This 2005 Porsche 997 Carrera Cabriolet is finished in Arctic Silver Metallic over a Sea Blue leather interior. It features a 6-speed manual transmission paired with a 3.6-liter flat-six engine, the Bi-Xenon Headlamp Package, the Sport Chrono Package Plus, the Bose High-End Sound Package, and the Power Seat Package. Upgraded with TechArt wheels and a Fabspeed exhaust, this Carrera Cabriolet is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Connecticut showing approximately 42k miles on the odometer.
Finished in Arctic Silver Metallic with a Metropol Blue power-operated convertible top, this 997 features the optional Bi-Xenon Headlamp Package. Modifications include an aftermarket front valance, aftermarket side skirts, a TechArt rear spoiler, and TechArt wheels. Minor imperfections are noted, including blemishes on the hood, front bumper, and near the rear model designation, as well as minor wear on the soft top. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The cabin features Sea Blue standard leather upholstery. Optional equipment includes heated front seats, a three-spoke Sport steering wheel, the Power Seat Package, the Bose High-End Sound Package, Navigation for PCM, and the Sport Chrono Package Plus which adds a stopwatch dial atop the dashboard.
This first-generation 997 Carrera is powered by a naturally aspirated 3.6-liter flat-six engine paired with a desirable 6-speed manual gearbox. Rated at 325 HP and 273 lb.-ft of torque, it delivers power to the rear wheels, achieving 0-60 MPH in approximately 5 seconds. A Pedal Commander electronic throttle controller and a Fabspeed exhaust system have been installed, and the seller notes that the brake rotors and pads have been replaced in preparation for the sale.
This sale will include a clean title and the owner’s manuals.
The seller would like you to know: “Thank you for visiting our auction! This Porsche 911 is in wonderful cosmetic condition and has a nice blend of Porsche original quality and tasteful cosmetic and audible additions. We just gave the car a new set of rotors and brake pads all around so it is ready for your enjoyment.”

@mcoals Thank you for visiting our auction and your questions! According the the sticker on the driver door (which I will send to PCar Market to post), it was manufactured 20 years ago this month, March 2005. There is also no PPF on the hood.
Same question as mcoals.
@BlackHorseGarageCT can you confirm the manufacturing date? My understanding is after May 2005 they went to the dual row bearing which is less of a potential issue. Also assume no PPF on hood? Nice presentation. Thank you!

My friend and I looked at this car today on behalf of a friend. The photos in the auction are an excellent representation of this car. The interior is very nice, and the car is as described. The fabspeed exhaust is very spicy and matches the car very well.
In a room with lots of high value exotics, this car did not look out of place.
@MikeinNY sure no problem. Just call us when you get there. You can go in from the brewery side and just have them reach the people in Black Horse
@BlackHorseGarageCT I’m heading over that way now. ETA around 1:30 PM. Hope that’s OK.
@BlackHorseGarageCT I can be there at 1:30 PM. Or anytime after that.
@MikeinNY Yes, of course. Please let me know what time you can come in today.
Is it possible to see this car in person today?

@sag2 Thank you for checking out our auction on this 997! To our knowledge, the clutch has never been replaced. The previous owner, who had the car for 6 years, did not need to replace it or replace the IMS bearing. The IMS bearing was monitored by the previous owner and his mechanic and no signs of the failure of the bearing were shown. This was told to us by the previous owner.
Has the clutch ever been replaced and has the IMS bearing been addressed?
