Default Goodbye to my 836 WHP 996 TT Based Racecar

After 6 years of development, I've decided to part ways with my crash damaged 2007 Cayman with 996 3.8L TT Mezger and 996 Cup front and rear suspension. It is repairable but I'm 71 and I just don't want to wait to see it done again. I'm selling it as is rather than parting it out in hopes that someone will repair it and reap the benefits of all of the foundational work we did.

I've seen worse but you never know. As long as the main cabin is structurally sound anything can be done. If it can't be saved, the engine / gearbox can be transplanted into another project car.

That gearbox is a thing of beauty - what wonderful machining!
