Default New to me 997.1

I just bought this 997. 1 unicorn with MSRP over $140K. In 2008 that would have gotten you a well optioned turbo, GT3 or almost a GT3 RS. Bay Area car with X51, PCCB, and a lot of exclusive adds.

This will be my DD and has already seen a rainy day on the coast.




X51- carbon intake

Planned short term projects:

- changing all fluids (30K service done but call me paranoid)
- stud conversion from lugnuts (safer with PCCB)
- carplay head unit so I can take calls for work
- new LWFW and clutch
- snow wheels and tires for skiing next winter

This is the options list for the car, I bought it for the unique add ons more than whether it was a 991, 997.2 or 997.1

I like cars that someone went crazy on with the options, more unique

I didn't pay anywhere near what it was listed at. Seems like they price it super high to create negotiation leverage

very nice, is that atlas? looks like you had an overfill of the oil with all that blowby on the intakes, i had the same happen once, doesn't take much, unless it is the AOS, beautiful combo and outfitting though......love the X51 with the headers that improve sound immensely in sport mode...and all that...
