1996 Porsche 993 C2 Polar Silver
Mileage: 118k Asking $59,500

I have owned this car for 9 years and have decided to let it go.
This car has been a weekend backroad driver & a novice level (yellow) 3 to 4 PCA DE's a year car. The engine/trans are completely stock as I never wanted to comprise reliability. I focused more on the handling (suspension) and it is sublime.

Mods/upgrades from previous owner (father purchased new, passed away, then his son owned it). Technically I'm the 3rd owner if you count the father/son separately. All shop service/maintenance records since new.

Porsche Carrera III 18" wheels
European turbo front & rear bumper covers (eliminates bumperettes) painted to match
Replaced faded tail lights & center reflector
Paint matched rear grill in polar silver
Gert front protector bar
Replaced door seals - driver & passenger
Replaced all carpets/mats (silverknit) & headliner
996 carbon fiber/leather steering wheel (CF slightly de-laminating on the bottom)
Aluminum sport pedals & "Carrera" stainless door sills
Replaced spoiler wall + rubber seal

Engine
Top end engine rebuild due to SAI check eng light (60+hours of labor) + clutch/flywheel/clutch master/slave + distributor rebuilt. Lots of while your in there stuff replaced. Done @ 79,022 miles @ Jim Ellis Porsche in Atlanta

Replaced ignition/plug wires (while eng out)
Replaced both control arms (due to worn bushings)
ROW M030 sways front/rear


During my ownership (since 2009)

Optima red top battery
OEM brake rotors/pads + S/S lines
OEM red seat belts
DAS bolt-in roll bar (bought new) powder coated polar silver

Replaced entire suspension w/ Porsche RS suspension parts (KT control arms/A arms/camber control arms + hardware)
Rennline rear toe control arms
Rennline solid rear subframe mounts
RS engine mounts
Elephant Racing sport rubber lower control arm bushings

MCS 2 way coilovers w/remote + Tarett strut tops ($13k spent on suspension) set to RS + 5mm ride height

Rothsport billet shifter + FD golden rod
Replaced alternator & starter
Rennline floor board/dead pedal
Fister stage 1 ceramic coated w/Fabspeed 200 cell sport cats
New Conti extreme contact sport tires (1k miles)

Interior:
997.1 GT3 seats (+ OEM full power seats in black included)
Arm rests/grab handles done in leather w/silver stitching (Classic 9)
Alcantera side panels

New OEM C4 shift ****/boot (nicely weighted)
Stereo removed; all wiring still exists for H/U + amp if desired.
Aluminum interior **** covers
Custom VDO voltage gauge in console

The paint is in excellent condition. There are small rock chips on the hood consistent with the cars age. I have the frunk carpet & rear seats if a return to stock is desired. Recent cylinder leakdown #'s were excellent; Cyl#1 3% Cyl#2 3% Cyl#3 2.5% Cyl#4 4%
Cyl#5 3% Cyl#6 3%

Wow. Very nice example and would love to drive it. I hope it finds a nice home. Too bad it's not my garage.

Good luck with the sale. Are you replacing it? Are you still going to the Air/Oil Cooled Day at Palmer Motorsports Park?

If I didnt already have a 993 I'd be all over this one, all the major items have been addressed/upgraded already plus polar silver is one of the best colors on these cars. GLWS

Cool! I made "classified of the week"
Appreciate all the kind words. It's truly a special car & will make someone VERY happy...

Just got mine in polar silver. It's a really nice color. I just ordered up some Adams polishes and wax. Going to clay the car, do a correcting polish, the finishing polish and then a nice coat of their patriot wax.

I like the way you have modded the car. Very tasteful. Should sell quickly

It is certainly the ClassiCfied of the week.
