Miles The 1996 Porsche 911/993 Carrera Coupe represents the final
chapter in the legendary air-cooled era of Porsche, making it a
highly sought-after model among enthusiasts. This particular
example, finished in the iconic Guards Red, is a Tennessee car that
has been lovingly maintained over the years. Previously owned by
Matthew Shaw, this 911/993 carries a certain pedigree, enhanced by
its striking Guards Red exterior paired with a tan interior. The
classic color combination not only pays homage to Porsche's racing
heritage but also adds a timeless appeal that remains as
captivating today as it was in the 1990s. Powering this 911/993 is
the renowned 3.6L H6 engine, a masterpiece of engineering that has
recently undergone an engine-out service, ensuring it performs at
its best. This flat-six engine is the last of its kind to be
air-cooled, marking the end of an era for Porsche enthusiasts.
Paired with a 6-speed manual transmission, this 911 offers a
driving experience that is both visceral and engaging, with the
driver fully in control of the car's power and dynamics. The manual
gearbox is a favorite among purists, providing an analog driving
experience that is becoming increasingly rare in modern sports
cars. The handling of this 993 has been further refined with the
addition of Bilstein PSS10 coilovers. These adjustable coilovers
allow the suspension to be dialed in for various driving
conditions, whether for everyday road use or more spirited driving.
Complementing the suspension setup are the 5-spoke RUF wheels,
which not only add a touch of motorsport-inspired style but also
contribute to the car's performance by reducing unsprung weight.
These enhancements make the 993 even more responsive and connected
to the road, delivering the kind of driving dynamics that Porsche
is renowned for. Inside, the cabin of this 911/993 Carrera has been
tastefully upgraded with an FD Motorsports short shifter, which
provides quicker and more precise gear changes, further enhancing
the driving experience. A bolt-on roll cage has been added,
offering increased safety and rigidity, particularly beneficial for
those who may take this car to the track. The MA Shaw aero kit,
including a front spoiler and rear wing, not only enhances the
car's aggressive stance but also improves its aerodynamics,
ensuring stability at higher speeds and adding to the overall
performance package. This Porsche 911/993 has been locally owned
for the past 11 years and has always been serviced at German
Automotive, a trusted service center with a strong reputation for
maintaining German vehicles. The car comes with a highly documented
maintenance history, offering reassurance to its next owner about
its well-maintained condition. The original owner's manuals are
also included, adding to the car's authenticity and value. With
102,000 miles on the odometer, this 993 Carrera has been driven and
enjoyed, yet it remains in exceptional condition, a testament to
both its build quality and the meticulous care it has received. In
summary, the 1996 Porsche 911/993 Carrera Coupe is not just a car;
it's a piece of automotive history. As the final air-cooled model,
it holds a special place in the hearts of Porsche enthusiasts. With
its classic color combination, performance upgrades, and documented
maintenance history, this 993 is a rare find that offers a blend of
