duPont REGISTRY Live presents this U.S.-Spec 1998 Porsche 911 Carrera S Coupe, finished in Dunkleblau or Dark Blue over Cashmere Beige and Black partial leather interior. Showing approximately 48,900 miles, this wide-body 993 pairs its number's matching air-cooled 3.6-liter flat-six with a 6-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. A tastefully specified example with an extensive list of factory equipment and documentation, including a certificate of authentication, this Carrera 2S represents one of the most desirable specifications of the air-cooled era.

The 993 Carrera S represents the final chapter of Porsche’s air-cooled 911 lineage. Produced only for the 1997 and 1998 model years, it combined the naturally aspirated Carrera drivetrain with the widebody shell of the 911 Turbo.

Under the rear decklid sits the original fuel-injected 3.6-liter flat-six engine that produces 285 horsepower and pairs with a 6-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. This example is further enhanced by a limited-slip differential, rigidly tuned suspension, and Bilstein coilover upgrades, while the original suspension components are included with the sale.

It was delivered in Dunkleblaue or Dark Blue paint over Cashmere Beige and Black partial leather with racing-style sport seats. Factory options further elevate this car significantly. The Aerokit Turbo II package adds distinctive front and rear spoilers, complemented by yellow-painted brake calipers, silver 18-inch Turbo Twist wheels, colored crest wheel caps, and metal door sill model insignia. Additional factory options include the Motor Sound Package and deletion of model designation for a cleaner rear profile. The factory rear wiper option has been removed, however, the original parts are included in the sale.

Inside, the cabin features sport seats, a power sunroof, stainless steel door entry guards, and air conditioning. An Alpine Bluetooth/AUX head unit has been installed for modern-day convenience, while the original character of the interior remains intact.

CarFax & AutoCheck reveal that the vehicle carries a clean title, no reported accidents, while a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity confirms original production details, engine and transmission numbers, paint code, and the aforementioned factory options, further supporting provenance.

In terms of rarity, it is widely believed that approximately 3,714 Carrera S Coupes were produced worldwide, with roughly 1,752 examples delivered to North America. When factoring in the 6-speed manual transmission, specific color combinations such as Dark Blue over Cashmere Beige, and factory options like the Aerokit Turbo II, the number of similarly configured cars narrows significantly, further enhancing this example’s desirability for collectors.
