booklet?
When you and the car were in Illinois did you have it serviced at Perfect Power in Libertyville?
Thanks

Additional pix of driver door paint meter readings
will be up soon, thanks for your interest
@Laurier911 Hi Laurie, gorgeous. Thank you for your thorough paint readings. Say can we get a couple of paint meter readings on the driver-side door? I see that you show a 3.8 (I think) on the door’s top-most curve, right below the window (driver’s side/left-side). I was wondering if we could get a few more readings, moving straight down, vertically, from your earlier readings, say, down the middle of the door?
Sorry last service was 12/20
The last service 12/21 has been added. The clear title and car is in my position. As to state reporting to Carfax I can't comment.

Just a matter of time for these to go over $200k with the 993 market and also economy. I’m sure anyone bidding can go in with confidence. Great spec with the race seats and carbon fiber interior! Super clean.
Would you please comment on the lack of information since March 2015 on the CarFax?
Thank you.
Tim is taking this 993 home.....I can feel it! Can't blame the guy.

No dry ice, just a lot of loving care over the years.
I would literally eat off the bottom of this car. Was it cryoblasted?
Stunning! This C2S will no doubt set a record in the range of $180K++++!
Gorgeous car! This could set the record!
