This car just came up for sale from Wicked Motorsports. They claim that only the right rear quarter was replaced....which is not true.
It's fairly obvious from looking at the photos that the front alignment/track is WAY off, but below are photos of the car after the accident.
Additionally, my database shows that this car used to be green - it was the car for sale by Speed Gallery back in 2014. Link to thread: https://rennlist.com/forums/997-gt2-...iles-sold.html

Sorry for the confusion. It was not wrecked again. The original wreck was at the mileage shown (2236), before Speed Gallery purchased it and made it green. They sold it, and it looks like Wicked painted it back to the original white, completely redid the interior (as you can tell, non-factory stitching, standard seats instead of the original sport buckets), and put it up for sale again with a few more miles.

Ok, got it, well that was a full strip paint as the race car version that SG had was a full paint too... white - green - white
Guys, unless you are massive caveat emperor here and want to use this as a track bitch (and a cheap one), RUN. I saw the car and it's also had "other" issues with the engine. (may not be original, would need to check serials).
That said, SG was pretty open and transparent about some of the problems, and Dan is a damn fast driver, Wicked well.... leave that up to you guys to decide.
Saw that ad this morning and immediately spotted the front alignment issue. This confirms my suspicion that something was fishy about that car.
Great community here. Thanks for sharing.
