At least it does not have a sunroof, BIG plus in my book.
What are these headlight washers? look nothing like those on my '89.
Are the calipers correct for the year, with the raised ridges?
And a lick of paint on the rear drums would be a nice touch at that price.

It's all about the production #s. As the ad states: "One of 84 produced in 1994."
Silly, for a C2...
So glad my "regular" C2 doesn't have those super ugly headlight washers!

The shroud is there, it's just torn to **** and missing the duct portion that mates w/ the rear blower.
Sucks for the motor that instead of all that air being pushed over the cylinders and cooling the engine, it is just dumping out to the path of least resistance.

I did not realize that the 1994 RSA's had headlight cleaners either? I guess they did, but I am surprised that Porsche would add that back in 1994. Guess they also added back in the rear seats.
I always thought that the 1994 RSA's were not as pure (and not quite as light) as the 1993 RSA because of those rear seats and belts. And now the headlight cleaners………The 1994 is MUCH more like a regular C2.
Granted - I always thought the rear seat delete was totally cool on my 1993 RSA that I am the original owner of. But now that I have 7-5 year old sons that can't ride in the car with no back seats and no airbag turn off - I sometimes wish I had those back seats.

Yep, seats added back in in '94.

Not that the seats/belts are that much heavier than the 18 lb. plywood storage bin.

They did not have headlamp washers.
Any number of RSAs have had incidents (on track or otherwise), this one likely had its bumper replaced at some point. Or, a PO plumbed in the headlamp washing system. Or it was special ordered from the factory (least likely). But it certainly wasn't standard.

18 lbs...
Ken - good to know that they did not have the washers!
911Jetta - 18 lbs for that rear shelf! Damn - I should pull that out tonight. Problem is that actually find it useful to put stuff under, and still have storage on top.
And I have Porsches 6 disc changer mounted under the shelf, because I did not want to take up room in the front truck. I got the 6 disc change back near when the car was new - back then it was a cool thing to have
I can not believe the thing still works…..Same with the Cassette deck in the front!
So I actually thought about pulling the shelf and adding the seat belts to make bucket seats for my kids (I have a friend with a RSA that did just this). But quickly decided against it, because it would mean that I had to remove my 4 point roll bar that has been in there about 19 years now. (picture attached).
