Few motorsport partnerships can draw attention like Porsche and
ANDIAL, combining the German manufacturer's prestigious racing cars
with the performance shop's motorsport knowhow and ingenuity. With
their relationship spanning multiple decades, Porsche often turned
to ANDIAL for optimization of components for their race cars. From
engines to suspension components, the Santa Ana performance shop
was known as an industry leader and an expert in motorsports
applications. It should come to no surprise that ANDIAL would
eventually breathe some of their talent into Porsche's street cars,
and this 1998 Porsche 911 C2S with an upgraded 3.8-liter motor is
one of those rare birds.
Purchased new by Max Mayer of Birmingham, Alabama, he would spec
his 1998 Porsche 911 C2S to his exact wishes. Built on December
19th of 1997, he would become its first owner on March 23rd, 1998.
Max already knew what he wanted to do with the 911: send it to
ANDIAL Road and Racing and have them apply their magic and upgrade
the stock 3.6-liter engine to the 3.8-liter monster engine. Before
going to ANDIAL, Max chose body components to be added to the C2S
during the build. On a mission to make a C2S with a Turbo look, he
would end up purchasing over $8,500 in parts, including Tech Art
Front Fog Light Brake vents, Turbo-S rear quarter brake vents, a
Turbo-S front and rear spoiler kit and a Turbo S brake caliper set.
With only 4,268 miles on the car, ANDIAL would begin work that
would take this regular Porsche and turn it into a 911 that has a
unique character that sets it apart from all other C2Ss.
Composed of ANDIAL's larger lightweight pistons and lightweight
Carillo rods as the base build of the engine, Max decided to spec
the car with even more options offered. During the build, the car
was given Sport Camshafts from an RS, a lightweight flywheel that
was used in the RSR race car, a custom 8:32 Ring and Pinion in its
6-speed manual transmission, and a Quaife limited slip
differential. Other modifications included M030 Euro Sport
Suspension, which included springs, struts, shocks and sway bars. A
Sound enhancement package, which included K&N/Sport air box,
new mufflers and tail pipe tips, and a shock tower brace. With the
modifications applied, the ANDIAL-built C2S produced 374ft/lb of
torque at 4,544rpm and 321 horsepower at 6,510rpm. When said and
done, the ANDIAL-powered C2S would cost Max over $33,000 in parts
and labor for the pure driving pleasure that the special Porsche
911 now delivered.
Max would eventually sell the ANDIAL C2S to Dr. George Pierce Jones
III of Havanna, Florida on the 25th of October 2003. The bill of
sale states that the 911 has 9,477 miles on the car and Max was
traded a 1956 Porsche Speedster with 1,280 miles. George would
drive the car almost 6,000 miles during his year and a half
ownership, performing minor maintenance on the car during the time.
On February 1st, 2005, he would sell the Porsche to Carmen and Lisa
Giunta of Riverdale, New Jersey.
Once the car arrived, Carmen began to take copious notes on
maintenance that he would have performed during his ownership. Over
the course of his 5+ year ownership and 10,000 miles, he would have
general maintenance done along with a few upgrades like an DACH
X-pipe and 200 cell catalytic converters added. In August of 2011,
the car was then sold onto its next owner with a surprisingly odd
twist. Just two weeks after acquiring the car, the new owner passed
away due to Hurricane Irene. With his family devastated, the
now-deceased owner's business partner helped find a new buyer for
the car. On September 25th 2012, the car was then bought by a
collector in Southern California.
Driving the car less than 2,000 miles during his 5 and half year
ownership, he would take the car out on special occasions in order
to keep the engine fresh and enjoy all that the ANDIAL-C2S had to
offer. After arriving at Canepa early this May, the car was
thoroughly inspected. With the 911 having such a unique character
from upgrades, Bruce Canepa decided that the car demanded something
more. Custom leather was sourced and was masterfully installed by
our in-house trimmer, now sporting a handsome green grey leather
interior and matching carpet. The hollow spoke Turbo wheels were
removed and painted in Titanium grey metallic, along with a few
other exterior surfaces like the top of the Turbo spoiler, mirrors
and front brake ducts. With all of the aesthetics updated to modern
times, the car now has a special persona that reflects a perfect
culmination of upgrades.
Now offered for sale, this ANDIAL-upgraded C2S is now in showroom
condition, offering the next buyer a unique opportunity to buy a
piece of history. With ANDIAL becoming a part of Porsche
Motorsports North America in 2013, this 911 represents a time when
the company was still an independent performance shop that Porsche
worked with closely, trusted and ultimately respected. With enough
naturally aspirated power on tap to satisfy any air-cooled
aficionado and updated aesthetics that bring its looks into the
21st century, this Porsche 993 from ANDIAL is the ultimate C2S.
