Rosebud status in a population's collective consciousness. Most material items never get there at all, and in terms of automobiledom, there's no shortage of four-wheeled conveyances consigned deservedly to the far corner of history's junkyard., however, needed only a few years—if even that many—to reach the heights of reverence and desirability, not only from Porsche acolytes but a significant cross-section of car enthusiasts who inherently recognize a classic in the making.
Its owner fits the latter description, and then some: This 911 was kindly provided by Patrick Long, native Californian, Porsche brand ambassador, Luftgekühlt co-founder, and recently retired Porsche factory racer whose résumé includes two Le Mans class wins, two IMSA championships, a Blancpain GT World Challenge title, and wins in the Nürburgring 24, and 12 Hours of Bathurst. He bought the 993 about three years ago, and the odometer displays just more than 42,000 miles.
