Too bad the front fenders are not unpainted as well and not just the hood. Not sure there will be any 'Seinfeld' premium on this car. Will post about that in our upcoming auction preview.

All 4.0's have a carbon hood. most are painted carbon which is lighter than the clear finish that Jerry's ex car has.

All this talk about a celebrity premium and not one Jon Voight joke. You disappoint me Rennlist.

Nice car. Well, at least, I like most of the choices
Isn't the gearbox lever inspired by the 997 Sport-Classic?

That's right: Art, the importer/exporter/architect.

$510k plus fees. No real celebrity premium. Jerry Seinfeld is not Steve McQueen.

IMO the car showed just okay in person. Black, no stripe, with leather and no paint on hood. Plus it had some miles relative to the pristine examples.

Very cool, but not as special as some of the PTS cars.

It's easy for me to comment after the fact, but given the choice I think a stock 4.0 is far prettier, more distinctive and will have wider appeal over time.
