I was curious if you had a bigger picture to post? I couldn't quite make out the VIN etched in the glass.

This David Hodges?

Edit: maybe not. That was the first thing that popped up in a Google search...

My dealer in Denver has a 996 GT3 that is regularly driven in local track events and is regularly sitting on their showroom floor.

My local dealer has had one or two sitting in their showroom this year.
Both sold quickly.
They are classics, don't ya know?

Hey, I've ridden in that car at TWS! (OP took me for a ride a few years back when I was there at a DE).

There's a very nice 6GT3 indoors at my local dealer (used) for almost $80k.

I am surprised to see a GT3 with a sunroof. Am I missing something?
