This 2004 Porsche Carrera GT was built on September 23rd, 2004 in Porsches Leipzig factory. Painted in the stunning Porsches iconic GT Silver Metallic, specd with options included air conditioning, Porsche Online Pro CD Radio, and other items. As a U.S.-spec Carrera GT, it was originally delivered to the sunny state of Hawaii. The Carrera GT saw a low-milage lifestyle during the past two decades. Acquired by a collector in 2016 as a part of his larger collection, the car remained in his ownership until being acquired by the latest owner in 2021. The most recent owner, known in the automotive circles as being fanatical about maintenance, decided to bring his Carrera GT in for a major service. What started as a major service in March of 2023 turned into an exacting and thorough dive through of the entire vehicle, including the replacement of the ceramic-composite clutch assembly, rear main seal, camshafts, and more. Anything and everything that needed attention was addressed, spanning 7 months in the quest for best for his Carrera GT. In addition to the usual major service items, including oil changes, belts, spark plugs, thermostat, battery replacement, the deeper dive into the Carrera GT ensured that everything was 100% to spec. Having such access to replace many of these components only comes from when the chassis is split in two, and the owner took advantage to replace all that needed replacing. The ceramic composite clutch assembly, which requires separating the carbon fiber chassis in two and is incredibly time and skill intensive, was replaced. The engine and gearbox were removed for a valve train adjustment, which at the time upgraded Repasi camshafts were installed, set to time, and adjusted to specification. Camshaft controller hardware and upgraded DLC-coated intake camshaft locking discs were also installed. The crankshaft seal and the rear main seal were replaced. New ignition coils were installed, the brake system fluid flushed, and had new Michelin tires installed. Upon completion of this extremely detailed service In October of 2023, the Carrera GT now had a mechanical investment made to it to the tune of $105,001.82. During his major service visit, Porsche had issued a voluntary recall in April of 2023 on Carrera GTs to address the possibility that some of the suspension components could wear prematurely. During this time parts were unavailable during the major service, which led to the Carrera GT to return to be serviced in February of 2025. During this time, both front and rear trailing arms were replaced with new, upgraded factory Porsche components. Not to waste time while in for service, the owner decided to have a minor service for the Carrera GT to be performed, which included an oil and filter change, engine air filters, 4-wheel brake fluid flush, cabin air filter, and replacement of both drive belts. A complete inspection was also performed, where additional maintenance on the starter was performed. This mechanical investment, spanning 3 months and completing in February of 2025, was $10,028.69 with 4,398 miles on the odometer. Upon arriving at Canepa, it was hard to imagine a better-prepared Porsche Carrera GT.
