Vehicle Description

From the dealer listing

Presented in the timeless combination of Polar Silver over Marble Grey leather, this Type 993, 1996 911 Cabriolet is a rare and beautifully preserved example of the air-cooled era's final chapter. With just 44,651 original miles, the car presents as a genuine time capsule, backed by years of meticulous service documentation that speaks to an outstanding pedigree and a level of care few examples of this vintage can claim. The specification is equally compelling. This car was ordered with a rear seat delete and a locking rear differential - a highly unusual and desirable build combination that sets it apart from the vast majority of 911s from this era, and one that will appeal immediately to the discerning collector who understands rarity and values a truly original build sheet. The soft top has been recently replaced ensuring the open - air cabriolet experience is as fresh as the rest of the car, while the factory alloys wheels have been refinished to compliment the car's excellent overall presentation. A full front end paint protection film has been thoughtfully applied, preserving the excellent paintwork for the road ahead. Inside, an era-correct Blaupunkt stereo head unit with Bluetooth connectivity has been fitted, keeping the cabin faithful to its factory character while offering the reliability of a properly sourced replacement. Completing the package is a wonderful array of original accessories: the original tonneau cover with its leather case, along with the original tool kit, compressor, and spare tire - all present and accounted for, a rarity in itself after nearly three decades on the road. This is a 993 Cabriolet that checks every box for the serious collector: low original mileage, exceptional documentation, a unique factory build, and thoughtful, sympathetic care throughout its life. A truly special opportunity to own an air-cooled Porsche as it was meant to be enjoyed - top down, engine singing and history intact.

“I had a truly exceptional experience at the Porsche dealership in Santa Barbara. From the moment I walked in, I was warmly welcomed by Sarah, who was professional, attentive, and incredibly helpful throughout my visit. I came in for a repair, and she immediately made sure I was well taken care of. When she returned my keys, she had added a beautiful Porsche keychain — a thoughtful and memorable touch that I really appreciated. Sarah also connected me with Skylar, the Porsche Pro, who guided me through the features of my vehicle. She was knowledgeable and patient, and helped me discover several features I hadn’t even realized my car had — including the heated steering wheel, seat memory controls, and many other premium options. Although I did not purchase my car from this dealership, the level of service I received absolutely deserves recognition. It’s clear that outstanding customer care is alive and well here, and I would gladly recommend them to others.”
