Default 1994 C4 widebody. Rare?
Cruising eBay, saw this. Quite rare, I expect. Overpriced? Comments by experts?

I called him and he wanted 33K.
The fact that there is little or no movement is a sign of the economic times and the fact that it is a 100K mile car.
Nice ride though.

It is quite rare and I have the 2WD Cab version of the widebody. Garret here on RL has one for sale in the classifieds and can probably give you tons of info. If you were in the market for one, I would seriously consider Garret' 964WB before any of the ebay ones.

America stuff:

Other models offered during '93 included an RS America coupe and the America Roadster that mated a Turbo cabriolet body with the standard 3.6-liter, normally aspirated engine and deleted the rear seats.
A turbo-bodied cabriolet version was released in 1993. This had the standard electric spoiler and turbo guards. Mechanically it was the same as the standard model apart from 17" cup wheels and the brakes and suspension which were 'Jubilee' specification. Only 250 of this variant were produced.

I'm not aware of a WB cab though, other than the aforementioned AR cars or Speedsters.

Widebody 964s are some of the best looking 911s ever made. The only thing better is a 965 which has the bite to match its bark

I think they rightfully carry a hefty premium over their NB counterparts, especially in light of their low production. Hard to believe that car hasn't sold yet, but someone will get a great deal in this market.

The WB 964s (non-turbo) are rare, but apparently not loved right now, based on the fact that this car is still available at this price. It has been on the market for a couple months at least. I think a $10K+ premium over a comparable C2 is difficult to obtain, especially in this market. I like them, but of course, I am biased.

I sold a 100K mile widebody last year for $24K, not near as nice as black one in auction. There have been quite a few of these for sale in the last 6 months, I have seen low mileage examples advertised in the mid 30's.

There are only 2 cars I'd trade my cab for- a WB cab, or a Turbo. Anyone?
