993 widebody. Is this a Widebody??? Pictures inside

[Porsche944parts]

I was woundering did they ever make 993 widebody in the "Targa" trim???
Is this a Widebody? And what the easiest way to tell?

[Bill Verburg]

no and no

that's a 94 or 95 n/b targa

[Oh Haha]

No 993 Targas in "widebody" were produced by the factory, AFAIK.

Wide body 993's are known as C2s and C4s. The 2 and 4 designating 2 or 4 wheel drive.

How much wider are they? Cause i Have a hard time telling them apart.

[Oh Haha]

You should check out the 993 forum.
1997 C2 vs. 1997 C2S

Can you tell which one is a C2S and which one is not?



The fender appearance is very subtle when they are side by side, but I believe the widebody is 2.5" wider in the rear (edit: that's 1.25" per side). The tell-tale sign is the difference in the rocker appearance.

there was one on craigs list san diego with 45,000 miles for $30k. and a pelican had one with a 100k miles but the suspension, brakes and exhaust were all done up for $32k. and jtkkz had a low mileage c2s for $37k if i remember correctly. just to give you an idea.

Do a search under the username "Rattlesnak" - he did a very similar rebuild.

If you like to rebuild broken cars, can determine the condition of the engine, CEL issues, etc., and can do all the labor yourself, then it's probably worth less than $10K - parts value.

I'd be very concerned with repairing a Targa - that's one expensive roof if things are not working right due to the hit.

Nice wheels, they might be worth having.

sent you PM.

[WI wide body]

I had a standard '96 993 Tip Coupe and the back of this car looks the same. Not sure if they even made any wide body targa 993's. I've never seen one.

+1 i wouldnt even think about this 993. too much work...

[pksystems]

Low ball it :P

Course in Canada, cars at those salvage auctions go for ridiculous amounts

[rattlsnak]

If you dont want it, Ill take it! That is a way easy fix. That being said, i would put the value of that car @ $8-10K tops. There are far too many decent ones out there for mid $20Ks now. Even if you were to spend @ $6k on it to fix it, (which i dont think this one needs) then you could resell it for @ $18-20k range and be ok.

~It all depends on how much you can do yourself. ~

[Porsche944parts]

The car is already at $11,300 for preliminary bid. It will easily bring $12-$14K.
110K miles
Salvage title

I think I rather get into DEPT!!!! LOL

[wachuko]

Nope, that is a narrow body... only 993TTurbo, C2S and C4S were made in wide body (well, and a limited amount of cabriolets as I recently found out...)

[tcar]

BTW, they call the 993 a targa, but it's really a sliding glass sunroof.

And it has many problems. Complicated. Much time/effort/money to keep it operating and not rattling.
