The 996-generation Porsche 911 ushered in the most significant change in the 911’s history: liquid cooling. The death of the air-cooled Porsche 911 might have left a bitter taste in some collectors’ minds and has turned the 996 generation into one of the most vocally under-appreciated eras of the Porsche 911.

Shining a light on this often-overlooked sports car, the team at Porsche Classic partnered with the Porsche Club of America and transformed a 1998 Porsche 911 Carrera into a one-off creation.

Now aptly dubbed the Porsche 911 Classic Club Coupe, this lowly ’98 911 underwent a thorough restoration while also being extensively modified. Trying to emulate the look of the limited-production 997 911 Sport Classic, this custom Porsche now features a ducktail spoiler similar to the 1972 911 Carrera RS 2.7, a double-bubble roof, and 18-inch forged aluminum Fuchs wheels.

Drawing the connection closer to the Sport Classic, Porsche Classic finished this 911 in sport grey metallic paint with light sport grey metallic and club blue stripes.
