welcome and don’t worry, once you drive it, you will quickly forget any cosmetic flaws. These cars are epic. Not everyone needs a garage queen.

welcome to the madness jbrenber, sorry for my comments. I tend to call things exactly as I see them, sometimes not always correct, as my wife will surely testify.

I’ll address the good stuff first. You paid a very low price for the car and that’s a nice thing. Secondly, most of the stuff I commented on is body work and that’s easily corrected. As long as the motor and transmission is solid, you’ll have a blast fixing up the other stuff. For me, I get just as much pleasure working on the car as I do driving it.

Also most of the damage I see is on the lower portion of the car. Front bumper can be restored and you can get a new front spoiler. I think those screws were put in place to hold that spoiler in place.

Once again, never mean to offend and this community is crazy talented and can help you get that car in tip top condition.

Heck watching Wonderdan transform his car into what it is today is incredibly inspiring. Oh man I loved his black car though

Reach out once the car is in your possession.

Congrats and welcome!

Haha, No apologies needed at all! I truly meant that I appreciate the comments and insight. Unlike most of BaT comments, I don’t plan on spending hours behind a keyboard getting offended at some one calling out a scratched lug nut .


i 100% agree with your recommendations above about it being primarily body work which is very doable. I’m taking delivery next week so I’ll have a better idea then.

Thanks for all the kind welcomes everyone. Long time listener, first time caller here. Let the journey begin!

I see you're in San Diego. I'm shooting you a PM to help facilitate putting some miles on that thing.

Edit: You can't PM yet but shoot me an email. My username @ gmail

Guys, what’s the market for a clean 2011 gt3rs, grey, decals delete, ceramic brakes, front axle lift, ~5,600 miles, no overevs issues, etc? I’ve had it for a few years, don’t find that it fits the roads we have where I am and don’t drive it enough. Periodically when something else that seems like a better fit catches my eye I consider selling but otherwise have been happy to basically just look at it and drive other stuff. Well, something did catch my eye hence my appeal to your collective wisdom. Thanks!

Whatever it is just do not sell to a flipper/dealer. You have all the maintenance records? Leather or plastic dash? Extended leather? Deviated or standard stitching? Coolant lines pinned? Cam Actuator bolt fix? Resonance tube recall done? Rock chips or PPF?

Prob should post your vin or build sheet and a few pics.

$225-$300k? Others more in the know will chime in.

I’m a big advocate for gambling on BAT and then getting my hands dirty to justify it

Fortunately there have been quite a few grey’s moving around to give you an idea of price. It’s not really an ideal time imo but a graphics delete w/yellow pccb will pull a premium because it’s a great look.

$275k+ from recent BAT auctions. Should provide you with some comps.

My former competitor just became my best friend, haha. Thank you so much for sharing those links! That just made my day. I knew the car had track time but it was really cool to see all the documentation of his Euro delivery and also the explanation of the signatures. He originally named the car Marsha and if changing the name of a car is anything like changing the name of a boat… she will forever be Marsha, lol.

2007 GT3. Black. Aftermarket headunit. Aftermarket exhaust tips and side muffler delete (retaining center muffler). In pics 20, 21 and 22, does it look like there's some sort of deformation in the center of the lower part of the front bumper? Could just be the angle, but I see it in all of the pics. 13,825 miles. WP0AC29977S792932

https://www.pcarmarket.com/auction/2...he-911-gt3-13/

Previously went reserve not met on BAT for $78k in October 2019.

Hard to say but it does look that way. One thing for sure is that the front spoiler is not installed correctly.
