Porsche 911 Convertible (1998)
for sale

Price: US $199,000.00

Description:

Absolutely rare example of a 993 „
S“
Convertible with turbo body.
Original Porsche factory conversion to turbo body according to special customer request. This model has never been available through the official Porsche sales program.
This Porsche has been ordered new in late 1997 by a gentleman, who had been a Porsche enthusiast for quite a long time. Therefor at that time he already had purchased a significant number of vehicles from Porsche in Stuttgart. Obviously he was able to convince the engineers at the Porsche Exclusive Department to convert his brandnew 993 convertible to a 993 „S“ Cab with a turbo body. He received his personal sample in May 1998. The car was titled „ORIG. PORSCHE-WERKSUMBAU“ („ORIG. PORSCHE-FACTORY CONVERSION“ see photo of title).
Porsche always refused to do this kind of conversion (e.g. see story „Rare Air“ by Zachary Maine in Excellence Magazine, June 2011) although there were a lot of serious requests at that time. We do not know what made the Porsche engineers authorise this rare exception.
We were able to trace only one more 993 Cab which was converted by Porsche in Stuttgart to a turbo body: Jerry Seinfeld sent in 2000 a Porsche 993 Cab to Porsche Exclusive. In 2001 he received a vehicle which was converted by using not only the turbo body but also parts of the 964 Speedster. Another 993 which was turned by Porsche in Stuttgart into a Speedster was presented to F.A. Porsche for his 60th birthday. But this one is missing the wide body.
A number of conversions were carried out by independent Porsche shops but never at the Porsche factory in Stuttgart. Please do not mistake any unauthorized wide bodies with this orig. Porsche Factory Conversion.
The 993 S Convertible with naturally aspirated engine seems to be even rarer than the 993 Turbo Convertible, of which the production of 14 cars by Porsche is known.
This Porsche remained with its sole owner in Germany for 27 years and has always been registered. During all this time it has been supervised and maintained by the same Porsche workshop. All service records and a complete set of books come with the car. The owner was fully aware of the uniqueness of his 993 and therefor she collected very few miles. Driven just 16.200 documented kilometers (10.2k miles) since new, this is an absolute collector's item. Since 2015 the vehicle is part of a private collection and has not been registered anymore.
