The seller offers for sale this 1996 Porsche 993 Coupe, presented in unmodified, factory-original condition and finished in its original paint. This example was originally delivered in Canada in early 1998 and later imported to Slovenia by its second owner in 2008. The current seller, the third owner, acquired the car in 2013.
Powered by a naturally aspirated 3.6-litre air-cooled flat-six engine, the 993 Coupe represents the final iteration of the classic air-cooled 911s. Paired with a manual gearbox, this example retains its original mechanical configuration and has no reported modifications or upgrades. It is equipped with a wide array of factory options, including heated and electrically adjustable seats (codes 373 and 374), 17-inch Cup wheels (398), a sunroof (650), and a range of comfort, lighting, and convenience features as denoted by its comprehensive build sheet.
A major service was carried out at 69,766 km at Porsche Ljubljana. The car has been deregistered for several years but retains full EU import documentation and was previously registered in Slovenia. The vehicle remains on its original wheels and comes with a clean CARFAX and Porsche vehicle information documentation.
The exterior condition is good. The car wears its original paint. This kind of original preservation is becoming increasingly rare among 993s, especially after nearly three decades.
The interior also remains in stock configuration and well preserved. Trim, upholstery, and controls show minimal wear, reflecting the car’s limited use. The dashboard, headliner, seats and door panels are all factory-correct and have not been modified. No interior parts are reported missing.
Mechanically, the car is said to be in good condition. Lighting and indicators function as expected. Although the car is currently deregistered, the seller states it can be freshly inspected before sale if required.
The Porsche 993, produced from 1994 to 1998, was the final generation of the air-cooled 911 and is widely praised for its build quality, timeless styling, and mechanical purity. It introduced multi-link rear suspension (a first for the 911), improving both comfort and handling, and is often seen as the perfect balance between classic engineering and modern usability.
In coupe form, the 993 retains the classic teardrop 911 shape, enhanced by subtle styling revisions that improved aerodynamics and stability. Its robust M64 engine, especially in non-turbocharged guise, offers a linear power delivery and a visceral driving experience that modern cars often lack. The 993 is also notable for its reliability among classic 911s, provided regular maintenance has been observed.
Because of these qualities—and the fact that it represents the end of an era—the 993 has become one of the most collectible 911 generations. The model’s rising popularity is driven by enthusiasts who appreciate its analog driving experience and relative simplicity compared to later water-cooled variants.
This particular example stands out not only due to its low mileage and originality, but also because of its clear and traceable ownership history. It has been part of a private collection for several years and used sparingly. With a recent inspection and minimal signs of wear, this 993 is well-positioned as a collector’s car or weekend driver for the air-cooled purist.

The description of this car is, to the best of the seller’s knowledge, accurate and not misleading. Route 66 Auctions requests a range of detail about the car from the seller and performs a level of due diligence. However, potential buyers must independently satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the description. We strongly advise potential buyers to view or arrange inspections as well as conduct any research they feel is necessary before committing to bid or buy.
Please note that it is not uncommon for classic or collectible cars to have received cosmetic repairs in the past, to rectify damage or refresh appearance, and this work may be hard to see even upon visual inspection. Unless there is an explicit statement by the seller to the contrary, please assume that any vehicle could have had bodywork or paintwork. Photographs may not reflect the exact true colour or exact full condition of the vehicle. It is a bidder’s responsibility to assure themselves of the colour and condition of a vehicle, including its interior and the existence of any remedial bodywork or paintwork, before committing to bid or buy.
