1998 Porsche 911 Carrera S

There’s something about a widebody 911 that gets my heart racing. The 993 Carrera S and 4S captured this look perfectly, with it’s smoother styling that would usher in the final chapter of the air-cooled 911. The Carrera S and 4S was an attempt, as in previous generations, to capture a bit of the aggression of the 911 Turbo without the cost or complexity. Other than the rear wing and twin-turbocharged engine, the S models were quite similar to the Turbo, sharing the wider rear haunches that would ultimately increase aerodynamic drag. This Carrera 2S for sale in Ohio has been tuned up a bit, looking quite mean in black sitting on replica Fuchs alloys.

This isn’t exactly a 911 for the purist, but it’s not terribly executed, either. I’m always torn over whether I like the 964 or 993 better, but I can’t ignore the beauty of the last air-cooled 911 with Fuchs style wheels sitting under those wide rear fenders. I could do without some of the brightly colored accents like the rev counter and brake calipers, but those are easy items to modify. We saw a 1996 911 C4S with 13,000 miles sell for just over $73,000 last May, so the asking price here represents a bit of a jump since then. The mileage on this example certainly isn’t high, but it’s a good bit more than the car we came across in the middle of last year. There seems to be no end to the rise in values for air-cooled 911s, so if this one sells for the asking price, I wouldn’t be all that surprised.
