Having it sitting sideways on those wooden ramps looks super sketchy.

There is someone on my block with a 993 C2 that he keeps outside or in the street all the time, looks neglected. Any idea what something to the middle or bottom of the market is on one of these?

bottom would be 25k in piss poor condition and I would say a decent middle of the road 993 c2 would be in the high 30’s low 40’s

Those HRE wheels look real nice on it. They remind me of the OZ Futura’s, non-dished…

Looking good!! Poopra, I noticed that blue 993 in your hood too, was tempted to ask about it. The way it’s treated, they probably don’t think it’s worth a lot.

Thanks guys!! From what I saw when researching to buy mine you can’t touch anything worth buying in a c2 stick coupe for under $40-45k. But if they don’t know what they have then you never know. But restoring a pile won’t obviously be cheap either. Parts for these cars are very expensive so I’d say unless you stole it you’ll end up paying $40k one way or another. I’d love to know how much they want for it. I’d buy another :snky: Ask them for me! @Xander

i haven’t updated this in a while, car is essentially done. wait on safe light to install the new rs back glass, by then my wheels will be in, after i can have the glass tinted to match the rest of the car and then my roll bar can go in, alignment and burnouts!

The new cockpit is very nice. Happy with how it came out.
