Purchased new from Stevinson Jaguar - Porsche in Lakewood, Colorado
on May 3, 1997, with 35 miles. The Carfax indicates that the first
owner, Mr. Bailey, sold his vehicle after just 5 months of use to
its next longtime owner of 23 years, Mr. Lubell. Under Mr. Lubell's
ownership, the C2S was routinely serviced by European Performance
Specialists in Colorado Springs, Colorado where he would take the
car to receive general maintenance. By 2005, Mr. Lubell, entered
his Carrera into the 22nd Annual Exotic Sports Car Show and
Concours D' Elegance and won 2nd in class. In 2007, the C2S was
shown again at the 24th Annual Exotic Sports Car Show and Concours
D' Elegance and won 1st in class. Most recently, the C2S has been
fully serviced with new oil and filters.
Due to the meticulous care and low mileage, the paintwork is all
original and in pristine condition with factory glass and a rear
split grill. The exterior features include headlight washers, fog
lights, heated and power-adjustable mirrors, a power sunroof, a
speed-activated rear spoiler, and dual exhaust outlets. The
upholstery remains all original and in exceptional condition with
no wear. The silver 18? hollow-spoke "Technology" Turbo twist
wheels are wrapped in new 225 40 18 front and 285 30 18 rear
Michelin Pilot Sport N3 tires (2021 date codes). The undercarriage
is all original and in remarkable condition.
Powered by a 3.6-liter M64 flat-six that features a VarioRam intake
system and was factory rated at 282 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of
torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual
transaxle while braking is handled by Porsche-branded calipers over
cross-drilled rotors. Complete with Porsche Productions
Specification sheet, factory maintenance booklet, warranty
information booklet, owner's manual, CDR-210 radio manual, radio
code card, main key code card, replacement key, and all
documentation from new. An extremely rare opportunity to acquire an
incredibly low mileage and well-maintained 993 finished in a unique
color combination.
History
The 993 was much improved over, and quite different from its
predecessor. According to Porsche, every part of the car was
designed from the ground up, including the engine, and only 20% of
its parts were carried over from the previous generation. Porsche
refers to the 993 as "a significant advance, not just from a
technical, but also a visual perspective." Porsche's engineers
devised a new light-alloy subframe with coil and wishbone
suspension (an all-new multi-link system), putting behind the
previous lift-off oversteer and making significant progress with
the engine and handling, creating a more civilized car overall
providing an improved driving experience. The 993 was also the
first 911 to receive a six-speed transmission.
