Here’s a well maintained 2007 GT3 in beautiful Speed Yellow. This is a fantastic car if you’re looking for an awesome weekend / track day car. 53.5k miles and counting...

For more pictures see: https://photos.app.goo.gl/3XoFZxLyFd9k9Ggb2

Exterior: Paint is in very good condition but some areas are not original. There was a left front accident reported on CarFax in 2012 (and more than 10k miles ago). With the car on the lift I can see signs of repairs in the right rear section of the car as well but from what I can tell all the work was very nicely done using OEM parts. No signs noticeable from viewing or driving the car, it looks great and handles beautifully. Additionally, I had the rear bumper cover replaced and painted due to a cosmetic issue. At that time I also had the rear fenders and rockers painted due to rock chips. Front air intakes are protected by black radiator mesh.

Interior: The interior is very clean but the following items could be improved upon:
  • It has the usual worn AC panel and radio buttons.
  • A bit of bonding agent (glue) can be seen on the very bottom of the windshield (they must have messed up during the install).
  • Steering wheel alcantara is worn and could use a re-upholster (less than $500 cost).
It is equipped with a roll bar painted in the exterior color with a fire extinguisher mounted to it. Additionally is has the “cobra” style GT3 light-weight bucket seats wrapped in perlon fabric with Porsche crest. These seats are pretty rare and worth quite a bit. Very light and offers great support. They are also equipped with Schroth six-point harnesses (current). The pedals are covered by Rennline aluminum covers. Floor mats are custom black ones with yellow GT3 embroidery. Center console is painted in exterior color.

Engine: The engine is running great. It has been carefully maintained with the following done over the course of the last year:
  • Oil and filter change
  • Coolant lines pinned
  • Plastic coolant pipes replaced by Sharkwerks metal pipes.
  • Coolant fluid flushed
  • Water pump replaced
  • Starter replaced
  • Spark plugs replaced
  • Fuel filter replaced
  • Cabin filter replaced
  • Wiper blades replaced
  • Air filter cleaned
Engine is pretty much stock with the only modifications being:
  • K&N air filter element
  • Souls center bypass pipe
  • Muffler valves hard-wired to Sport mod
Runs and sounds great!

Transmission: Fluid recently replaced with Mobil DelVac and shifter cables adjusted. Clutch slave recently flushed. I have not had the transmission removed to inspect how much life is left on the clutch but it works fine. Previous owner claims it has the RS 4.0 LWFW but again, I have not inspected to confirm.

Suspension: OEM Shocks with some minor mods to suspension linkages:
  • RSS solid caster puck front lower arms.
  • Tarrett solid bushing front lower arm.
  • Champion rear adjustable toe links
Brakes / wheels: Almost new DeMan slotted front rotors. Rear rotors are OEM and showing some wear but still has plenty of life left. Pads are Pagid yellows with plenty of life left on them. Caliper bolts are replaced with Tarrett caliper studs and brake lines are stainless steel wrapped. Brake fluid (Motul 600) recently flushed. Wheels are OEM in like new condition with Pirelli Zero tires with very little wear. Mounted using wheel studs.

This is not only a great looking GT3 but it’s also very well maintained car equipped with a nice set up upgrades, especially if you intend to do some tracking. Needs nothing, ready to be enjoyed on or off the track!

I’ve tried to carefully describe the car but please feel free to ask questions. Happy to answer to my best ability and provide more pictures if desired.

AIM logger/camera and radar detector not included in sale.

Title is clean but does have a lien on it. Asking $82,000 which should make it the lowest priced GT3 on Rennlist!

minor paintwork (minor dings, bumps and benders) is a nothing burger if the correction has been done right

Just the accident reported in the CarFax report and the paintwork described in the "exterior" section. As it appears to be professionally repaired (and the car looks and drives great) it is not a big deal to me but I know a lot of people are very sensitive to these kind of things so I wanted to be very upfront about it.

I hope you're right, I like the idea of more people buying these cars to drive them like they were meant to be driven. A shame for such an entertaining car to rot away in a garage somewhere :-)

Beautiful car!

How long have you had this car? How many previous owners?
Do you have records from previous bodywork? Any idea what type of accident the car was in (road vs. race track)?

Thx! GLWS.

I've had it for about a year. From the CarFax it looks like 4 previous owners.

Unfortunately I don't have any info on the accident / repair other than what is in the CarFax report.

While I have second thoughts about selling this car each time I drive it there are some other projects I want to take on so here it is again.
