Hey Fellas,

I picked this beauty up last night and couldn't be me more excited! 2007 with 45k miles. She's a little rough around the edges, but will make a great project.

Little about me: I've been at Eibach for years and sold a 997s to make the jump to a GT3. Also in the middle of an air cooled build for SEMA.

Ryan

Rough around the edges is what these cars should be.

Congrats

Congrats! Don't see too many GR .1s (or .2s for that matter). Best colour IMO. Enjoy her!

Agree! haha

I actually tried to look at this car late last year and couldn't reach the owner. I ended up in a 997s shortly after, which I loved. Then about 3 months ago I was driving down PCH and saw a 997 GT3. Later that night I tracked the owner down and found out the car was being stored about a mile from my house. I looked at it a couple times and decided it was what I really wanted. My 997s sold in a day and here I am!
