Default History on this 2007 997 GT3? Anyone?

Anyone know the history on this 2007 997 GT3 at Milpas Motors in Santa Barbara CA? Looks like a track car which is fine by me as long as the DME report is good and no accidents. Looking for a track car and project.

VIN# WP0AC29977S792638

Well I saw this car popping up probably 3 weeks to a month ago but never inquire about it. Apparently it hasn't sold yet. That tells the story there. Mileage might be a mix of highway and track. Get a ppi done.
If your project is a dedicated track car I would make sure the required upgrades are done on this one (coolant pipes, lsd , lwfw etc...) which will save you some $$. GL

I was also curious about the details of this car.

Runner - if you can't share it here, can you also PM me.

Much appreciated!

My PM wasn't related to this car, but details of another car similar to look into.

FWIW - Anytime OEM parts are replaced with aftermarket such as the back wing - red flags go up for me.

rear wing looks like the .1 RS wing. may not be such a red flag, but would want to verify.

Not a 997.1RS wing. Looks like an aftermarket 996.2RS replica wing and deck combo.

997 has a curved strut that connects the deck lid to the wing and 996 has a straight strut. The 997 has a soft "curved" winglet edges and the 996 has more hard angle edges.

Haven't seen the car in person but there are many original parts that are missing. Stereo , wing, suspension, etc.
