1998 marked the final year of the Porsche 993 generation, but also was the last year that Porsche would be offering air-cooled sports cars. Eager to buy one of the last 911s from the air-cooled modern era, the 993 generation of 911s were incredibly popular due to their quality, handling, power delivery, comfort, and overall being able to do everything well. Designed from the ground up both mechanically and cosmetically, the 993 was considered to be the best-driving 911 built to date and also carried a subtle beauty to its design. Unsure of what the future of the 911 would bring with water cooling, the 993 was believed by collectors to be the final triumph. Those who were fortunate to find themselves purchasing one of these final 911s were treated to one of the greatest driving experiences a Porsche could provide, with all the refinements and improvements that you'd come to expect from a company like Porsche.

This 1998 Porsche 911 C2S was ordered by Rusnak Westlake Porsche and was delivered on October 1st, 1997. Spec'd in the rare Ocean Blue Metallic with a Cashmere leather interior, the car was ordered for its first owner, Christopher Conners of Camarillo, California, and took delivery and registered the car on October 27th, 1997. Optioned a 6-speed manual transmission, 18" Technology "Turbo Twist" wheels with hollow spokes, AM/FM radio with a 6-disc CD changer, Arctic Silver wheel caps, automatic speed control, a Hi-Fi sound system with 8 speakers, and a sun-moon-roof, this C2S is a perfect blend of subtle upgrades with an outstanding color combination.

Conners kept his car for almost 20 years, driving it sparingly and only accumulating 9,948 miles during his ownership, keeping his car serviced regularly and in pristine condition. The 2nd owner kept the car for 6 years, adding just under 4,800 miles to the odometer before arriving at Canepa in 2023. It was apparent that the previous owners took fastidious care of the C2S from its fantastic condition. Unsurprisingly, the C2S sold quickly to its third owner, who has kept the car in similar pristine condition for the last 2 years, adding just shy of 1,200 miles to the odometer.

Upon arrival at Canepa, the car was thoroughly checked both cosmetically and mechanically. Still in the same condition as it left, this Ocean Blue Metallic C2S is a rarity. Preparing for Canepa's showroom, the 911 went through the "Canepa Difference" process where the original Ocean Blue Metallic paint received a foam-pad polish to enhance the already impressive luster, and all surfaces throughout the car were cleaned. As expected, the 911 did not need very much attention due to its fantastic caretakers and their treatment of the car for the last 28 years.

One of the most sought-after air-cooled Porsches today, the 911 C2S represents the final culmination of air-cooled evolution, with all the refinements and performance enhancements Porsche could throw at the naturally aspirated C2S. With a 6-speed manual transmission, wide Turbo bodywork, and rear wheel drive paired with a fantastic driving experience, this 911 C2S is ready and is prepared to be enjoyed to the fullest for the next 30 years.
