6 SPEED MANUAL ZENITH BLUE C2S; TASTEFULLY UPGRADED BY "MR 993" RUDY MANCINAS

HCC is pleased to make available this incredibly special 1998 993 Carrera S that was extensively upgraded ("Rudy-fied") by noted Porsche collector Rudy "Mr 993" Mancinas. With just over 1,700 US-spec Carrera S (C2S) models imported between 1997 and 1998, the C2S is already an extremely rare car. Rarer, in fact, than the 993 Turbo, of which roughly 1,900 were imported. Compounding that rarity is this car's equipment with the 6 speed manual transmission and gorgeous color combination: Zenith Blue Metallic over Cashmere.

Upon his purchase, Rudy proceeded to customize this C2S in the fashion that made both him and his collection of 993s famous. Inside, he added the trademark hardback sport seats with backs painted Zenith Blue, FD short shift kit with Goldenrod, Rennline aluminum pedals with heel-toe extension, yellow seatbelts, 996 GT3 steering wheel, and an Alpine head unit with Focal speakers and an external amplifier. Outside, it rides on Billstein PSS10 coilovers and 18" TechArt Formula wheels finished in silver. Further cosmetic updates to the exterior include Morimoto HIDs, removal of front and rear bumperettes, euro brake lights, and Giallo Fly (a Ferrari yellow) painted calipers. Lastly, to further dial in performance and driving enjoyment, he added an RS Shock Tower brace, RS motor mounts, and a Fister Stage 3 exhaust.

On HCC's receipt of this car, we proceeded to thoroughly go through it and make a number of services and repairs. A full front-end respray was done to correct for road rash and rock chips, leaving the Zenith Blue paint showroom fresh once again. The power-steering rack was replaced to correct a leaking unit, both front brake pads and rotors were replaced, several engine O-rings and gaskets were replaced, a full oil service was performed, and a brake flush was completed.

This striking C2S is both a fabulous example of a "Rudy-fied" 993 and a rare, last-year widebody Carrera S and is offered fully serviced with a clean Texas title.
