What would be a good price to buy a 98S wide body cab, metallic deep red color, 25k miles and in good condition....thanks for your opinions and expertise....

briefescape

more info needed because 98 S widebody cab is not a porsche OEM item .
Who did the conversion ? Where were parts from ? without that info it can be a run away from it or it could be priceless .

Is it that car in AZ (IIRC) that was suposedly one a the one's done by Beverly Hills Porsche?

Agreed, more info is needed as factory widebody did not equal a cab

I looked at a local (California) white 98 S cab for a Rennlister in Florida. This car had factory S (widebody) options, and we figured it was quite rare. I don't recall any of the details of the transaction (a couple of years ago), but perhaps a few S cabs snuck their way out?

You guys are good!!! I did not know that this wasnt a factory option..my bad....the car is currently at a dealership in NV, Reno..its currently on ebay...if its a conversion, is it worth any more than a narrow body factory car????

scycle2020,
If you read my post, it raises the question if there were some 98 S Cabs produced by the factory. The one I mention seemed to have all the right factory codes for the wide body. If there were some factory wide body cabs, they would be quite rare, and quite valuable. If it was an aftermarket conversion, the quality of the work will determine if it is worth more or less than a standard 98 Cab.

Perhaps as common as a 993 S Speedster

The Reno car is Beverly Hills Porsche C2S Cab as far as I know. With that being said, is it factory? No. BHP had them done locally, not in Germany and not in the factory. They started out as NB cabs and were redone with S flares at the rear, S rockers, & S bumper covers. These cars are more rare than NB cabs and do command a premium over them. If I am wrong and it isn't a BHP car, it's all gonna come down to the work, either way I guess it comes down to the work.

I did call about the car, they wanted $48k for it which I thought was a great price and that they didn't know what they had.

Do I care for WB 993 cabs? No See my signature!

Anyone know where the resale of that car went? Did Cupcar (?) end up selling it?

allill

Yes, it was sold. I asked about him about it but didn't ask the actual selling price. I know he was asking around $70k.

Sprintrider checked this car out for lthatch about 2 weeks ago, but I don't know why he lost interest. I would PM one or both of them. It is at Sierra Classics and Imports. If you need any additional help checking it out, I will be back in town on Saturday.

Ok, Wow, this is B.S., from a thread here for Porsche electric conversions, I found this 993 body conversion kit.

What does this have to do with this thread ???

I believe there were a few factory widebody 993 cabriolets... not aftermarket conversions... Jim from Florida has one.
