Default What The .... ?!??

So I'm in the market for a 997.2 C2S Cab and came across this beauty on Autotrader at a dealer not far from me. I'm afraid there's just one small problem....

Looked like a smoking deal on the exact White car I was looking for last year.

And then there was this on CF:

Motor Vehicle Dept.
Northbrook, IL
Title #X1096695619 Title issued or updated
Registration issued or renewed
First owner reported
Loan or lien reported
Vehicle color noted as Black

Idiot at DMV reported the car as black instead of white back in 2011. If you look at the door jams, the original VIN stickers are there and not painted around. A simple 2 minute inspection or VIN check will tell you the car was born white.

Confirmed, DMV mess up. Here is the build sheet that says its Carrera white. Sorry for the 'print' pop up...just slide it out of the way.

Dysturbd? Do you know something Porsche isnt telling us? If so please share because the car was born Carrera White according to Porsche. Or am I missing something and focused on the Carfax paint snafu? Dead hooker in the frunk?

Is there a cash prize for right answer?
Exhaust pipes stick out farther than the trailer hitch on my truck.

Game over I remember this car (after looking at all pics) from one of the blogs. Some guy converted it to a McLaren P1 center drive configuration.
In hind sight it's over priced.
