@1337TXguy, You have a very keen eye. I know I have OCD and welcome to the group. I just pulled the car out of the garage and took this shot. It would appear the rubber gaskets separating these panels have shrunk over the 29 years since new and could be replaced.

@1337TXguy, Good morning! I have reviewed the two images in question. Image 47 appears to show a rubber gasket slightly out of place,but this has now been corrected. I do not see any panel misalignment in either photo or in person. It is my understanding that the prior owner had the front bumper removed when he had the front bumperettes removed and the Turbo S air inlets and fog lights installed. Thanks for your interest.

Most everything that will accompany the car is shown here. I will also be sending the original suspension, rear plastic under tray and a virtually new Covercraft car cover. I have always believed that preserving the documentation and original components was part of preserving the car itself.

@ChrisCOak, Good afternoon. The only PPF that I am aware of that was removed and replaced are the two pieces on the rear quarter panels that protect those lovely rear flares. I know the prior owner and stay in touch via Rennlist. He has several Porsche's and assured me the car was never tracked. When I conducted my initial PPI there was no evidence of excessive wear or damage on any components and the car was in nearly perfect condition having just recently won a concourse event on the East Coast. I do not know where you are coming up with the statement that owner 1 drove it alot and that the fronts had some heat and can assure you the car has no deferred maintenance and is nearly perfect in every regard. Yes, I have not changed the rotors during my ownership, and they remain in excellent condition.
Thanks, and best of luck bidding to win it!

@Sparta72, Yes and thanks for the accolades. I agree it is almost to pretty to drive. This is a car that was never driven in the rain, and the concours detailer did a phenomenal job with dry ice and laser!

@ChrisCOak, Good afternoon and thank you for your questions and interest. I have been getting several queries privately from interested parties and it is nice to have the questions here for all to see.
Please see my responses as follows:
1. Gorgeous car @seller. Thanks very much! she is an absolute beauty.
2. Any idea when the front ppf was installed initially? There is no PPF installed on the front end. as a former car detailer I prefer working on a painted service with pure carnuba wax.
3. Front end looks clean for 41K and a SoCal car. Yes, it is virtually perfect with a few minor pits as shown in the walk around video. The car was sparingly and carefully driven to protect and preserve it.
4. Also @BillG993 surprised a Turbo warped front rotors at 11K miles is that normal wear (owned a 993s which was lighter). I do not have any specifics as to why the rotors were replaced other than to state that the previous owner was a lot like me and suffered from a mild case of obsessive-compulsive disorder with a tendency towards perfectionism.
5. Looks like initial ownership was light on time based services but nice work on caring for it since then! Very tasteful upgrades. The only reason I can think that this might appear to have occurred is likely related to my inability to find all the prior records or the fact that the prior owner self-performed certain service work as he is an accomplished mechanic.
6. Any sign of excessive oil consumption or smoke? No, the car does not burn excessive oil and there is absolutely no smoke as can be seen in the startup and driving video.
Should you have any further questions I will attempt to address them and best of luck on winning this very special car!

I came across these photo’s from several years ago at a large Porsche event at the Lyon. It reminded me of how many wonderful memories this car has provided over the last 24 years. I hope its next owner enjoys it just as much!

For all those interested I would suggest you take the time to read the Car & Driver article “The Supercar Olympics” above where they rated the 993 TT the #1 choice!

@BillG993, Thanks again for weighing in and adding additional clarity to the matter. The front bumper was delivered as it exists today and I agree it is a much-preferred aesthetic. Thanks again for your help and positive feedback!

After some research this is what I have found.
Porsche offers 4 different vehicle documentation options in the United States:
1) Porsche Production Specification (PPS), available for all model years
2) Classic Technical Certificate (CTC), available for all classic models
3) Monroney label, available for MY19 and newer
4) Personalized Monroney, available for MY20 and newer
The former Certificate Of Authenticity "COA" program was updated in 2017 and renamed the Porsche Production Specification (PPS) in 2019.
Depending on the model and information desired, the PPS and Porsche Classic Technical Certificate (CTC ) are available.
If the car was ordered under The Special Wishes program Sonderwunsch and dealer installed options were performed after initial production therefore the details are not provided on the PPS and CTC. To provide you the most consistently accurate information, research beyond this initial production data is not possible.
The estimated delivery of the PPS is 6-8 weeks.
The Porsche Classic Technical Certificate and the Porsche Production Specification are both certificates which can be ordered for your classic Porsche. The differences between the provided content of the CTC and PPS may be found by visiting porscheusa.com/ctc.
The CTC offers a unique opportunity to receive specific data about your Classic vehicle. Items include when it was built, where was it delivered, and documents the engine and transmission numbers and types that are currently in the vehicle plus a verification of a match to original records. The CTC also includes an expert assessment of the current state of your vehicle. For a full summary of included details in a CTC, please visit porscheusa.com/ctc.
The CTC will include the Vehicle Identification Number, Model Type, Date of Production, Delivery Points, Engine and Transmission number verification, Exterior and Interior Information. If details are not recorded at the time of production, we will provide you with any information we are able to verify. For the full list, please visit porscheusa.com/ctc.
Visit "Find a Dealer" on porscheusa.com/ctc, which shows all dealers who can provide a Porsche Classic Technical Certificate. If you aren't sure which dealer is eligible, please don't hesitate to call 1-800-PORSCHE.
I regret that neither of these forms of additional documentation are available in advance of the auction ending.

I would like to thank everyone for the thoughtful questions and enthusiasm for the car. It's been gratifying to see how many knowledgeable Porsche enthusiasts are following the auction. I've tried to answer every question completely and transparently, and if anyone needs additional photographs, videos, or copies of service records, I'm happy to provide them. I am attempting to get the original build data from Porsche, but despite my efforts with the dealer and Porsche have been unsuccessful. My goal is for the next owner to feel just as confident buying this car as I did when I purchased it 24 years ago.

@BillG993, Thanks so much for weighing in and adding your extensive experience and understanding. It is very apparent I had little understanding of the many options and accessories that make this car so special. I am planning on following with Porsche tomorrow in an attempt to get a build sheet as you have suggested. Thanks for your time, interest and helping to educate us all on the finer points of the 993 TT!

@Tommy gunz, I addressed your question in my response below to another interested party. I had just completed a similar driving video in my recently sold 997.2 TTS which had the stated mileage. I misspoke and am sorry about the confusion. The stated mileage in the listing is factually correct. Thanks for your interest!

@K24, You appear to be an expert and I am not.
This is what Chat GPT has to say.
“ Your option sticker is very clear. I can decode almost all of it with confidence. There are also two Porsche Exclusive production codes that require a factory build record (Porsche Production Specifications or a COA) to identify precisely.
Here's the complete breakdown:
Code Description
L92U Arctic Silver Metallic exterior paint
TF Classic Grey Full Leather interior
C02 U.S. market specification
454 Cruise control
650 Electric sliding sunroof
688 Becker-Porsche CDR-210 CD/radio system
939 Draped (Supple) leather rear seats
982 Draped (Supple) leather front seats
00051 Porsche Exclusive internal production code
16981 Porsche Exclusive internal production code
Your Porsche Exclusive Codes
The two codes that make your car especially interesting are:
00051
16981
These are not retail option codes. They are Exclusive Department production order numbers used by Porsche's Sonderwunsch (Exclusive) department. They identify special factory work performed during production but don't tell us what that work was from the option sticker alone.
Based on the car itself, I believe these Exclusive codes likely correspond to some or all of the following factory-installed features you've described:
Factory carbon fiber interior package
Chrome instrument rings
Turbo S front brake cooling ducts
Chrome oval exhaust tips
Possibly the painted rear bumperettes
The factory build record would identify the exact content of those Exclusive orders.
Features your car has that aren't shown as retail M-codes
This is common on Porsche Exclusive cars.
Your car includes:
Factory carbon fiber steering wheel
Factory carbon fiber shift knob
Factory carbon fiber dash trim
Chrome gauge rings
Turbo S brake ducts
Chrome exhaust tips
Many Porsche Exclusive features from this era were bundled under internal Exclusive production orders rather than listed individually as M-codes.”
I intend to contact my Porsche dealer tomorrow and see if I can attain a Porsche Production Specifications “PPS” document. Thank you for your interest.

@BenzandBuick, I can assure you the mileage shown is correct. No speedometer or odometer parts were replaced and the actual mileage shown is correct. In the test drive video it was early in the morning and I had just got out of one of my other Porsches were I was doing a similar video. I misspoke and stated the incorrect mileage. The car has only 40,749 actual miles and is nearly perfect in all ways!

I can assure you that both of the drivers and passengers seats proudly display the Porsche crests. I will see if I can get some better pictures for you. Thanks

Thanks so much for all the favorable comments and early bids.
One question I'm sure will come up is why I'm selling after 24 years. The answer is simple: I never expected to part with this car. It has been one of the cornerstones of my collection, and I intended to keep it indefinitely. Unfortunately, a capital requirement for one of my real estate projects has made it necessary to sell a few collector cars, including this one. While it's difficult to let it go, I hope it finds a new owner who will appreciate and care for it as much as I have.

@JetCity993RS, Thanks so much for the kind words. Yes, This is a very outstanding example of the last of the air cooled turbos and it has been the pinnacle of my collection for over twenty years!

@Mhog03, I have all the original books and deliverables, but regret I do not have the window sticker. The carbon interior parts are all original. The Arctic Silver with the Classic Grey leather and carbon trim is a timeless and very handsome combination. I looked a long time to find this car. Thanks!

Tommy , The Oct 2000 service ticket stated the speedo was not working above 60mph. It was fixed and no replacement parts were needed. The original owner confirmed the actual miles were correct. The odometer reflects the actual mileage at just over 40,000. Thanks for asking.

Welcome to my auction, and thank you for taking the time to view my 1997 Porsche 911 Turbo.
I purchased this car in 2002 after a long search for the best 993 Turbo I could find. Over the past 24 years, it has been one of the highlights of my collection and has always been maintained with one philosophy: preserve it rather than simply own it.
The car has never been involved in an accident, retains its original paint (verified with paint-meter readings shown in the gallery), and has always been serviced regardless of cost. Every repair and maintenance item has been addressed promptly, and there is no deferred maintenance. I have retained extensive service records, books, manuals, tools, air compressor, spare wheel, and the original suspension components that were removed when the Bilstein PSS9 dampers and RS sway bars were installed.
Immediately before this auction, I invested more than $5,000 in preventative maintenance to ensure the car is ready for its next owner. Following that service, the underside was professionally dry-ice and laser cleaned—not to hide anything, but to present the car exactly as it deserves.
The suspension modifications were chosen to enhance the driving experience while remaining completely reversible. I wanted the car to feel like the very best version of a factory 993 Turbo without compromising its originality.
I have tried to photograph every aspect of the car honestly and thoroughly. If there is something you would like to see that isn't shown in the gallery, I will gladly provide additional photographs, videos, or documentation. I want every bidder to have complete confidence in what they are bidding on.
This Porsche has given me 24 wonderful years of ownership, and I hope it finds a new caretaker who appreciates how special these air-cooled Turbos have become.
Thank you for your interest, and I look forward to answering your questions throughout the auction.
