Why we picked it

Why we picked it: the last air-cooled 911, here as a 6-speed Carrera coupe in Aventurine Green with the factory rear-seat delete (option 419). It shows 67,300 miles and has a clean CARFAX and clean Pennsylvania title per the listing. The listing is upfront about needs: paint chips, worn upholstery, delaminating glass, 2008-dated tires, a missing tow-eye cover and fluid leaks.

Bidding stood at $40,000 with no reserve and 12 days left. Recent US 1995 manual coupes sold for $83,000 to $118,000, so there is room to fix the known issues and still come out ahead. Bids usually climb near the end.

The value check

When we found it, the bid was $51,000. Comparable cars in the same condition have sold for $83,000–$118,000, so the middle of the market is about $100,500. That put this car 49% under.

Compared with US 1995 993 Carrera manual coupes sold on BaT in 2026, $83,000 (144k mi) to $118,000 (103k mi), with several near $92,000.

Where the numbers come from:

What to check

  • Fluid leaks are listed; check valve covers, timing chain covers and the rear main seal
  • Ask about secondary air injection (SAI) port clogging and the check-engine light
  • Old tires (2008) must be replaced before driving
  • Check for hydraulic lifter tick, dual-mass flywheel wear and clutch condition
  • Look for rust around the windshield frame and in the front trunk drain areas

Making it drive like new

Sort the leaks and service items, then add modern tires, a refreshed suspension with quality dampers, upgraded brake pads and lines, and discreet audio and lighting updates; the rear-seat delete suits a light track build.

How it ended

It sold for $94,695 on Oct 30, 2026, against a market value of about $100,500 when we found it.
