The 996 C4S Cabriolet was only made from 2004-05, as far as I'm aware. However I am no expert and am relying on this community to help me in my quest to accomplish this, a "996 C4S Cabriolet Registry". I am interested in starting a registry for these specific models. So far the only information I have been able to gather is the years and would like to compile a list of Vin #'s, options, mileage, history etc. ie like the 40th AE registry. Of course I have visited the Porsche Museum, purchased, read, and have researched several publications, periodicals, and books on the C4S cab but there is not a lot of the specific information. Additionally, in order to accomplish this I'd like to hear from current owners.

Thanks for helping us identify, detail and document. Your historically accurate, pertinent and valuable information will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Tim, thanks. I'm glad you posted. I have no idea of how many cars were made in that rare color, it's beautiful and unique. It's the first I have seen. Is or was yours a special order? What type of wheels are those and have you made modifications. Cheers!
