We are pleased to present this 2007 Porsche 997.1 Turbo finished in Cobalt Blue Metallic over a Sand Beige Full Leather interior. The 997-generation 911 Turbo was equipped with the legendary 3.6L Mezger engine and was the first Porsche production vehicle to use Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG) turbochargers. This first model year example was delivered new to Momentum Porsche of Houston, Texas, before spending time in Washington and eventually Oregon. It was optioned at an original sticker price of over $128k, featuring adaptive sport seats, a thickened steering wheel, and the Sport Chrono Package Turbo, in addition to a 6-speed manual transmission and optional rear differential lock. It is said to have received a lifetime of dealership service, and is now being offered at auction with approximately 60,600 miles on the odometer by the seller based out of New York.
This Turbo was ordered in the rare shade of Cobalt Blue Metallic (37U) and features bi-xenon headlights, fog lights, a power sunroof, and a speed-activated rear wing. The seller reports the front bumper and nose have been refinished due to rock chips, and the rest of the exterior is said to remain in excellent condition. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with paint meter readings and a clean CARFAX report.
The interior is upholstered in Sand Beige Full Leather, that covers the seating surfaces in addition to the dashboard, door panels, and center console. Amenities include power-adjustable adaptive sport seats, automatic climate control, cruise control, an Alcantara headliner, Porsche-branded floor mats, a Porsche Communication Management infotainment system with navigation, a Bose surround-sound stereo system, a Sport Chrono dial mounted on top of the dash, and a thickened leather-wrapped steering wheel with a matching shift lever. The seller reports no sticky buttons, and reports two small nicks to the cupholder cover.
The twin-turbocharged 3.6L flat-six Mezger engine with VTG turbochargers produces up to 480 HP and 460 lb.-ft of torque, which drives all four wheels through a 6-speed manual transmission and an electronically controlled limited-slip differential. The optional Sport Chrono Package is equipped, which enables a temporary engine overboost setting for increased peak torque. Other performance features include Porsche Stability Management, Porsche Active Suspension Managment, and 6-piston front/4-piston rear brake calipers. Detailed invoices in the gallery show a consistent history of dealership maintenance from new, and the seller reports no outstanding issues at this time.
This sale will include 2 sets of keys, the original window sticker, owner’s books, and associated sales literature.

Hello All! Down to the last few minutes and wanted to say that it looks like this 997 will be finding a new home today.
Good luck. That is a super strong bid. The black one that was here in
Houston went for $101 but it had a ton of performance work on it. Glws
