Can you tell us the story of how you found it? She looks amazing!
The story of how I found it ---- I have been looking for about a year for an S model car. I would have been happy with either a 96, 97 or 98 C4S or C2S but my prime goal was a 98 C2S like this car. I found it advertised on cars.com. I called the previous owner and found out that he was the second owner. He had purchased the car in the Fall of 2006 with 35,500 miles on the car and had only driven it about 13000 miles in the last seven years. Meticulous service records and a flawless PPI made negotiations over price pretty straight forward and we arranged the purchase in a single phone conversation.

I am looking forward to lots of great Pcar trips in the future, most likely Cars and Coffee in Lafayette CO next month.

Definitely the Porsche Parade in Monterey next summer and hopefully we will all know soon the time and place for Rennsport Reunion V!

Thanks to everyone for following this trip of a lifetime for me as a 993 enthusiast. After driving the car across country and bringing it home it is a time capsule that I wasn't sure I would be able to find.

More adventures to come.

Rudy, you already know this but this is the first time I have had a car with the sport seats. They are a nice improvement to the 993.

Now my challenge is to keep this car as nice as I found it.

Cheers!

Default Painted Seat Backs ????
Rudy,

Painted seat backs - Zenith Blue or Vesuvius ???

Well, OK maybe just Arctic Silver.

Will have to look into it.
