Porsche 993 Turbo S

Howe ultimately placed the order on time, and his custom 993 Turbo S was delivered to Pioneer Centres in June 1997. Per a copy of the original bill of sale on file, Howe received the car on 2 June 1997 for the total sale price of $182,496. Other documentation shows Howe and his wife joined the Porsche Club of America upon taking delivery and that a Lo-Jack anti-theft system was installed before purchase. The car would remain under single ownership for the next 10 years, with documented regular maintenance by Hoehn Porsche of Carlsbad, California throughout that span.
In 2008, with just under 4,000 miles on the odometer, ownership passed to Mark Andrews of Gig Harbor, Washington. Andrews is documented as having the car serviced by Barrier Porsche of Bellevue, Washington during his curation. The White Collection acquired the car from Andrews in 2014 and immediately sent the Turbo back to Barrier Porsche for a thorough sorting, which included reinstallation of a factory exhaust system, new sway bar links, new brake calipers, rotors, and fluid flush as well as electrical sorting. Copies of invoices showing nearly $20,000 in documented parts and labor accompany the sale. While in the White Collection, it has been run to operating temperature monthly, yet it has remained a low-mileage car showing 5,267 miles at time of cataloguing; its accompanying original window sticker and maintenance book underscore its beautiful state of preservation.
Exhilarating performance, advanced, 959-inspired engineering, and a bevy of bespoke features came together in perfect harmony for the final evolution of Porsche’s air-cooled technology. The next owner of this Turbo S will be presented with the rare opportunity to experience what many aficionados consider to be Porsche’s greatest era.
