Vehicle Description
CPR Classic is truly excited to offer this 2004 Porsche 996 GT3, an
immaculate original example with a notable set of options from the
factory. Showing just over 10,000 original miles, this GT3 has
lived a pampered life with no stone left unturned in terms of
maintenance and preservation.
Delivered new to Porsche Exchange in Highland Park, Illinois, this
example remained in Illinois for most of its life. The first owner
kept the car until the end of 2008. The second and most long-term
owner acquired the car in 2008 and owned the car until October
2020. The most recent owner was a North Carolina-based collector
that added the vehicle to his stable, where it lived for the past
year.
The spec on this GT3 is incredible. The Speed Yellow exterior is
complimented nicely by the assortment of unique options fitted in
the interior. The seatbacks have been color-matched, and every
available carbon interior option was installed in the car to
include the center console, air vents, steering wheel, and several
other items. The entire options list is below.
The cosmetic condition of this early GT3 is second to none. It
retains all of its original paint and has never suffered from
damage. There is not a single rock chip on the entirety of the
exterior, as the car likely wore a clear bra that covered the
entire front end in the past. The front lower valance is unscuffed
and in perfect condition. The wheels are flawless, and wear
brand-new Michelin Pilot Sport N4 tires.
Powered by the renowned 3.6L Mezger based engine, this 996 GT3
makes 380hp with a maximum RPM of 8400. Torque peaks at 284lb-ft at
5,000 RPM. The normally aspirated Mezger based engines are widely
regarded as the most visceral and engaging engine application
Porsche has offered in a streetcar. The sound at high RPM's is
intoxicating and leaves the driver begging for more.

XKD- Carbon Side air vents
XKJ- Carbon defroster trim
XKP- Carbon speaker covers

With every iteration, the GT3 has gotten faster- but only one is
the original. This original is low-mileage, high-option, and so
nearly new that it might still have a ticket to Ocean's Twelve in
the glovebox. Give us a call and find out.
