1,752C2S993 examplesmadefor all of North America (1997-98)
Figure 1/2 were made the last year of 1998?
Figure at least 25% were Automatic transmission? Or more.
You get about658C2S Manual trans cars in 1998.
How many were Glacier white? Not many, since black and silver were hot then.
You are looking at the last year for a hand built Porsche. A more desirable and rare rear wheel example, it does not smoke, or leak. Maintenance cataloged back to 1999 that is well organized reflecting the cars life of attentive mantenance. You will not spend a dime on this car except for on gasoline and wax. It is 100% perfection and I will miss it terribly, especially when it's worth $100K in 5yrs.
Condition is staggering for a car with half the mileage. I fiendishly address every little tiny detail in this car. Naturally it would be best to see the car in person and drive it. If you are on the Porsche forums, I may be able to refer to you some people we know in common. Perhaps they have seen the car at PCA events in Colorado or Washington, or the famous 993FEST. I've been pretty active in the Pacific Northwest, and now here in Colorado.

This is a driver's car, but it's finish is that of a 20,000 mile car. It's that nice.
No issues in the trademark Porsche problem areas:
1. no rust, no bubbles
2. no bad door hinges
3. no bad door locks
4. no service engine light
5. no smoke at startup

Most recent serviceworthy of note:
****10/7/201072,560 major sevice, filters, oil, interior hepa filter, distributor rotors, gaskets for leaky valve covers and more. Akers Porsche Seattle.
***Last oil change 6/5/14 82500, which reminds me I have extra filters for you. I'l l put them in the trunk. (changing oil on a dry sump car is best done w/a lift if you are over 40yrs old.
SAIC :This is not an issue w/this car. But it can be with any OBD2 car, if you don't drive at the right RPM range for the cars. If you want Varioram power, you get OBD2 as a bonus. If you need an education about this futher, I’m happy to discuss, but most P-Car guys understand this already.
Does it burn oil?Not a drop….. Of course it burns oil, but not a notable amount. I don’t track this kind of stuff like some maniacs do. I’m aware if you burn over a quart/1000 miles you should be alarmed, It doesn't.
Have I tracked or raced the car?I have not, But It’s done over 150mph more than once, shame on me.
Storage, I’ve had it under a spandex cover in a heated garage since I bought it. Not an operating room, just a regular garage with a couple space heaters.
owners; 3 owners were drivers. 2 were enthusiasts/collectors that put negligible miles on the car. Check the Carfax
Note: I have entered the displacement incorrectly above, it is 3.6L. My apologies.
