Great Seller. I purchased his 997.1 and it's been an awesome car and delivered exactly the way it was represented.

Forgot to mention (now edited OP) the car also includes factory cup car cover (and bag) and the original bump shifter setup, should you need to run that. We're at an early enough stage in the rebuild that the car could have either the bump shifter or holinger paddles installed, but I would need to know before 4/8 (week from Friday).

A couple of folks have asked about converting to stock dampers for GTC5, we can get a set if that's what is desired.

PM me directly for details on various options as I am more than happy to help ensure the car is legal for whatever series you would like to run.

Clarification based on a couple more questions I've received:
1. $165K includes the spares package listed.
2. If you want the car in a GTC5 legal setup, which means removing the Holinger paddle system (back to stock bump shifter with PMNA blipper) and replacing the Penske dampers with stock dampers, the price would be $150K. That would not include the paddle system or penske dampers with the car.

The gearbox is just back from Bill Rader and will be installed this coming week.

You can also see the car photographed in the Porsche Sport 2015 factory yearbook:






Cheers,
Mark

I thought that was my car behind yours, but it's Zuieback's newer 991 Cup. I have his old 7.2.

Car is still available at this point. The rebuild is being completed this week at TRG. I'll likely be shaking it down at a private test day at Laguna on 5/5, unless someone steps up before then. A few pics from last week as the new Fuel Safe FIA cell was going in (have the new FIA number). This is literally about as close as you will get to a completely new 997.2 cup.

Having just seen it, it's seriously making me reconsider selling it, if I'm honest. At a certain point, I'd rather just keep it for seat time and wait for the 2017 991 Cup to come out.

Did an easy shakedown of the car at Laguna Seca last Thursday, 5/5 to break in the new engine, gearbox, axles, etc. Car ran perfectly.

Mark, call Cantrell, they are looking for some gen II cups.
If I weren't 4 deep into race cars I would buy this.

Yeah, I admit I'm very tempted to just keep the car...
