I’m surprised BaT would offer this one. Not able to be imported into the US unless federalized which the process a long and expensive.

This car does not qualify for show and display as this model was brought to the US. A 996 GT3 RS or 997 Sport Classic qualify as they weren’t sold here, but 997.1 GT3 RS was. Also they take rarity into account, but that doesn’t matter if the model was offered in the US.

I wonder if you could argue that the Club Sport version was never available in the US? Probably not worth the hassle though...

This is the same car @ HBI Auto I believe...Watch this guys videos on his headaches with this car. Originally bought with a 997.2 front bumper. He converted to back to a 997.1 bumper. In process of doing the conversion discovered it is using the front knuckle from a turbo instead of a GT3. Who else knows what else is going on...

sounded like this guy wanted to keep the car and nurse it back to health. I left a comment on the video asking for the VIN lol

wanted to introduce @Vbcarguy2 to the thread! Just joined and he’s the one who we saved from making a mistake! Let’s get him a solid GT3!

Also de-lipsticked mine. But i just had it vinyl wrapped gloss black. It isn't perfect due to the complexity of the space but gets the job done and is easily reversible.

Yeah it's almost certainly the car in question. He says in one of videos from a couple months ago that he worked out a deal for HBI to buy it back, now they're trying to pass it off to another unsuspecting buyer.... scummy.

Twin to mine as well. When I purchased, the decals had been deleted. I also then had the coolant lines pinned, the PCCBs replaced with steel rotors, and the 5 lug conversion done. A year of so later I had taller uprights and a larger rear wing installed. This are magnificent cars and I absolutely LOVE mine. Wishing you both great luck and much enjoyment with our triplets.
