those considering a 993 for purchase: get busy, prices are going
up. Porsche 993 Model Guide, Porsche Club of America, 10/9/18 Over
the 911 model's long life-the longest continuous run in the
automobile industry-the various generations each have developed
their own enthusiastic following. It's less a matter of arguments
between owners over which is best, rather it's usually an agreeable
appreciation of the special character and distinctiveness of each.
In this regard, the 993 generation of the 911, is especially valued
as the last of the breed. And among the 993 models, the 1997 cars
are particularly prized as the final air-cooled Porsches to come
out of Zuffenhausen. The somewhat enthusiastic quote above from the
PCA simply reflects the 993's uniqueness. Choosing a collectible
Porsche 911 always incorporates a mix of personal taste, choice of
model year, and a careful appraisal of condition. The 1997 Porsche
911 cabriolet offered here is a wonderful example given its rarity
and its condition. The
Arctic-silver-over-classic-gray-pleated-leather is a blend of
simplicity, subtleness, and style. In addition to the standard
power-operated convertible top, the car's option package is
extensive and well-chosen. For example, the engine-sound package
elevates the already joyful open-air Porsche driving experience
with the added enhanced music from the 3.6-liter flat-six engine
behind the speed-sensitive spoiler out back. With the top down,
hearing this engine and 6-speed manual in rev-harmony is an
experience unmatched in any other car. Overall, the options blend
appearance upgrades, comfort and convenience touches, and added
performance as chosen by the car's original owner, a Florida
doctor. Here's the full list: 159 �€" Engine sound package 233 �€"

in-person close-up inspection (which we encourage), the more
than175 photographs and accompanying walk-around video of the car
available at the GarageKeptMotors website are your best guide. But
from the turbo-twist wheels (that first appeared on the 993 cars),
drilled brake rotors and Michelin tires; to the virtually flawless
paint; to an interior with the only obvious wear being the gentle
creasing of the leather; to the perfect condition of the
gray-fabric top; to the pristine condition of the engine bay, frunk
and undercarriage, it's easy to see how fastidiously the car has
been maintained by its two prior owners over 27,600 miles. (Fyi,
the five owners shown on Carfax is an error resulting from the
second owner who moved and titled the car in multiple states.)
What's more, the upgraded audio head unit, tire inflator, battery
tender, cover for the fabric top, and full set of manuals with
original-purchase-associated literature all speak to owners who
cared for this 911 in the manner it deserved. Porsche shoppers know
what they're looking for... and they know when they've found it. A
fortunate one of them will very soon be
