I've been going back and forth on this for quite some time, but it's time to move on. Selling my 2004 996GT3, 26.7k miles, $68k.

This is the only known example of a GT3 in Minerva Blue, special ordered by the original owner, Otis Chandler.

Natural brown full leather interior, painted dash trim strip & air vents, cruise control are the only factory options which brought the original sticker to $115,895.

Second owner was (former?) Rennlist member CodeRed, who owned the car from ~2k miles to 14k miles.

Aftermarket options include:
Euro GT3 driver's seat in Natural brown leather
Schroth 6-pt harness(blue)
Safecraft fire ext. w/Brey Krause bracket mounted to driver's seat
Tequipment roll bar w/cross brace
RS gear shifter & handbrake lever in alcantara w/blue stitching
Alcantara visors
Lower center console painted in Minerva Blue
Radio surround (horseshoe), ignition surround painted in Minerva Blue
Motorsport brake ducts & front lip spoiler
V1 hardwired w/connection at passenger side visor area
Clear bra installed on 1/2 hood, front bumper, 4 fender arches, rocker panels, both mirrors.
Carbon fiber front strut brace
CD storage/console delete
There may be some other small stuff, but that's all I can think of right now.

No dents or door dings. Exterior is in excellent condition with the exception of a couple of minor scratches that have been touched up, and a couple of rock chips that penetrated the clear bra. Front lip spoiler is gouged up from driveways but will be replaced in the next couple of weeks.

Mechanically, running perfect needs nothing. Brake pads/rotors are at ~60%, MPSC are at ~75%. All maintenance up to date, have all records. No stories on this car. Maintenance while I owned the car was all performed at Carlsen Porsche and TC Design in Milpitas. CodeRed had most of work done by Lucent Motors while he owned it.

I've done two low-key track days in 2 1/2 years (none in the last two years) which may give you an idea of why it's for sale. CodeRed did track the car, but it was advertised on RL as having no off-track-excursions before I bought it...maybe some of the SoCal people can verify that he was a meticulous owner.

Please note that due to many joy-ride-seekers that I encountered when selling my 993S four years ago, I will not be giving out any test drives unless you & I have come to some sort of agreement on a sale dependent upon passing PPI, and the PPI has been completed. If you need to decide whether a GT3 in general is the right car for you, you need to get your test drive at a dealership somewhere, sorry.

Hopefully, this car will go so someone in the RL community who can appreciate its history, and put it to its intended use in the future.

Amen Dave!

Great car, I remember when it was for sale previously. Its a knock out.

Jake Ok

Do you have the original driver seat and can the roll bar be remove before sale?

Dave I

Yes, I do have the driver's seat, and can swap the seats and remove the rollbar if needed.

You have a real beauty there. I bet it looks sweet at night, especially in town with some street lighting.
Someone will get a nice car!

Very Very nice car. I wish I could but I can't. Good luck and hope it stays in the rennlist community.

That car is simply gorgeous!

You can always sell your white one?

Dave I

You need another gt3 so you can have matching sets...two 993's two gt3...I think the Minerva would look great next to the Riviera Blue car.

I hope this car stays local. The pics are stunning and I haven't seen it in the flesh yet.

Good luck with the sale, Dave.

Dave I

Thanks for all the kind words...I'm really not interested in going into the autotrader and cars.com or craigslist route...for now will keep it on RL and 6speed and hope it goes to a true enthusiast. Timing is not the greatest for selling anything right now, but that's the story of my life, lol.
