100lbs give or take over the C2S. C2S LSD was optional? HA! What good is that for the track! Most didn’t have LSD. C4S for the win! LSD standard. Loose the stock seats for Recaro Abe’s and loose the 100lbs right there! DONE! Time to educate y’all. C2S is not all it’s cracked up to be. Basic C2 on a WB shell is it folks.

Add another red dot above that 170K mark. Tarek just sold another C2S on BaT for over $180K today.

This one made me want to go out to my garage and hug my C4S (even though it doesn't have the split grill).
"When we were given the job of doing the S I wanted to somehow amplify the significance of this being the last air cooled 911, not just the 993 but this particular model.
Think about that, the last air cooled Porsche, ever.
So the split grill was my answer, a call back to the twin grill 356.
A work of art?
No, but thanks for the compliment.
It is, however, a significant sealing stamp at the end of an era.
I have not wanted to comment on auctions to avoid influencing the result but I guess I have now “outed” myself.
What a beautiful example, congratulations to the seller and buyer."

Its been a while since I tried to scope out the value of my car, a single owner 1996 C2 that I purchased brand spanking new in May of that year, polar silver, stick shift. Am I to understand this car with 111K miles is now worth almost $100K or am I reading this wrong? Holy crap. Not that I plan to sell it. Mine is the only butt that has ripped a fart in the driver's seat and its gonna stay that way, but jeez, what's happened to car prices? Surely this is a bubble. Oh well.

It’s not a bubble. Last iteration of the Air Cooled era and mostly hand built. Porsche will never make them again. These cars will continue to go up in value.

It's the epitome of a bubble.

Split grill
Did anyone happen to see one of the last comments in that thread? There is a gent with the handle of "Takefive" with this comment...I wish I could "follow" him on BaT...he also has a comment in a CGT sale that is really important relative to the design...
