Default Searching for info regarding a specific 993

Hi,

I'm searching for info regarding a red Porsche 993.
It was imported to Sweden in 2011 but previous to that it was located in Pennsylvania with the previous owner from 2003 who had put around 130k miles on it.

The Vin is WP0AA2996SS320865
It someone has any information regarding its US history outside of what carfax can present to me I would be very grateful for the information.

It seems to be somewhat built or upgraded for track use due to:
Gemballa coilovers
RS spoiler and front
Rear window wiper delete

Some carfax history points to these places:

Ira Audi
Peabody, MA
978-739-8888

Acura of PeabodyPeabody, MA978-826-2319

I'm happy for any and all of the info you have.

Best regards
A becoming 993 owner.

Image from an earlier owner and a former sales advertisement.

Well this is what it looked like in 2017. I don't want to use the photos from the car company that has it for sale today. However going to looknat the car tomorrow and could take some photos at that time.

Given the mods, I would think there's a strong chance the car would be known to members of the closest PCA (Porsche Club of America) chapter. www.pca.org. Each chapter has a website that usually has e-mail addresses for the officers. There are several in that area so you may need to look at a few of the sites to learn which is closest to the city where the car last was. https://www.pca.org/region-directory?field_zone_tid=451

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the feedback.
All look into that possibility.

The issues with this car is that the history between 2008 until export date in 2011 is kind of unknown. No sign of milage registration in carfax and if the owner did around 130k the first 5 years of ownership I can't imagen it just standing for the rest of the time.

​​​​​At import the Swedish department of road has the only registration of milage from 2008.

So IV now recived some info from the first Swedish user that wing and front was bought and installed in Sweden so it should have hade a kind of stock look to it back in the days.
Red with grey leather interior.

I must say that covering around 130k miles on 4,5 years feels like a real accomplishment but it might be that the weather in Pennsylvania is slightly better then here in Sweden.
