I suspect that someone here may know of this beauty.

I think if someone were heading down that way, this one might be more interesting to look at for the right buyer. Especially after all the red rocket posts and info as of late.

First thing that caught my eye was that the "S" on the rear decklid was crooked. I wasn't surprised to hear it had other underlying issues.

Good eye!!!

I believe that the "S" is also to close to the last "a" in Carerra.

I stopped in at Mohr recently...sat in the white 993 Targa but didn't see this red beast. Wasn't that impressed with the store.

Sorry for not searching before posting but I now know the correct rear-deck letter spacing.

One question: I wonder if the 993 C4S script specifications are the same specifications as on the '10 C4S?

P.S. A bit humbled by being taken by the candy...not the 1st time and likely not the last...

This one has plenty of issues including fogging of the odometer gauge glass and the number six on the odo is scratched. I can't believe they are asking so much for it.

Been down to Mohr's and not impressed with inventory. However, the (under cover) cars in storage for other owners in the back area can be quite impressive. Got to wander while the sales guy was busy.
