Last I heard, Truspeed had it for sale. I bet they could put you in touch with the new owner... if they're willing.

Hopefully, they'll confirm they sold it to this Atlanta-area eBayer, who then attempted to sell it. Photos from his auction:

$225,000 USD as of ~March '07.

I'm guessing they sold it for less than $209,000...

Original Owner: Jerry Seinfeld
Car: 1997 PORSCHE 911 TURBO S – 8,131 MILES
Location: DULUTH, GA, United States
BUY IT NOW PRICE: $209,000.00 USD


This 1997 Porsche 911 Turbo ‘S’ is the only one ever produced in the unique BLUE TURQUOISE color. This car was special ordered by Jerry Seinfeld and flown over to CA when the car was completed – this $4K charge is on the copy of the window sticker. The seller has the certificate of authenticity, copies of some service records and a copy of Jerry’s original title.

Seinfeld put 7,839 miles on the car before he sold it on April 14, 2005 and it has since been traded among several collectors since. He had the special phone console installed at the dealer in Los Angeles as well as European springs added – everything else in 100% stock condition.

The car (Vin # – WPOAC2991VS375741) has zero flaws and has just been serviced at the local dealership in Atlanta. The special ordered yellow seat belts and floor mats are a beautiful blend w/ the stock S brake calipers and is simply a breath taking Porsche. The car also features a carbon fiber steering wheel as well as the carbon fiber backed heated sport seats.

The owner is condensing his collection and it must go.

I bought my rear wing from a guy in ATL that knows the owner of the car. They live in the same subdivision. I don't know if the car ever sold or if this ATL guy still has it.
