I wish the shop did a series on that restoration, I just don’t see how that car survived… “some accident damage to right rear” lol from the interior frame it looks coupled

997.2 from Brooklyn Auto Sales just posted - price and DME report looks good but clear mods just from the pictures (seats, exhaust, floors?, maybe nav)

vin# WP0AC2A96BS783370

This car looks pretty nice and good deal. I think this is Meteor....

I googled the vin but really couldn't find any previous history.

Are those seats the buckets or aftermarket? checking in with the braintrust here..... it doesn't look like the upholstery is good enough around the curve to be OEM...dunno...

I don’t think they are OEM buckets - pretty sure the 997 buckets look like this: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/po...-bucket-seats/

They look kinda like knock offs of the 996 bucket:
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/recaro-37/

note there’s no crest in the headrest either

wheels obviously not OEM either

btw it says in the ad “clean carfax” but doesn’t link to it

Looks like CGT seats but likely reps given the selling price. Hopefully someone here will go take a look.

look like genuine well used carerra GT buckets to me, I don’t see anything to indicate otherwise… prob Oz racing wheels

ive seen some crappy re-upholstering of those seats… must be a difficult task

I’m absolutely certain the CGT/Euro 997 GT3 seats in this car are replicas. The inserts on the backrest are wrong. I think the company that makes these replica seats is Maxspeed Motorsports.

OEM Seats


Maxspeed replicas

Wow your right the headrest on the replicas has a sharper geometry, tricky tricky

agreed.

I'm glad I asked. Its really not that big of a deal (as I'm looking for sofa's or one above) and knowing the pricing of these seats it would bring a greater premium to this car being that it is an .2 with a desirable color.

strange that nothing comes up on the vin when I googled it....

No big, my 7.2 s or pro-touring Camaro hasn't sold, no rush for me. Other things in life are kinda in way as well right now but its fun watching looking.

If anything I'm impressed someone paid to ship it that far, to a country where the car's steering wheel is on the wrong side for the roads. Lets hope Googling the VIN is something people in EU know to do as well.

i was tempted to post the Rennlist link on the Insta page of the UK seller but decided to stay out of it. Agreed! Hopefully someone willing to spend 100k on a car takes time to research it.
