The last air-cooled Porsches is here. The 993, which was introduced in 1993, was nearly identical to the 964 it replaced. The flat-six engine and most of the body panels were completely new. There was only a small amount of parts that had been transferred.
A pristine 993 Porsche is the most desirable Porsche. This pretty 1996 Targa, which is priced at $58,500, was recently listed on eBay . The question is, is it worth the asking?
The 993 Targa, which was introduced in 1996, features a new mechanical roof system. It is controlled by switches on the dash. The glass roof retracts under the rear window, opening the cabin up while maintaining the same profile as the coupe. The Carrera also included unique 17-inch two-piece wheels.
This particular example is finished in a rare turquoise metallic finish, or teal. It also has an ivory leather interior. It still has the original 3.6-liter flat six, which has driven only 81,000 miles (130.356 kilometers) since its new purchase. The original flat six produces just north of 281 horsepower (208 kilowatts) as well as 250 pound-feet (334 Newton-meters). It shows little wear and tear and has had only two owners since its inception.
Over $4,000 was spent on suspension work. This included add-ons such as a Koni adjustable front coilover and rear springs. According to the seller, the car is in “phenomenal,” mechanical condition and includes all original books, manuals, spare tires, and the tool kit.
The car’s market value is slightly higher than the Porsche air-cooled models, as prices have risen dramatically, according to Hagerty. It is still possible to buy the most affordable generation of air-cooled 911s currently available. There is only one day left to bid on this auction. The seller will not let you make an offer and asks for $58,500 to ‘Buy It Now.
