Default Mike Gilbert photoshoot

Mike Gilbert shot my 993 in Seattle last month. He's a great guy, and very talented. For those of you in Seattle who would like your car photographed, I would highly suggest contacting him: www.mikegilbertphotography.com

The car is for sale in the member to member for sale section of rennlist for $45k. It was a fun build and a blast to drive for a month, but I'm ready to move on. Thinking about traveling abroad for a year while i'm still young.

Enjoy the photos

I only have one question.

Why

So beautiful/special. What could possibly eclipse that car?

Fair question Rich. I'm just one of those guys who is always wanting to change things up and drive something different. There are a lot of great cars out there to own, and I want to experience that. Another big reason is, I'm 26 years old; I don't own a house, and I have no idea where I'll be living this fall. I'm currently looking for the right job opportunity, and I'm looking everywhere. it doesn't make much sense for me to own a 993 at this point in my life.

Amazing car!

I would so love to have a set of brake ducts (in place of the fogs) like those? Are they custom or can you point me to a source for them?

Ok- understood.

Why the lobster plate ?

I use to vacation in Maine every summer-really miss that place. Especially the lobster.

Just keep in mind you may never come across a car like yours agian as time goes by.

Good luck with the job search.

Regards Rich

WOW, that is a lot of time, effort & money to flip it so soon!
I haven't even seen it in person yet, hopefully some one local will get it.

I love the pics! I saw the hi-rez one from the WaterWerks calendar.

Wow, what a fantastic looking car! Love the photos with the Seattle skyline in the background too, really brings back the memories having grown up in that area...I have to say that I love the sunshine and warm (OK hot) weather down here in Texas.
