Sold today! It sucks not having it anymore......

The guy who bought it is a Porsche enthusiast, races 944's. He liked mine, said it handled well, no power issues and liked the fact that I cared for the car. I was open about everything that I thought was wrong with the car, paint chips, tires, battery is still the same one but never had issues. Pointed out where the 3 dings where etc. Gave him all my parts for 996's except the IMS tools. He didn't want the Cup tires though, so those are for sale.

Nice guy, glad it went to a good home. I'm going to be looking at a 1970 Targa roller this week we'll see where it goes. 3/1/11 never forget.


I'll put the cup tires up in the For Sale section.

He saw it on Autotrader, and he has a life therefore no car forums.... But he did know about the IMS.

Congratulations Ed. My wife misses our Vesuvio car. For a while we had his and her's 99 996s. It was fun. In my years of Porsche ownership, I have only seen two other Vesuvio cars, in person. Good luck with the project.

Yeah it's a pretty sweet color especial when the other parts are dark (like the wheels).

There is a Vesuvio Metallic GT3RS for sale on Pelican if you're interested!!!!!

I think it looks pretty sweet!

I was asking $22,900 on Autotrader, got $20,200.00 and kept the tires. So I'm estimating out the door I'm coming out with $21,000.00 which is what I offered to Rennlist folks.

I also did not have to pull the dings out which I figured would have ran $200 bucks. I'm happy with the price. It gives me a good starting budget to start the next project.
