1996 Porsche 911 Turbo

There is a lot going on with the 993 Turbo. As the last of the air-cooled 911 Turbos it will always exist in the rarefied air that enthusiasts reserve for only their most hallowed cars. But, just as Porsche was saying goodbye to one piece of technology it was bringing on board another: the 993 Turbo was the first to receive all-wheel drive as standard, a feature that has remained standard on every Turbo since, with the exception of the ultra-low production GT2. That places these cars in an interesting position and while I feel its status as the last of the air-cooled turbos will ultimately win the day I still wonder (and I’ve said this before) how the market for these and the 964 Turbos will shake out long term. Only time will tell in that regard, though either way I think it’s safe to say that both models will remain highly sought after. The example we see here is a Black 1996 Porsche 911 Turbo, located in Arizona, with Red leather interior and only 24,500 miles.

1995 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet

If the car we see here is any indication, then we appear to have reached a point where short-hood naturally-aspirated air-cooled 911s are all trading for similar values. Among driver-quality cars there certainly is a standard rise in value as we move from the 911SC to the 993 but the gap between these two models has closed considerably. This is great news for some buyers because it enables a more expansive search among models, but the downside is that a “cheap” 911 no longer appears to exist. Overall, it’s surely a testament to the desirability of the air-cooled cars more generally. Here we have a Grand Prix White 1995 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet, located around Houston, with 71,500 miles on it and an asking price of $37,500. The 993 was first shown in 1993 and carried over a refined version of the 964’s 3.6 liter flat-six mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. As the last of the air-cooled 911s the model always has been extremely popular and looks to forever remain the most powerful and refined air-cooled option Porsche will release.

1997 Porsche 911 Targa

Often forgotten, the 993 based Porsche 911 Targa was an interesting study in trying to move a segment forward. With a huge glass panel roof that slid inside the vehicle, the profile was changed a bit. Gone was the distinctive rounded rear side windows and a wide B pillar functioning as a roll bar. Also standard were two piece 17″ wheels to differentiate this car from the standard Carrera. For 911 sun worshippers that maybe don’t want to go the whole hog with the cabriolet, this Targa for sale in New York is a good middle ground.

1995 Porsche 911 Carrera

What’s your ideal commuter vehicle? This 1995 911 might seem like an unlikely candidate, but our own contributor, Pablo of flüssig magazine runs a 993 like this on a regular basis. As cars become ever larger and more complex, the idea of something older and simpler appeals to me and if you can throw speed into the equation, all the better. This 911 has over 100,000 miles on it, so someone did a good job of enjoying on at least a semi-regular basis. Now it’s time to pass the torch and have someone else enjoy this last example of air-cooled goodness.
