There’s no question the Porsche 911 you see here ticks a lot of boxes. Of course, for many, it all starts with the Paint to Sample Maritime Blue paint – a 964 era Carrera Cup color that’s always a favorite and sure to grab attention. Another quality going for it is its early 997 status – meaning a relatively reliable and affordable era of Porsche new enough to be modern and old enough to be just right when it comes to size. Anyone searching to get into the 911 game on a relative budget is likely searching in the 997 space.

Beyond that, the original spec appears to be very choice. Paint to Sample, Sport Seats, Self-Dimming Mirrors, Heated Front Seats, PASM, TPMS, Delete Model Designation, Fire Extinguisher, Sport Chrono Package Plus, Bose High-End Sound Package, Headlight Cleaner Covers Exterior Color, Painted Model Designation Rear Lid, Black Mats Porsche Lettering, Bi-Xenon Headlamp Package and Instrument Dials in Carrara White certainly show whomever ordered it knew what they were doing.

And the specification doesn’t stop there. In the world of tuning and/or customization “OEM plus” describes modifications done with a heavy emphasis on factory parts bin parts and aesthetic changes that look as if they could have come from the factory. In that, this car has an impressive list that we’d argue is effectively a dream build with no expense spared.
