You won't find a car in this condition cosmetically, mechanically or aesthetically anywhere in the country.
Reason to sell:
I Bought this car to modify it to Renntech specs (engine & manual transmission) but have since lost interest and I think I want to buy something different now
I also recently bought a 997 TT and could use some extra space too.
Will update with more pictures tomorrow
Price pretty much firm at $17,500 ($18,500 with stock parts




Reluctant sale for sure




We are all very particular about our cars and I am no different.
This is a serious car for someone who's serious about buying a an all original car of this vintage
I will wait few more days before moving & storing it in the basement garage to see if any prospective buyer wants any specific shot of the undercarriage
