Oh that was the other thing, Brad the rep I was working with said he would look into it but texted that he couldn't find one - so I left it at that. Which also reminds me to anyone who is interested in this vehicle the reps from Bentley of Seattle know nothing about this vehicle's history besides its prior owner and knew/ knows nothing about the modifications thats been done to this vehicle. If anyone in the forum is interested I can give them a more detailed low down and whats been done and a deeper prior history - I did about 8 hours of research on that vehicle and can trace its lineage to at least Mecum where I saw some gross (bunch of dirt and dust) interior photos...

totally missed the comments! Doug’s validation always gives peace of mind!

That's hilariously insane. MAYBE if it was all back to stock it would pull mid-high 3s.

425k? 425k?

Someone's trying to get rich. We all thought the hammer price at Gooding was optimistic given all the modifications.

By the way, Adam from Pcar left me a message earlier today...really hoping it's that the owner of this GT3 fell in love with my M Roadster on the site and wants to work out a trade.

Same car, same seller.

who in their right mind sticks a K&N air intake on a GT3? We used to put those on our Toyotas in high school.

I think most ppl don’t understand how dialed these cars are, if your not custom tuning you should prob stay stock on the CFM in or out imo, hope it mounted to stock holes. Since it’s an original owner car he prob did that in 2011 when it was cool and never changed it back

I see that the highly modified car started life as a Canadian example. Is there anything particularly difficult about importing a 997 gt3rs from Canada to the US? I get it may not be California registrable. But could it be a 49 state car without too much difficulty? There is a .1 I know of in Canada that I’d like, but have not considered it because I assumed I couldn’t bring it in before 25 yrs old…

Aviato

Don't quote me but I'm pretty sure the 25 year rule doesn't apply to N.America but anything outside of it. This was the general rule of thumb that was provided to me when trying to import cars from Europe by my broker, are you the 1 of 4 party's that is considering to purchase the 997.1 on Rennlist from Vancouver?

You should not have trouble importing another North American originated Porsche (whose VIN starts with WPOAB1 or WPOAB2) into the USA, will just need to pay the duties as it has never been titled with taxes paid in the USA. I'm not an importation expert myself, but someone who really is an import expert told me that when I gave him a bunch of hypotheticals a few months ago. They do funny things with DRLs in Canada, and the KPH speedo/odometer of course, but nothing serious that you cannot handle. The 25 year rule does apply to Porsches whose VINs start with WPOZZZ unless they are on the Show Or Display list. Best wishes my friend!

So much wrong information here.

North American cars are all the same, 25 year rule never applied. All you need it a letter of compliance that PCNA will gladly supply you.

You pay your import duty fee and state sales
tax and registration and that’s it. Cars go back and forth the boarder all the time. They are 50’state compliant and the speedo can be set with the digital part to read MPH, so no need to even have that modified.

You can buy new and used and it’s basically like buying from any other state.

oh and Carfax now works for USA and Canada showing on the same reports.

Steve Theodore

One note about CarFax that is worth pointing out in response to @cosmos is that formerly you wouldn't get quite as detailed of results of a Canadian car by using a US CarFax account. There is also a Canadian CarFax product that has more granular information about cars north of the border. What I'm not sure is whether or not that has changed recently, but US CarFax has 'worked' for quite some time on all North American cars, just won't give you the full details possible on those north of the border. I am a CarFax Advantage dealer for the record, meaning I have subscribed to CarFax for a number of years and do buy cars from Canada with some regularity. I have compared CarFax results with both the US and Canadian based products and they formerly did give you different levels of detail. I haven't tried in a few months, so don't know if anything has changed recently, to @cosmos possible point.
