From The Seller
“Hi all and thank you for checking out my 2005 911 Carrera Cabriolet. I bought this car late last year with the intention of enjoying it for a few months while doing some light mods and fixing up the interior. I love the car and have enjoyed creating what you see here, so I am excited to see it go to someone who will appreciate it equally and enjoy the heck out of it. Please feel free to ask me any questions.”
