So I made a side trip on my way from a job site to the office to take a photo of a movie theater for the #oppohunt , and as I headed back to my car (in the background above this stunner) I saw another target for the hunt, and a very nice car, as well.

The owner was sitting on a park bench having a socially distanced visit with a buddy on a facing bench. He was very happy for my interest in the car, and explained to me that it is a 1998 911 S, but because it was in the last run of 500 air-cooled 993s, they had run out of regular bodies and so it got a turbo body. He said it is the only 911 S that is slower than a regular 911, due to the bodywork, if I heard him correctly. “ Arena R e d” beauty.

For those in the Hunt, I chose to tag this as air-cooled rather than rear-engine, since I had to choose. I can either get a VW bus or a modern 911 for rear-engine, I think.

What a pleasant surprise it was to see this, regardless of the Oppo Hunt!

Oh wow.  That’s a rare car.  Definitely the 993 Carrera I’d want, being a sucker for widebois.

As I walked closer and closer to it, the more excited I got. Much want. If I didn’t have so much work I might have checked how serious he was about taking it for a drive. I was already pushing things by detouring for the Hunt.

Arena red is so good. Nice spot!

Somewhere a chain smoking Japanese man is wondering if he can make it wider...

Quite the rare find! Less than 3300 993 C2S cars made. The C4 also shares the turbo bodyshell as well.

The 993 C2S is my dream 911. I know it’ s slower but I love the thicc fender flares. Too bad everyone else does too, so prices are still stratospheric.

Arena Red is Best Red.

I drove a Turbo one with those wheels, it was magical

I’m legitimately disappointed that nobody got the alternator is a Turbo joke.

This is the best NA 993 short of an RS.

Nice car!

We had a similar dilemma with a Defender. Do we tag it as RHD, British, or not available in the US?
