About this car
The 1996 Porsche 911 Carrera stands as a refined example of the 993 generation, presented here as a Polar Silver C2 Coupe equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission. This rear-wheel-drive model has traveled 70,248 miles and remains entirely original, with all factory paint intact and no modifications of any kind. It was sold new in Northern California and passed through just three owners, the third of whom held the car for 25 years.
Factory options on this Carrera emphasize a driver-focused experience. Notable equipment includes sport seats, a limited-slip differential, the sport chassis package, and hollow-spoke lightweight 18-inch wheels. Additional rare features comprise the engine sound package and special flared rocker panels, all of which combine to distinguish this 911 from standard examples of the model.
Recent maintenance has included a clutch replacement approximately 10,000 miles ago along with replacement of the fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, front hood struts, wipers, and power seat switches. The car presents above average for its mileage, showing only minor rock chips and no evidence of prior damage or repaint work.

The Porsche 911 Carrera G-Series, produced between 1974 and 1989, represents a significant evolution of the iconic 911 lineup. Over its 15-year production run, approximately 196,000 units were manufactured across various trims, including the Carrera, making it one of the longest-running generations of the 911. The G-Series introduced key updates like impact bumpers to meet U.S. safety regulations and galvanized steel bodies for improved corrosion resistance, enhancing longevity—a critical factor for collectors.
Engine options varied, with the Carrera models typically featuring air-cooled flat-six engines ranging from 2.7 to 3.2 liters, producing between 175 and 231 horsepower depending on the year and market. Performance highlights include the 1984-1989 Carrera 3.2, which achieved 0-60 mph in around 5.6 seconds. Notable for collectors are rare variants like the 911 Turbo (930) and special editions such as the 1988 Commemorative Edition, built to celebrate 250,000 911s produced. Values have risen steadily, with well-maintained examples often fetching over $50,000, and rare models exceeding $100,000 at auctions. The G-Series’ blend of classic design, durability, and historical importance as a transitional model makes it highly sought after in the exotic car market.
