Vehicle History:

Car was originally sold at Flemington Porsche in New Jersey as per the included original window sticker. From what I understand it then had two previous owners who pampered the car with upgrades and preventative maintenance as evidenced by the service records and receipts that I have totaling >$15,000. I purchased the car from Holt Motorsports in West Chester, PA in May 2013. I purchased the car with 27,905mi on the odometer at that time it was appraised by an independent auto appraisal service for $43,000. I purchased it with intentions of creating a streetable track monster. I did just that for a few DE seasons then have spent the past year converting the car to Spec996 trim. I have receipts for well over $50k in parts, spare car and service over the past 3.5 years (I’m scared to add it up any further). I have spared no expense in preventative maintenance, service, performance parts, and cosmetic upgrades in order to achieve my goal of one of the nicest Spec996’s in the country. I've also built this to be a 'No Excuses' car. If I can't get the car on the podium the blame is on me and not the car. I believe it needs nothing but a good shoe who is comfortable with the setup to get it there.

Motor let go this summer. I was able to find a VERY clean ~35k mile 2004 manual transmission C2 with front end damage as a parts car. It is currently undergoing engine swap by my professional mechanic who has decades of Porsche, BMW and Exotic car experience. The parts car still has a full interior and would run and drive when purchased. While out the new engine is getting L&N IMS, RMS, new clutch, AOS, lightweight flywheel and misc other sensors and refreshing.

I understand that it may be a bit faux pas to post a car for sale that is going thru engine swap. I just wanted to get this car on the market, as I know there may be some out there that are looking for new cars for the upcoming season. Both engines are already out and just awaiting new seals and final parts to be delivered prior to reinstall. I will be happy to share my mechanic’s contact info and inspections by potential buyers are welcomed.

Bought a Chumpcar for my wheel-to-wheel fix and am looking for a Radical to DE.

Imperfections/The Bad:
I have spared no expense ensuring that the car performs flawlessly. With that being said it is a track car and has some cosmetic imperfections. Overall, it is a stunning track car. The only mechanical issue known at this time is a small grind while shifting very quickly from 2-3 later in the sessions after the car heats up. I know of no other issues at this time and any issues will be addressed as the new motor goes in.

Disclaimer:
I have done my best to describe the car history, parts, upgrades, and imperfections to the best of my ability, but I am human. It is the responsibility of the potential purchaser to confirm any inconsistencies. I have nothing to hide and will do everything possible to answer any questions.

I can vouch for this car/owner and for the Porsche tech who built it. This is a really nice, and essentially brand new race car.

Sorry to see it go, Philip.
