Does it have the full D4 from Dundon or just the tune?...

Nvm looked through it... if you had the original parts it would be pretty easy to recoup $15k out of this on the D4. Although I warn anyone buying dundon 1.0 cats, I could never get them to pass in my other car so I would make them send you a OBDII output.

Without the ceramic disks its a wash imo with the Dundon.

I believe its the full - the previous owner was Will Heaton who runs his own motorsports here in the PNW

Regarding the outward dent, that is due to rivets that fell from the window seal, into the rear quarter panel when the car was repainted. If it’s pretty noticeable it’s likely already cracked the paint so you’ll be able to reduce the visibility of it by removing the rivets and doing PDR (paintless dent removal), but to fully correct you’ll need to repaint the panel.

I had this situation on a prior 997. I’ve borescoped the inner rear quarter if you’d like pics.

Oo - this is good to know! I've been trying to wrap my head as to how on earth this had happened to begin with.

How do you know this car has been repainted? I’m not a buyer on this car, just curious if you figured that out from the pics or if you know some history on it.

I think he’s saying those rivets don’t come loose otherwise. Have heard mixed accounts on that though. No first-hand knowledge.

This white/mint green .2 RS is now sold. Last advertised price was $285k. The gray/gold .2 RS on BaT is already up to $276k.

For the stereo you could replace it with PCCM+ and get a way better OEM unit than what originally came for the car. Alternatively if you wanted an original stereo I’m pretty sure you could source one used; I plan to swap mine for the PCCM+ and I’m sure there are many who already have and have the old one laying around. Don’t let the stereo keep you from getting a 997 GT3 if most your other wants are met!

I agree, I think i'm gonna get the car paint gauged tomorrow and move forward from there. I am concerned why the bumper was removed and the rivet creating the outward dent and if the car was repainted at one time.

Painting a quarter panel will not break loose rivets. If I recall correctly, it's happened when the rear quarter glass was replaced. Could have been broken glass or a faulty gasket, but replacing the glass lead to the rivets breaking loose.

I'm talking to the owner that won the Gooding and Company 2500 mile Grey Black RS. He said he had a change of heart and doesn't have what it takes to do the rebuild, he paid $268k and ready to negotiate. It's got 302 shrink wrapped parts/clips sitting in storage in Seattle, I have all the details and receipts ($60k in parts of which prob $25k recoverable, total build $109k)

3 New Sets of Track Wheels/Tires ($28k) + Original Set

Doors + hood are in bubble wrap

The only thing I haven't fount out is how the cage is attached if its welded or bolted, I would guess bolted given the amount of time Cantrell spent doing parts inventory, everything else is reversible and not complicated... just time consuming.

PM me if your interested and want a project... told him I wouldn't connect him to tire kickers, or non-members, as I've mentioned before the owner unfortunately passed away in Aug before he had a chance to use it.
