i saw this in the PCA classifieds IIRC...my reaction was that the price seemed to low for a 97 tt... I think that this car either represents a really good deal or something might be going on... but definitely worth the trip to go find out... good luck!

Interesting - it has the sport seats and the phone console - very rare. It also has extra footwell lighting that I guess came with the console.

i wonder if the phone console can be removed to appear as a normal equipped car... not crazy about it myself, but if as advertised, everything else with this car is just right...

I'd keep it - makes it more special.

Somebody recently converted a similar phone console to an aux instrument pod. Looked great, and very functional.

the center panel is easy to remove (once you know how - thanks Kelly) and my upcoming winter project is to fashion a replacment. Contents TBD

I met Mike this morning and we went to Kelly-Moss Motorsports who was nice enough to fit the car in for a PPI. The car was on the lift when we arrived. It's immaculate.

I owe so much to Seljan..... He had me get out of my $200 town car and picked me up. He drove me about 45 minutes - 1 hour (Its my 30th and I was so hung over I had no sense of time) to see the car that I ended up purchaseing. Mr. Seljan also made the ppi possible... They had no availability until he called. All cylinders were under 6% for whatever that means and Kelly is a top notch shop. Also, they have all records to the car. Needless to say, I am very excited. Thank you all for your input and offers to help.

Ad for the car was here. I found the ad 2 nights ago and made an offer. It was then de-listed. Kelly Motorsport is installing PSS9 and shipping the car back to me.

Michael,

I looked at that ad, and I must say, the car is beautiful and beautifully optioned. You are gonna love it. Congratulations. You MUST have the car here by 30 July for the big car gathering in Calabasas... all the local guys want to see your new baby. For details, contact me: ca993twin@yahoo.com
