My eBay purchase (1998 C2S) arrived...amazing!
A few pages back, I have a thread describing my eBay purchase of a 1998 C2S (Previously a Rennlisters car). Here is the eBay link with a ton of pictures of the car.

The car is absolutely flawless. The truck dropped it off yesterday at 5:30, so I had time for a spirited drive and a quick wash...I cannot find flaw.
What's more, I had a chance to get under the car while it was on the truck...no engine tray. 100% dry in all of the noticeable placed, not even a weep...the tech who serviced the car for the past 8 years confirmed this as well, but it is always nice to for yourself.
Service records, oh my, as organized a collection I have ever seen...have not even had a chance to dig in yet! I did see the 19K 3.8L conversion...Every manual, book, VHS tape, Key chain with the "drop in the mail' if anyone finds the keys, original window sticker, letter to owner, key card code, radio card...you name it, it is in there...
The 3.8...well, I am blown away...I notice it 100%...could also be the RS clutch and LWF adding to the feeling, but it pulls NOTICEABLY harder than my other 993s.
Will post more when I have a chance to put some miles on her...see attached picture, it is safe to say, she is home with her sisters!
1996 Arena Red Cab- My wife's
1998 Arctic/Terracotta Cab- Mine (full leather, more options than a turbo, seriously!)
1998- Arctic/Boxster Red C2S coupe

Congrats!
Congrats! Looks awesome, especially next to the others! 
By the way, the link above is broken. I think you may have cut and pasted the truncated link from another message, instead of the full URL. Here is the full, unbroken URL...

I found it in your first posting, from back in September.
Congrats again! Enjoy!

Congratulations again! Looks like it really was a great buy. Nothing better than a happy ending.
Hope to see it soon!
You going to make it down to Laguna Seca this weekend?

anthony,
congrats.
however, it appears to me that you have no clue how to park. too much gap b/n cars, but nothing another two 993 wouldn't fix. a 993TTS and a 993GT2 would round up the collection.
