We are pleased to present this 2007 Porsche 997 Carrera 4S Coupe finished in Cobalt Blue Metallic over a Cocoa Special Leather interior. A lifelong California car, this 6-speed Carrera 4S was sold new from Sonnen Porsche of San Rafael at an original sticker price over $107k. The car is said to have been formerly owned by Mickey Hart, a drummer from the rock band Grateful Dead. Options include heated Adaptive Sport Seats, the Parking Assist System, Bose High-End Sound Package, exclusive instrument dials in Speed Yellow, a rear center console in leather, and 19” Carrera Sport wheels. Serviced by the original selling Porsche dealership for nearly its entire life, this Carrera 4S shows approximately 57k miles on the odometer and is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Florida.
This 997 comes finished in Cobalt Blue Metallic with red-painted brake calipers and shares its wide fenders with the 911 Turbo. The rear model designation has been removed and this example features an optional rear window wiper as well as exclusive 19” Carrera Sport wheels. CARFAX shows moderate damage to the right-rear end in 2016 and the seller reports the right rear quarter panel to have been refinished as a result. A small nick is noted on the passenger-side rear bumper as well as some scratches on the center front bumper, detailed images are provided in the gallery. The factory-optioned wheels come fitted with colored Porsche crest center caps and a set of Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires dated from 2019.
The Cocoa Special Leather is accented by aluminum-look trim, an Alcantara headliner, exclusive instrument dials in Speed Yellow, and carbon fiber door sills with model insignias. Other options include heated Adaptive Sport Seats, a footrest in aluminum, a thicker steering wheel in leather, a rear center console in leather, the Bose High-End Sound Package, and Parking Assist System. An upgraded Kenwood touchscreen head unit has been installed and some signs of wear are depicted throughout the cabin including creasing on the driver seat bolster.
This 4S is equipped with a naturally aspirated 3.8L flat-six engine rated at 355 HP and 295 lb.-ft of torque. All four wheels are driven via 6-speed manual transmission while stopping power comes from fixed 4-piston brakes paired with ventilated and cross-drilled rotors front and rear. Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) is equipped as standard and the seller notes a modified exhaust has been installed. CARFAX shows routine maintenance to have been carried out by Sonnen Porsche from new up until 2017, with subsequent services by Porsche Marin and Pagnano’s Auto of Santa Rosa, California.
This sale will include a clean title. Sporting rare options and a striking color combination, this 6-speed Carrera 4S is ready to be driven and enjoyed by a new owner.

Can you add a Start video and a driving video. Love to hear the new exhaust
Would you happen to have a video walk around so we can hear the aftermarket exhaust?
@CorteoM I only have what is on the car fax and what we recently serviced oil change etc. Clutch is good driving wise catches perfectly no issues not sure if it is original
Is the clutch original? Do you have any detailed service records to show what specifically has been addressed?

@luis.seneriz please send me private message and I can explain the process
Bid in the amount of $27,997
Can I ask why $
The $399 fee. 2. I live in Houston any reason why I couldn’t drive the car back home around 1,000 miles. I would not mind going there my brother lives in Homosassa and just bought a 15 Gt3 with 5,000 miles so I also want to visit him and drive the car . Thanks
Bid in the amount of $27,000
@luis.seneriz good morning tires are 2019 replaced recently michelin Cup 2 and brakes have about 70 percent pad life and oil change we just performed.
Seller can you comment on the condition of the tires, brakes, and when was the last oil change done?? Thanks, love the blue .
Bid in the amount of $10,997
@PAEuros @N_Seitz22 if you look closely the vehicle does have cats and also vehicle does not have a tune
@N_Seitz22 the cats are there, see pic #66
Wow! What a gorgeous 'hippy' car! Love the backstory of Mickey Hart but the car alone is a stunner. Great color combo, lots and lots of options and a 6 speed?!?
I owned an '08 Cab S 6 and the torque and road feel are amazing. You truly cannot overestimate how satisfying it is driving a 997S.
@CWill9525 thanks! So the car has no cats either? I assume it’s tuned then?
@PAEuros @N_Seitz22 pictures are up of underside of vehicle
@CWill9525 Thank you, those are great! Last question, do you have any underside shots/engine/muffler?
@PAEuros @N_Seitz22 pictures are up
@CWill9525 pictures are up
@PAEuros @N_Seitz22 sure thing loading pictures now
Seller, could you post some close up pictures of the rear quarter panels? Specifically right in front of the rear wheels where there is generally paint protection film and a lot of road rash. Thanks.
Bid in the amount of $10,000
@CWill9525 sounds like it’s all legit. Just reminded me of that Seinfeld episode and a Lebaron :-D
@CWill9525 I sent you a private message.
@JewmanMG not a problem please let me know and I will send you location.
@Flyinace2000 his actual name is Micheal Hartman they call him Mickey Hart the life of car is california as well and last address which is where he currently lives as well. We would not say it was his car just to say it without having proof. This is a great car!
@CWill9525 I am local and would like to see the car in person.
@Flyinace2000 we purchased the vehicle from him and his name is on the title
More of a curiosity, how does one “prove” it was owned by a celebrity?
LOVE this color. (The exterior color) Thank God for different peoples tastes and desires in cars but that Cocoa is a bit much for me.
@PAEuros @N_Seitz22 no unfortunately stock exhaust is not with vehicle look like they just removed the muffler portion
@PAEuros @N_Seitz22 I have not done any services to this vehicle just what has been done on car fax recently
@PAEuros @N_Seitz22 as far as accident look like passenger rear quarter have been painted and also has a chip in rear bumper passenger side
Also, could I get more details about the aftermarket exhaust fitted? Is factory included?
Can you shed any more light on the right rear accident/damage? Also, what recent services were performed?
