Default Check out this 4.0 estimated to sell for $700k.

The upcoming Amelia auctions get some outstanding cars.

Is that Seinfeld's old car, the one that was at the 70th Anniversary auction in ATL? If so, I saw this thing in person, and it is stunning.

No he already bought his car back sometime last year at Amelia. And I think his actually has some miles.

Poor car. Over spec’d and under driven. The worst kind of 4.0

Funny, I had the EXACT same reaction when I read the description. I thought: who writes a description for a 700k car and doesn’t know what “triple black” actually means. Then I went one step further and thought: the 997 4.0 interior is dark grey.......so, it might not even be double black . I stopped myself because I assumed I’d be the only OCD fool to notice and be bothered about it. Glad I have company

well... to be fair i've heard coupes called triple black/white/whatever. Car, interior, wheels... like a dope-man special triple white 911 slant nose 80s turbo...white interior, white exterior, white wheels, and a mirror CXX option on the dash for your blow.
