This is a really special 911. It was a custom order car for the first year of 996 production in Arctic Silver, with the extremely rare and beautiful full leather Boxster Red interior. Everything in the car is factory leather wrapped.

The car is located in Vancouver, BC.
$22,600 USD.

It has all of the best options: Litronic headlights, trip computer, limited slip diff, traction control, sport suspension and GT3 buckets. In my opinion, this is one of the most unique and desirable 996.1s you can find.

It comes with a full binder of maintenance history, bill of sale and window sticker, and was imported from the US two years ago by the previous owner (a fellow PCAer and Rennlister). It has 58,979 miles on it at present, and a valid RIV sticker.

It has been tastefully updated with genuine OEM clear corner markers and tail lights, MY02 wheels and the GT3 leather buckets. See photos.

The LN Engineering IMS bearing upgrade was performed recently at Mantis in Oakville before I brought it with me to Vancouver. They also replaced the RMS and coolant tank, and tested the AOS (good).

There is absolutely no smoke at startup, or at any other time.

Here's a list of the most relevant options:
  • M030 Sport suspension (recently installed)
  • Limited Slip Diff
  • Traction Control
  • Full leather interior in Boxster Red
  • Litronic (Porsche HID) headlights
  • Trip computer
  • GT3 sport bucket seats with engraved Porsche crests
  • 18" 911 MY02 wheels
  • Aftermarket Pioneer bluetooth head unit (original Becker unit available)
  • Porsche Roof Transport system (negotiable)
Cosmetically, the car is near perfect, except for the wheels. They were repainted black, and the paint is starting to peel off, I suspect due to inadequate prep. I managed to curb both passenger side wheels a little, too, so one way or another, they will eventually need refinishing to bring them up to the level of the rest of the car.

I brought the car with me when I moved to Vancouver, but I'm again feeling the pull of a track car, so I think it's time for a change.

I've received a couple of PMs about re-importing the car to the US: it's quite straightforward, since this was originally a US car. It currently has the daytime running light modification that was required for Canadian use, but that's easily reversible if that isn't your style.

Something unexpected: another previous owner contacted me this morning via Rennlist, so it turns out that this has been a Rennlist-owned car for nearly 10 years!

Oh my...yeah, that screams classic Porsche alright. You should have asked for about $4k - $5k more. That's a lot of car for $22k. I'm sure you'll have no problem selling this beauty
