Same here. I was just discussing this with a few friends.
They drool over cream leather interiors and I think they always look filthy and worn.

I love black interiors.
The bedliner is black on steroids, like an off-roading death machine.

I also love the deleted center console look
I love exposed floor pan track-rat look

Raw...... who knew.....

I agree I am a black interior fan nothing ages a car such as a light color interior.
Tempted to strip out the interior of my Carrera for a black lightweight motif.

Rawknees'Turbo 12-06-2019 05:08 PM

Bump for black interiors (the only suitable option for real men!!!), and metal goddesses!!!

Interesting quote that ties into another thread here.


“Of note: While the general rule when it comes to classic car values is “When the top goes down, the price goes up,” that is not the case with Porsche 993s. Coupes are worth significantly more than Cabriolet or Targas.”

Interestingly I just looked at a rather sad excuse for an SC targa with 51k miles on the odo and a lot of paintwork needing oil leaks fixed recently purchased for $48k.

That kind of stopped with the 356, in terms of Porsche.

My take on the 993 is that it was the best of the best in an air-cooled world in terms of advancement

But, it was a cross between a luxury car and a raw air-cooled car.

When the 996 came out, not only did Porsche do away with the air cooled motor, but also with those sexy broad hips! During that time I'd take a 993 over a 996 any day

But the hips returned, and people got used to the water cooling.
I think the 99x turbos and carrera 4s drew people out of the 993 market,
and for those looking for air cooled, perhaps earlier cars drew of few of them there?

In any event, at one time the 993 was it, but now there are other Porsche options especially now that the water-cooled stigma is gone.

The 993 is special, but stepping into certain 997s are pretty special too.

Having said that, the 993 will always be the last of the air cooled cars.

Macroni 12-10-2019 03:27 AM

993's are a refined air-cools that where impacted by the run up in values of the 993 TTs.

I always felt the standard models were a bit overvalued in the market.

Cobalt 12-10-2019 04:57 AM

I always called the 993 the Key stone car for Porsche. An air-cooled with enough changes to start preparing the market for the water cooled years. It was far more GT feeling than the trailing arm cars offering a change from the traditional 911 looks. A lot of overly complicated options like power locks and key fob activated alarm, fancy stereos and the like which was a departure from the old sports car theme the earlier cars followed.

Unless they have a mezger engine I find little value in the water cooled 911's which continue to hold their value. There are a lot of 993's that have been babied and preserved. Unlike the 964 coupes which so few remain in nice condition there are far more nice 993's available. I find when people want an air-cooled these days they want that old school look and trailing arm feel.

51k is unicorn collector territory.
That buyer can probably flip it for $60k.
