Marking the final year of the Porsche 993 as well as the air-cooled 911, this 1998 example is a rare Carrera 2S version sporting wider bodywork and a unique split-grille rear decklid. It comes finished in Arena Red Metallic over a Classic Grey interior and features optional Sport Seats, the Motor Sound Package, leather interior upholstery, 18” hollow-spoke wheels, and exclusive aluminum and carbon fiber trim pieces. It was sold new in Florida and remained with its original owner before being acquired by a car collector in Germany. The car eventually returned to Florida between 2016 and 2017 where it is now being offered for auction showing approximately 21k miles on the odometer.
This Coupe is finished in the quintessential 993 color of Arena Red Metallic and features optional stainless-steel tailpipes as well as 18” Technology hollow-spoke wheels derived from the 911 Turbo. The seller describes evidence of paintwork based on meter readings and notes the clear stone guards have been removed from the rear quarter panels. New Continental Extreme Contact Sport tires were mounted in 2022. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The Classic Grey interior is equipped with optional electrically adjustable Sport Seats in leather along with leather trim covering the rear seats, dashboard, and door panels. Factory-exclusive options include a carbon fiber gear knob, handbrake, and steering wheel, stainless steel door entry guards with model logos, aluminum-look instrument dials, and a leather-covered CD storage compartment. All gauges and accessories are said to be fully functional and the factory specifications label on the underside of the hood reveals the following equipment codes:

- X52 – Leather Covered CD Storage Compartment
- X54 – Stainless Steel Tailpipes, Oval

@tampabaysportscars - Fair enough and thank you for confirmation. Here's a link about this very topic:
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/porsche-964-993-technical-forum/405296-got-rid-993-front-bumperettes-kind-how.html
@Archer1 Well, I misunderstood what the mechanic did years ago when I spoke to him before writing you. Yes, The bumper was modified, but not replace, so yes the bumper was painted.
Sorry for the confusion
@tampabaysportscars -Thx for the reply, however this C2S being a US version, converting to Euro front bumper lights is not a Plug N-Play mod when the rubber Bumperettes are removed leaving a square cutout between the fog and turn signal lights on the bumper cover. So, either the bumper cover has to be patched or replaced with an Euro version which in either case, requires paintwork. Thx
@Archer1 I'll answer in the order you ask
1. I don't like stone guards so I never put them on unless requested
2. They were not replaced only the lights
3. yes it has been lowered.
All were done prior to me buying the car, and prior to it going to Germany, other than the rock guards issue
@tampabaysportscars (seller) - Beautiful C2S and nicely presented. 3 questions:
Can you tell us why the Qtr panel stone guards not renewed after the paint work, have the front bumper cover been replaced with a Euro spec, and has car been lowered? Thx

@1966corvette Normally, As part of my service I deal directly with the buyer and do not involve or reveal my seller. If there is some reason you feel you need to involve my seller, please contact me privately and I’ll be more than glad to listen.

Can this purchase be made as a private sale, not dealer sale?
@tampabaysportscars thank you sir, makes perfect sense!! Dials / Cluster looks gorgeous on this car! GLWS!!
@JJ.Porsche Well, they were not addressed correctly some years ago. When we try to remove the rock guards before listing the car we found that the original removal had not been done correctly and someone had covered up their mistake by just replacing the new rock guards over their mistake.
So to be able to professionally blend the paint correctly we took the action we did.
Hope this helps
Charley
Beautiful 993 C2S and excellent presentation. If I can ask, why were the quarter panels painted after film removal jeopardizing originality of such low mileage beautiful machine? I have film removed and replaced on all of my cars, never a cause for repainting?
Many thanks -

What's not to like - low miles, great options and beautiful color. I was starting to believe these cars only came in silver or black.
@artichoke 100% that is Rubicon carpet but not seats which throws me off , my Arena Red TT came with seats and carpet in Rubi that and is soo much better than classic gray

Rennwagen - included invoice from June 2022 shows line item of $1350 for painting quarter panels confirming what you note. Removing the old stone guards can be an artform and is very time consuming to do correctly without damaging paint.
The carpet looks like Rubicon Gray, which has a slightly purple tint to it, (I have that color carpet and leather in my 96 993 C4 Cab). Was that standard with this color gray interior?
Gorgeous car! Any check engine light or other issues?
Bid in the amount of $45,000
Gorgeous car and great options! Perhaps the old, yellowed or crusted stone guards were removed and the rear quarters needed refinishing because of that. Paint meter seems consistent with this.
Beautiful C2S....just a note of clarification, only Turbo and C4S came with the turbo (red) larger brakes, not the C2S.
Very nice car that should not get killed because of well done paint work. These cars are getting older and most will have paint work if they have been driven. Enjoy the bidding process. TD
Great looking C2.
Any chance you can post some pictures of the undercarriage?
The "Kills Bugs Fast" poster color! Great example of a desirable split grill 993. GLWS.
