I wouldn’t doubt that. I remember mooty saying misshift but could mistaken. I’ll see if I can search the car. I had some info on it years ago before I knew about the engine/tranny issue.
Either case, lovely car assuming everything was repaired. Although, it ain’t a 270k car. PTS or no PTS.
My car will be at Porshe North Houston next week (they're picking it up a bit early - I'm trying to time based on incoming vehicle). This year it has had all the service done including - pipes pinned (and replaced original pipes with new coolant pipes), full xpel, clutch, brake pads, brakes serviced (the car had steel rotors on it last year, PNH found and replaced them with PCCB). The steel rotors may still be at dealer if someone wants them with car. It needs nothing. PNH will have DME report, service records, photos, and whatever else. Contact gtito@porschenorthhouston.com. It shows like a 3k mile car (this is my second 997.2 RS and I have heart ache getting rid of it, but have to make room in garage for incoming).
Wow, that was quick, no? Gotta be around 6mos from when PNH picked that up from Huntingridge Motors (sp?)? It clearly turns heads because I had two different buddies and RL’ers separately ask me my opinion on whether they should buy it (first at Hunting ridge; second after PNH scooped it a few weeks later). I told buddy #1 he was RIGHT that it was a good car/value if PNH scooped it! PNH is the king of cool 997’s. I hope you have something equally as unique incoming. GLWS.

Very close. 9 months, which is a long time for me. I really had sworn to myself that I'd keep it after so much regret from getting rid of my last 997.2 RS. But, it's hard for me to settle down - I trade cars back and forth with PNH quite a bit.
Nothing as cool as this incoming to replace it with unfortunately. Something with a lot of leather, sharp depreciation curve, fancy stitching, and four seats.
Story goes it blew an engine/tranny on a mishift. Been sitting for sale for 2 some years now. Price was over 300k now down to 260. Sucks. Car was barely driven :/

Had heard about the engine fire, but I had no idea the car was still for sale by Isringhausen. That thing has been sitting for ages with them
Unfort the 997 GT3 registry is nla, but IIRC it is the only known oslo blue car. If you are in the camp that these will be collectible that will matter alot more than a (properly) repaired engine / replaced decklid.
Looked at the Oslo blue car last year when I bought mine. Love the color, but I wanted full leather dash/stitching, not plastic stripper dash. Personally, I think the car should start with a $1 in front of it. I'm not a guy that will pay big bucks for a paint color though.

I agree. It's a stunning car but for that price it simply has to have full leather and not a replacement motor. Nothing wrong with that but you just can't ask top of the market price for that. Even more amazing is how patient Isringhausen has been. I think they lowered it once but they sure don't mind sitting on it...
^^^additional problem is that during the time they’ve owned it, PTS premium has come WAAAYYYYY off in addition to 997 and overall car market coming off. But, 997 Pts had gotten really, really silly at its peak.
