Wow! That is one hell of a find...'98,Pearl White,C4...it could be a 1 of 1? What's the last 4 on the VIN and build date?

Disraeli

Hi Dreamer, last four on the VIN is 1149 but I won't know the build date until it arrives on Friday.

I was told it was a limited edition but assumed that was just dealer speak for, "you're about to pay too much."

I believe it originaly stickered in the neighborhood of $125k. Limited edition indeed.

Cemoto

Maybe $100,200. Turbos were around $115k.

Interesting...mine is 1152...not sure if the C4's had different VIN numbering than the C2's but I'm sure someone will chime in on that. If not, our cars were 3 apart on the production line! If it's a late build, it is probably highly optioned as they were trying to clear the parts shelves of 993 parts as they had already started 996 production in mid-1997 I believe.

Will be intrigued to hear more of the story on this one!

Disraeli

Care to make a little side wager on that?

Cemoto

Absolutely not! Mine is a '95 and I just noticed yours is a '98, sorry.

Here is my COA.

993 C4 Cab for the win! Very nice. They are one of the rarer builds and it sounds like you might have one that's even rarer than usual.

FWIW, the build date was 12/13/97.

MielsOnWheels

Yep, looks like our cars were very close together on the production line as my build date is 12/97 as well.

Both cars were within probably the last 100 or so 993s built for the US market. I think US 993 production ceased around February, 1998.

That's cool!

Disraeli

These cars should meet one of these days.

I had to get on a plane today and this showed up literally 40 minutes before my Uber did...

I did get all the records though and the service book has all the right stamps. Amazing.

Cemoto

That is an absolutely awesome find! Congrats!

Please post the window sticker when you can.

MielsOnWheels

That would be cool...we just need to find #1150 and #1151!

Pains me to see it traveled from CA to CO on an open trailer but glad it's home safely.

Yes, we need to see service, ownership history, and option sticker...and some shots of the interior!

BTW, I am 1148. (very late 11/97 C4S)

OP - congrats on the great barn (I mean garage) find

MielsOnWheels

Very interesting...since numerically you're right in front of OP's car but build dates are a month apart that indicates that Porsche didn't sequentially VIN# the cars as they went down the line...perhaps because you have an S car?

Dr. Ferdinand

Could be, indeed (because of an S car that is; in fact there were only 299 C4Ss made in all of the 1998 MY so who knows how Porsche did the order of these through the assembly line).

I have to look at my COA, but I believe my car was assembled on 11/28, so indeed they can be sequential if the OP's car was assembled in early December. Technically in different production months but in reality just a few days apart.
