New website IS coming, too, in a while. Sad that we've been too busy to make that a priority, but we've been too busy to make that a priority.
We have quite a bunch of additions ready to go up on the Wall of Shame as well. Maybe when I run out of subjects for the email blog (like next week) we'll add those up and send them out.

There is no cost or obligation to join the email list to get notified of new available cars. However, as some are finding out, that is often too late for some of the more desirable cars 
It is $1k retainer to be on our VIP list. It is and is isn't refundable, depending on the level we go to in our search for you and the amount of consulting engaged. Feel free to contact me directly to discuss in more detail.

Hilarious guesses, and brilliant ideas (some better than the actual answer) - but here it is.
Starting simple. We are not publishing our private database of Porsche GT cars, nor are we creating an auction site, because there are plenty of those already. We have no intention to do either one of those.
What we ARE doing is using our extensive database and knowledge gained over the years to share in the following format:
1) A daily email blog & IG post with commentary on an available Porsche GT car on the market, including identifying issues with the car based on our database, sharing incredible deals we find, and giving our opinion on buy vs run away from that particular car, and why.
2) Exclusive curated listings of fully vetted Porsche GT cars from our clients to our clients. No auction drama, no one-month wait time, no hassle, no tire-kickers, and the transactions fully secured by us including financing, trades, shipping, title transfer, etc.
All exclusive offerings will go FIRST to our clients who have given us a retainer to be on the VIP list. They will then go out to those who follow the GT vault blog/IG.
We'll add some features to this in the future, and we will still do customized consulting and searches for clients utilizing our database and client network, but this is an important first step in "packaging up" what we've created over the years into a unique offering for Porsche GT enthusiasts and owners. As always, we will be focusing almost exclusively on manual, Mezger-powered GT cars.
SO! Click the two links in our signature to follow the GTvault IG and sign up for the email blog. We have a pretty special car that will be sent out on the list tomorrow to kick things off. Thanks to the community here for all the support over the years, and I hope this is a benefit for everyone here.

This will give a fantastic, targeted outlet for sellers, so please reach out to me directly if you're looking to sell so that we can vet your car and offer it to our list.

Arctic Silver Metallic .1 RS with 7k miles. Has PCCB, leather, and deviated wheels+graphics. Seems like the original owner didn’t complete the build as he didn’t get the rear wing end plates and mirrors in the same deviated black as they are still in the standard orange. Very strange and probably unintentional color combo on this car. Says it was celebrity owned; I wonder who. The production numbers they state in the description are not accurate to my knowledge, “For 2008 Porsche produced just 803 examples of 911 GT3 RS, of which it is believed just over half were sent Stateside.” There were 1106 .1 RS’s produced altogether between 2007-2008 with 126 in 2008 being sent to North America. The production to my knowledge in 2008 was smaller than it was in 2007 so there’s no way 803/1106 were produced in 2008, but I could be wrong. They are asking $185k which seems high IMO.

Yea I talked to him... he's retired and this is one of many hes selling off. He thinks its a super rare spec, but I've seen plenty with red accents/stitching and belts. That being said his price is justified in his head because he had it bored over and exhaust put on and he wants $125+what he has into it. I don't see him moving on price much... it's one of those deals where he doesn't 'actually' want to sell.

That makes the car worth $20k less, not $20k more. Why would someone pull a motor on a 8k mile GT3 that's stored in a museum to have the displacement increased? Makes no sense unless this was a track car and the performance gain was actually needed. There's gotta be more to this story.

There is a lot of mention in the ad copy about the bore being increased from the 3.6 to the 3.8 motor so maybe he's just trying to describe that and not doing it very well.

You might want to clarify that with him. The ad reads like he has no clue about what he is selling, e.g. "This is the more desirable manual gearbox"....no kidding.

You're probably right. Or maybe he meant that he bored through the fenders in order to rivet on the Ferrari, I mean Porsche, shields.
