Default Possible 2 car trade for GT car??

Hello, I'm testing the waters for any possible interest in a 2 for 1 or 1 for 1 type trade. I'm thinking of getting back into a GT car. I will consider all types of GT3 or GT3RS, but prefer RS, with any colors or gearbox types. Full details, photos, records of my cars will be available to anyone looking to perhaps make a change. These are just simple cell phone photos but again this is just a feeler. Car one is a numbers matching 69E coupe in original Blood Orange. I just finished a full 4+ year restoration of the car. All the best was used, Glasurit 22 line, Autobahn redone sport seats, Gus Pfister MFI pump etc. etc. The car got amazing reviews at RennSport. Car two is a gen1 2011 Spyder in Arctic Silver with 6 speed and GT2 buckets. Both these cars are very desirable, highly collectible combo's and reside in Southern California, so local trades would be best. If you may be looking to make a change and have any interest, let me know....Thanks Steve

Is the green one in the first picture also an option?

No I'm afraid the green car is not currently for sale. It's a 70 E...

Beautiful pair. What are your thoughts on the Spyder? Lots of people giving up much more expensive and powerful P cars for 987 Spyders

Great question. I absolutely love love love this car. When I sold my GT3 to pursue an early car project, I wanted a special car that wouldn't break the bank. The 987 Spyder is perhaps the best Porsche I have ever driven. It is as engaging and special feeling as the GT3 was, but even more suitable for the street. I am hesitant to sell either of these cars, but the 987 Spyder would be missed greatly. If I had the funds for a serious collection, I would never be without one of these. If it had 400 hp it would be really impossible to beat, but it is incredibly quick and nimble already. Its ultimate success is amazing balance, driver feedback, and precise handling. It is no surprise that these cars are replacing much more expensive Porsches, why they are not $100K I'll never know. The fact that people pay 6 figures for a 993 C2S blows me away, this car will run circles around much more expensive Pcars.
