Default Love the Ducktail on this car!

A basically new 997 Sport Classic for sale at Porsche of Monterey. I've never seen one of these before. It's evidently a special edition car that was only sold originally in Germany. I like the intakes molded into the ducktail as well as the rear bumper. I also liked the understated stripes and the roof line..

I posted the same pics in the GT3 forum a few days ago. Epic car. And only $550k!

Oh my. That looks absolutely perfect. Perfect color, too. That price, though. 😢

I'll be picking up my C2 GTS at Monterey this weekend and look forward to drooling over this car...

It has only 150 miles on it, and it looks it. The interior is gorgeous.

Did anyone happen to notice the black Speedster in the 3rd pic? Only asking $499k for that beauty.

I think it was brought in via that "show & Display" law Bill Gates was instrumental in passing with his 959.

That black speedster came from the same owner. Evidently a collector who passed and both cars were either sold or consigned to Monterey by his widow.

I saw it in person. The SC is way more impressive than the Speedster. The latter just looks like a used car.

+ 1 to that! You'd have to be a real collector to cough up 500K for the speedster!

A couple more pics. Love the stripes and they have those stripes running on the background of the tach gauge as well which is really cool! Pics just don't do the car justice! (Hood is popped in that picture.)
