The last of the air-cooled Porsche 911s, the 993 is the final evolution of the long air-cooled lineage from Porsche. The 993 boasts all of the innovations and refinement that Porsche learned from building the 911 for 30+ years, creating a simple yet distilled package of excellent driving dynamics, everyday comfort and accessible performance. The C4S, first built for the 1996 model year, uses the same wide body as the coveted 993 Turbo and also used the same all-wheel-drive system that the Turbo was equipped with. With an incredible amount of mechanical grip, a direct driving experience with enough power to get into trouble with, the 993 C4S is a fantastic performer in all conditions.

This 1998 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S was ordered by and delivered to Anderson-Behel Porsche of San Jose, California.

The first longtime owner of this Carrera 4S, Alton Yazar, purchased his Porsche on September 20th, 1997. Evident that he loved the car and drove it as intended, he accumulated over 17,000 miles by 2001, and by 2005 the odometer had risen to 29,701 miles. By 2022, the odometer had just 32,691 original miles and had remained in the Bay Area of California its entire life.

In April of 2022 the Carrera 4S received preventative maintenance including receiving a new battery, new driver's seat switches were installed, spark plugs and air filter were replaced, drive belts replaced, front and rear shock absorbers were replaced, the fuel filter was replaced, and other miscellaneous items. The total investment made came to $9,252.58. Shortly after, Canepa acquired the car in late 2022, where it didn't take long before it found a new caretaker. This individual enjoyed the car for several years, adding just around 400 miles to the odometer before it recently returned back to Canepa 3 years later.

Just as it had left, upon its return it was easy to tell that this Carrera 4S's excellent condition had been maintained. As a part of the "Canepa Difference" process, the Porsche was inspected both mechanically and cosmetically to ensure that it was in the best condition that it could possibly be in. The car was given a complete detail to ensure that the special order Zenith Blue Metallic paint's luster was enhanced and was completely polished using a multi-stage foam pad system, ensuring the factory original paint was preserved. The accenting Midnight Blue leather interior was given an equal level of attention. Afterwards, the car was inspected mechanically and test driven, and given a complete bill of health by Canepa's technicians. Ready for the next 30 years of ownership, enjoying both short and long drives, this 1998 Porsche 911 C4S represents an excellent last-of-the-aircooled 911s, ready to be enjoyed.
