As most know the color is GT Silver Metallic exterior paint from the legendary Carrera GT. The package also included:
• Shot blasted polished 18-inch Carrera II Wheels
• 911 Turbo front bumper
• X51 package with 345HP flat-6 (25HP more than the base engine)
• M030 sport suspension height
• Mechanical Rear-Axle Differential Lock (LSD) I would never have a car without one… which is what attracted me to this model.
• Porsche Stability Management
• 40yr 911/Natural Grey Leather
• Heated seats
• Roof liner in Alcantara
• Polished tailpipes
• Side Rocker Panels extensions
• Full leather
• Aluminum look instrument rings
• Front and rear center console painted in GT Silver Metallic
• Special plaques on deck lid and dash (which shows the number in the series)
Options on this one include:
• Navigation
• Bose High End Sound Package
• Remote CD Changer (6 disc)
• Comfort Seats w/Power Package (heated)
Modifications on #651 include:
• Tinted windows
• Clear bra on nose
• iPod adapter in center storage w/possible blue tooth. There is a little mic located by the visor.
I have two main keys and the books, but no records or luggage.
The only imperfections are a small indent/ring in the clear bra itself and maybe 4 or 5 very hard to spot stone chips on the hood. Otherwise the car is outstanding! No paint work that I know of or that professionals have been able to see. Not a scratch on the wheels.
This car came up for sale at a dealer for a great price and I was thinking on buying a 911 at the time. I had just sold a race car and have been wanted to quit racing for a while, so this was a bit of a place holder so I would not buy another race car. Those of you afflicted with my disease will know what I am talking about. So the price was such that I knew I would not get hurt if I were to sell it. I had a PPI done and the only thing was the oil was slightly overfilled, which I had them correct. Shipped it up here to IL and put it in my heated warehouse where is sat until late March. I have only put about 600 miles on it now and I absolutely love it, but racing season started and there is no way I can sit out.
I just changed the oil again and cut the filter open (a little IMS paranoia) and it was perfectly clean. If I remember, I will get the oil off to Blackstone.
The car has had a pretty easy life before me. It has the original tires on the front (late 03 build date) and the rears are from 2006 and they both still have tread left! The brakes have good life in them as well.
I have done an autocross just last week and was hopeful that it would help with my desire to race, but it did not. A day to spend a total of less than 5 minutes of running does not cut it for me. I have also been giving it some good full throttle runs to clear it out a bit. Honestly have noticed that it runs smoother and stronger since I first started driving it. I always wait to the water temp is nice and warm. A habit I do on all my cars – just a habit from racing and turbo street cars I guess.
I have the title free and clear and the car has a clean car fax, which I can share with you.
At the risk of sounding cheezy - please check it out in person and please get a PPI. You will not believe how nice it is. Even if I was not going back to racing, I would sell it. It’s far too nice for me. If I had one, I would drive it year round, ice race, do track days. As it is, I keep putting this one back in the warehouse every time there is a threat of rain.
I have plenty of people who will vouch for me (some on here) but also in the Corvette, BMW, SCCA, NASA, Grand Am (racing not Pontiac) and other car communities.
I am sure I forgot a ton of things, but I needed to get this out there.
Trades? An MX5 cup car would be ideal, but any other NC MX5 (higher miles and ratty please) or a tow vehicle. 04 and up Expedition is what my target is, but not much newer than 07 unless is has crazy high mileage.
On to the pictures. I can get higher res shots of anything you want related to this car and even shoot a video if needed. I washed the car the night before I took the pictures, which is why there is rust on the rotors.
Thanks for looking!

Also have a set of Carrera II rims in silver (like the ones pictured but not polished) with brand new Bridgestone RE11's. I may put them on this weekend, just need to get some center caps for them.

Hi Taz, Thanks for the note of support. It’s not lost yet – I get more and more attached with every passing mile and I fear that I might regret letting it go. When I put it up here for sale, I planned on doing eBay, Autotrader and Craigslist as well, but have not been motivated to do so and right now have no immediate plans to do so. Honestly, I think more and more about selling my BMW, which I love to death and just keep this. We’ll see how it pans out. :-)

Will also include the newer tires on the factory polished rims. Bridgestone RE11's with under 200 miles on them now. Current mileage 25700. As you can see it spends far too much time in here.

Mixed emotions for sure. I'm sure that you have a good game plan in terms of your racing endeavors, so you'll have plenty of joy on the track, and the new owner of your old 40AE will have plenty of joy driving that wonderful machine. Best wishes.
PS - I'm going to send you a PM so check there

First post and the new caretaker of this vehicle.
clubracer6 answered inside of 12 hours when I found this 911 about 12 miles from my home.
It was stored/nurtured/loved 2 miles away.
We made a phone appointment, which led to an actual meet.
He took a hour out his very busy morning, and was very informative.
This is my first Porsche, and I think it's a winner, pretty much exactly what I wanted, maybe more.
No qualms about this vehicle whatsoever.
I will consider upgrades over the winter, but I have to dispense with a low mileage luxury vehicle.
3 vehicles will take you to the edge of depravity.
Looking forward to some meets and drives and meeting other Porsche owners, and btw I've been smiling all day.

Nr. 0651's new caretaker
Awesome! I'm so glad the car stayed in the Chicago area. Need more in the Midwest so that the guys in CA and TX don't have all the fun.
I'll update the registry to indicate your ownership. When time permits, even though we have several pics of your car from clubracer6's sale ad, post a few under your ownership. I'll post your good news on the 40AE Registry Facebook page, too, unless you beat me to it. Some of the folks on FB who don't frequent this board would like to know about her new owner. Congrats and enjoy that car. It'll be hard not to given the car's fantastic condition, low miles, and all the perks that the 40AE's offer. That smile you mentioned won't disappear any time soon.

Thank you for warm welcome TAZ, the implied 'buyback' clause was discussed and agreed.
I'll get pics up soon, inside a week. I'm a little jammed up over the weekend, a class tomorrow and
my daughter will demand a ride.
Definitely glad it a 40th, built 911's hundreds of times @ Porsche USA and I'm glad that the X51 engine/power kit is there. I'm interested in the actual number of cars built/ordered with this option over the years. The power/weight is fascinating.
I still have a 2000 Porsche book / brochure, outlining the development of the water cooled 911.
