Launched in 2009, the updated 997.2 generation Porsche 911 GT3 featured an enlarged 3.8-liter Mezger flat-six engine and revised aerodynamic bodywork. One of only 654 U.S. market examples, this 2010 Porsche 997.2 GT3 is finished in Black with a Maritime Blue vinyl wrap. It showcases a Black full leather interior with optional deviated stitching, painted trim pieces, heated Adaptive Sport Seats, Guards Red seatbelts, Sport Chrono Package Plus, and Sound Package Plus. The car has also been modified with a Patrick Motorsports GT3 RS 4.0 lightweight flywheel and clutch kit, an iPE valved cat-back exhaust, and a Pioneer stereo with wireless Apple CarPlay. Purchased by the current owner in 2023, this rare 997.2 GT3 is now being offered for auction out of California with less than 50k miles showing on the odometer.
This 997.2 wears a Maritime Blue vinyl Inozetek wrap which covers the factory color of Black. The seller notes that the vehicles exterior was recently ceramic coated. The exterior features a GT3-specific fascia with an upper radiator vent, a front chin spoiler, a fixed body-colored rear wing, a vented GT3-specific rear bumper, LED taillights, dual center-mounted tailpipes, red brake calipers, and 19” GT3 center-lock wheels. New rear tires were recently installed, and the front tires were replaced less than a year ago, within the last 1k miles. The seller states a full glass-out repaint was performed in 2021 to address cosmetic wind damage, and the associated insurance claim resulted in the damage reported on CARFAX.
The cabin is appointed with Black leather and Alcantara upholstery accented by optional Guards Red deviated stitching, Guards Red seatbelts, and Black-panted trim throughout. Other accessories include heated Adaptive Sport Seats, a three-spoke Alcantara steering wheel, an Alcantara gear knob, GT3-branded door sills, a Sport Chrono dashboard stopwatch, automatic climate control, cruise control, a remote central locking system, an onboard computer, Sound Package Plus, and an aftermarket Pioneer head unit with wireless Apple CarPlay. The original Porsche Communication Management (PCM) head unit is included in the sale.
Rated at 435 HP and 317 lb-ft of torque, the naturally aspirated 3.8-liter Mezger flat-six engine features dry-sump lubrication, titanium connecting rods, VarioCam variable valve timing, and a two-stage resonance induction system. Power is routed to the rear wheels through a 6-speed manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential. The transmission has been upgraded with a Patrick Motorsports GT3 RS 4.0 lightweight flywheel and clutch kit, and the engine features an iPE valved cat-back exhaust system. The seller notes that there was also a transmission fluid change at this time. The seller adds that the car underwent a 60k-mile service, including new spark plugs, coil packs, a coolant expansion tank, a new drive belt, an oil change, new wipers, and cabin & engine air filters.
This sale will include owner’s manuals, a toolkit, a tire inflator, the original stereo, the original dual-mass flywheel, red wheel center locks, and a clean title. The dash cam is not included in the sale.
The seller would like you to know: “Owning a GT3 has always been my dream since I saw it on Motorweek back in the year 2001. The 997.2 with a 3.8 Mezger paired with a 6-speed manual has been the ultimate car to own! You could daily drive it if you wanted to, and I did sporadically! It has been an absolute pleasure owning this head-turning machine. I've never received so many thumbs up in my life haha. Time to move her onto the next caretaker, Cheers!”

@Blubusdrvr Yes! I got lucky on a 2010 GT3 w PCCBs which I’ve kept. A friend told me never to sell it. Know I understand, other than it’s fun to drive
@Montegue I like the way you put that! I drove her to the office today and really enjoyed the sound of that exhaust note…Let me tell you…hahah
That bid is awfully close to the asking price, but I can respect that a limit is a limit, especially if you’re still happy with the car.
133k for a repainted 50k mile ride was very fair IMO
Good Luck with sale
Nice GT3. The market isn't like it was post Covid. It's going to get softer.
Watching AlexFT steal my dream
From in front of me… literally in the front seat of the car I’m in… but it is crazy that 15 years later, 50k miles, a colorful carfax these cars will still bring this much
I wish someone had told me in 2001, 2010, etc that if I bought a GT car I could drive it for 20 years and sell it for more than I bought it for.
I’m rooting for AlexFT!

@gpmotors No, there’s ceramic coating on the black. The entire car was repainted as outlined in the auction. Again, I encouraged everyone to read the description and go through all of the pictures. Thank you.
Was there PPF on the paint when you paint metered it and it was just black? The readings seem high
Another thing I really like about the .2 over the .1 is No Sunroof!

Looks like a great drivers car to me. New owner maybe do the coolant lines or not, and enjoy.
Beautiful GT3 , the 997 is the last of a breed!
Ps: I’ve bought a car from this seller before , very transparent guy, and car was just as described no surprises.
As we approach the final hours I’m regretting my decision to sell haha. This is the last of the true analog feel Porsche 911 with that amazing 3.8 Mezger and 6 speed manual. The 991 and 992 GT3 are just different. Anyhow quick reminder to bidders to read through the description, comments, go through pictures, and watch the videos in HD (change your settings). Please check with your wives, girlfriends, goomahs, and moms before bidding and please have finances ready. I don’t anticipate any issues with this car because of the type of buyers but always like to make my final closing comment lol. Lastly no use in waiting until the last seconds to bid as the clock resets to 2 minutes, refresh your browsers and don’t miss out on this rare one of a kind beast! Good luck Bidders!
@jaynar.. Thank you
@mxtr55 Only original parts I have and coming with the car are the original dual mass flywheel/ring gear, red center locks, and stereo. Thanks.
@Phillipberk You should be able to spot them in the undercarriage shots. The coil over suspension is original. Don’t have the original parts in that department.
A cold start video has been added to the listing page.
I wonder the cost to strip the PPF and take it back to original. @seller, do you have all of the original parts that were replaced with aftermarket?
Ya totally fair. Not stopping me haha. One of the service records mentions some aftermarket suspension components, are they present?
@Phillipberk Trust me I agree with you in the sense it’s better to have it done than not. But I was merely passing on an opinion of one mechanic. When I originally got the car I reached out to Sharkwerks and they had a 15 month back log. Now, apparently they aren’t even taking on smaller jobs such as this. Anyhow up to the next owner as to where they’d want to have work done on this GT! Cheers.

@jaynar that’s a pretty big over generalization. Cars that are purely street cars have had failures, and the risk of what could go wrong with a failure is pretty high compared the 5-6k to do an engine out and have it done. Not the end of the world but definitely something that needs to be accounted for as a maintenance item.
@Phillipberk No not done. I just took the car to Pacific Power Motorsports for undercarriage pics and the mechanic there said I don’t need to if I’m not tracking it.

Any record of coolant pipes being done on this car? At this mileage rate to not see them in the service history but an absolute immediate must if not done.

Is there an overrev report?
@nbk5tps I fly back to SJC tonight and won’t be in Danville until Midnight. Send me a private message.
I'm local and would love to see the car

Can’t believe time flew by and we’re on the last day of the auction. Bidders please see all of the photos and video and reach out with any questions. This GT has been an amazing car to own! The Patrick Motorsports Clutch Kit truly transformed the car. The Maritime Blue wrap is something else! From 10 feet away it looks like Paint to Sample haha. Nonetheless if the next owner wants to remove the wrap most shops can do it pretty easily. The Pioneer stereo has been great as well. Fun Fact, I did find out last night that the Red Centerlocks the car originally came with are rare? I opted for the Black ones from Suncoast which make the car complete in my opinion. It has been a fun last 2 years with the car. Here’s one last (uneventful) video I took on Thursday before leaving for the airport on my new Meta Glasses! Thank you all.

@rjsquire Thanks Rob! It was good to meet you and your son! Very memorable time having some beers and talking cars. Enjoy!

I won an auction a couple weeks ago and jaynar is a great seller. He was super patient with my newbie questions and I’m 100% certain that I was annoying! I’m on the opposite coast, and flew out to pick up the car. Jay was super accommodating and a really nice guy.
He sent me the title, bill of sale, and service records ahead of time and I was able to register the car and get the tags before flying out. As a first time auction buyer, I was pretty apprehensive about the process, and Jay made it very easy.
I would not hesitate to buy from Jay again.

@Puddinhead Blue is my favorite color so decided to try out a wrap instead of a permanent color change haha. The wrap comes off easily and original paint will be fine underneath as it was ceramic coated as well. Thank you and enjoy your GT!
@luis.seneriz Hi Luis, yes please see the entire set of pictures. Black is the original color. Blue is my favorite color so thought why not wrap it, it can easily be removed if not desired by the next owner. Thanks.
Curious why wrap an "excellent" original pcar ? Love the money spent to upgrade car. I have a similar Mezger 997.1 but 3.6 and it's paint has chicken scratches and some weather damage but not wrapped.
Bid in the amount of $25,911
@Jaynar. You mentioned below on the comment to KHJ, that the entire car was painted. So I just want to understand, after the scratches the car was painted black and then it was wrapped in the blue? Like your driving video and definitely love the car. I’m really interested in it. Thanks Luis in Texas.
Bid in the amount of $25,500
@KHJ Also the obvious… collisions usually involve body panels being replaced or repaired. In this case none of which were required. Thanks.
@KHJ The entire car was painted which includes painting the bumper. The plastic on the headlights got scratched too obviously so the insurance opted to replace them rather than refinish them. They do have PPF on them as well now. Again no collision.
Can you tell us a bit more about the repair work at Bugs? The descriptions read like there was a bit more damage than scratches from a flapping tarp… overhaul bumper assembly plus brand new headlight assembly? Was there also a collision?
Bid in the amount of $25,000
@bphillyer Thank you! I really wanted this GT to be my forever car and I know I will regret selling. I actually decided to sell off a few cars in my collection and invest elsewhere, travel more, wind down basically. Clutch start switch is something I never had an issue with that would be prior owners. Looks like it would have been a faulty switch replaced under warranty. Thank you.
Beautiful GT3!
The wrap color really works well, too.
Why are you selling? These 997.2 GT3’s are hard to find.
“Clutch start switch replaced” on 12/20/11
"Clutch start switch replaced” on 8/28/12
Can you help me understand why this was done, twice?
Nest Wishes,
GLWA!

@KHJ You can message me privately and see if we can make it happen but I take off tomorrow (Thursday) to Phoenix. Hit Contact Seller.
Is there any chance of seeing the car in person?
@MagrudersMotors The wind damage to the car occurred because the prior owner had it parked outside for a few days when getting some work done in the garage. The car was covered with a tarp (turned out to be a bad idea) Unfortunately, high winds caused the tarp to flap around causing scratches all over the car, and an insurance claim was made. Stockton is known for high winds, California does not get hail like other states, if it does it’s minor. Hail damage would be listed on Carfax if there ever is. You can also see the repair order from the body shop, no dents were needed to be removed because there weren’t any. As far as the front end damage on Carfax in 2018 was because the front lip tore off I was told. Again no accidents involving any other motor vehicles otherwise it would be specified as such on Carfax. Thank you.
What is the story with the "wind damage"? I assume it was from hail or some kind of inclement weather? And any detail on the minor front end damage in 2018? The wrap looks like it was very professionally installed, great choice in color. I'm sure you wanted to preserve that expensive paint job! The car looks fantastic.
Thanks
@Rusty.Friddell Hi please see pics 188-205 plus the 3rd Walk Around video that shows the excellent condition of the paint underneath the wrap also includes paint meter. Thank you.
Bid in the amount of $9,972
What’s the paint condition underneath the wrap?
FYI Last oil service was on June 30, 2024 at 48,689 Miles.

Hello Bidders! Welcome to the auction of my legendary 3.8L GT3! She's been an absolute blast to own. I will be traveling at the end of the week to Monday Night, but I will do my best to answer any questions. Good Luck to all!
