I thought it was sold as the car was taken down from Autotrader. Car is still listed on their website and other places. Plus they have been uploading pictures recently. So IDK.

lol he bids on lots of black cars... in fact I’m counting on it haha

my wife still says I cant have two 997's if I buy another one to track because she hates the ride for touring, but she likes the R8 comfort. So I'm bidding on both... but that means the .2 will be up on BAT as soon as I find the right one.

I tried "stop thinking about the car as a car and think about it as an investment and I'll put it in the shop and we'll forget about it"... that didn't work.

No asking price listed yet. Has aftermarket upgraded rotors and a GMG roll bar with Schroth harnesses, and maybe still has EVOMS headers so I assume this car has been used as a track car in the past.

Current listing:

Car also has a roll bar with Schroth harnesses and it used to have a giant Audison audio system with a sub woofer in the back behind the seats.

I spoke with Jonathan at Merit yesterday. Both cars have been in their possession for the last ~6 weeks and have been going through rejuvenation. They want $245K for the White/Red and $225K for the White/Gold.

I inquired about the white/gold (WP0AC2A90AS783752) and he said they put the factory stereo back in, fixed up the front lip (assuming a respray since it's painted), replaced the door sills, reupholstered the steering wheel and a few other interior bits. No mention of brakes/tires being replaced but it did go through the standard fluids change as well. Said the car came from a "very large collector of rare low mileage porsches in the Lake Tahoe / NorCal area. He has three '73 RS's, a bunch of GT3's, a CGT, etc." Merit sold the car for that owner on consignment to someone in NC who had it for a couple years and only put a few thousand miles on...and subsequently sold it back to Merit who is now has it for sale. Just sharing some deets for anyone in case it's helpful!

Done and done. Sold to me Hoping PPI / DME pull tomorrow isn't a total disaster. Carfax shows as a 1-owner originally purchased in Katy, TX (where the car is now) and serviced there it's entire life. Sales guy I'm working with says the owner is a banker who used the car for the track and just traded it in for a 991.2 GT3. Are we sure this was a press car?

Congrats! But I am very certain this is a former press car if the VIN is indeed WP0AC2A99AS783460. The car has Press Finish on the build sheet which was only on the builds of the 4 PCNA press cars. There was a Meteor Grey press car, a Guards Red one, a Black one, and a Carrara White one which is VIN WP0AC2A99AS783460. The car at Jaguar West Houston has an identical build to the Carrara White GT3 press car shown in the videos below. Besides the press finish, there is only 1 car that has all these particular options and that is the Carrara White PCNA press car. But the car was almost certainly very well maintained when it was on the PCNA press fleet.

Nice! Lets go for a drive when you get it back to OC. If I didn't have one already, I would have bought this one.
Working for many big name manufacturers in the past - I can say mostly the cars are very well maintained early on in their life and inspected often.

The VIN actually tells you it's a press car... 741 Press Finish... but doesn't really matter imo with that many miles. Just normal fundamentals, clutch, oil leaks etc, LSD, suspension wear etc. I expect the DME to show lots of Range 4's, and with some luck no 5's. Those seats are a bit worn... but I'd grab a pair of buckets anyway if you plan to track... which with those Rotors and Wheels I hope you do

Did you get a chance to sit in it... might rev it a bit and see if anyone has done any work to the flywheel (you could post a vid here and we could tell you)... in which case they probably did the clutch?

Congrats!

PS. PM me if you decide you don't want it!

Congrats, I called this morning and the sales guy was apparently on another call and was supposed to call me back afterwards. I guess you were the other call.
