The 993 represents the final air-cooled iteration of the 911 -- a distinction that has only grown in significance since Porsche moved to water cooling with the 996 in 1998. This particular example checks the most important boxes for serious collectors: a six-speed manual gearbox, rear-wheel drive, Guards Red over a tan leather interior, and 32,000 documented actual miles on a California car. At this mileage, the 3.6-liter flat-six has barely been exercised relative to its potential, and the absence of any reported mechanical, cosmetic, or rust flaws suggests a life of careful ownership. Maintenance is reported current, and the car retains its stock drivetrain, suspension, and brakes -- the correct configuration for a low-mileage 993 that should remain unmodified. Michelin tires on factory Porsche wheels round out a car that presents as a genuine, unspoiled survivor rather than a restored approximation of one. This is the right car for a collector seeking an air-cooled 911 to drive seriously and hold long-term.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck out the pictures in the gallery \u0026amp; use the contact form to get in touch with us and the seller to ask questions and\/or make an offer for this vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVehicle Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eYear: 1997\u003cbr\u003eMake: Porsche \u003cbr\u003eModel: 911 \u003cbr\u003eTrim: 993 C2 \u003cbr\u003eDrive: Rear Wheel Drive\u003cbr\u003eMiles: 32,000\u003cbr\u003eMileage Verification: Actual Miles \u003cbr\u003eFuel Type: Gasoline\u003cbr\u003eTransmission: Manual (3 Pedals)\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Forward Gears: 6\u003cbr\u003eEngine: 3.6 6 Cyl\u003cbr\u003eExterior Color: Guards Red\u003cbr\u003eInterior Color: Tan\u003cbr\u003eState of Registration: California \u003cbr\u003eVehicle Location: Santa Barbara \u003cbr\u003eVIN: Available Upon Request \u003cbr\u003eTitle: Clean \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine \u0026amp; Transmission:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eEngine Modifications: No\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTransmission Modifications: No\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrivetrain, Suspension, Tires \u0026amp; Brakes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrivetrain Modifications: No\u003cbr\u003eSuspension Modifications: No\u003cbr\u003eWheel Size and Offset: 18\u003cbr\u003eWheel Brand and Model: Porsche\u003cbr\u003eTire Brand, Model, and Size: Michelin Tires\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExterior \u0026amp; Interior: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInterior Material: Leather \u003cbr\u003eInterior Modifications: No\u003cbr\u003eWorking Heat: Yes \u003cbr\u003eWorking Air Conditioning: Yes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther Notable Features or Functions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrivate sale\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecent Maintenance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaintenance up to date\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMechanical, Rust, Cosmetic Known Flaws:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNone\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel History:\u003c\/strong\u003e The 993-generation 911, produced from 1994 through 1998, represents the final air-cooled iteration of Porsche's iconic rear-engined sports car -- a distinction that has cemented its status as one of the most coveted collector Porsches of the modern era. The 993 addressed longstanding criticisms of its predecessor with a comprehensively redesigned multi-link rear suspension that dramatically improved high-speed stability and handling predictability. The bodywork was restyled with smoother, more integrated lines while retaining the classic 911 silhouette. As the last of the air-cooled lineage before the water-cooled 996 arrived, the 993 occupies a singular position in 911 history, bridging decades of continuous rear-engined development with a level of mechanical refinement that earlier generations could not match.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Porsche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53497719488831,"sku":null,"price":185000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/8095\/8783\/files\/IMG_8324.jpg?v=1780428097","url":"https:\/\/curatedovrlnd.com\/products\/1997-porsche-911-993-c2","provider":"CURATED OVR LND","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
