Porsche 911 GT3 spotted in Reston, Virginia

Details on This Porsche 911 GT3:

  • Location
    Reston, Virginia
  • Description
    I Know this isnt a GT3. This is a Vintage 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder. I couldnt find a catagory for this car but wanted it to be on the front page. I did some research on it and one sold for 3.6 million http://jalopnik.com/5892124/1955-porsche-550-spyder-sells-for-record-3685-million/gallery/1 Amazing car! Could not believe we saw it just sitting there.

Technically the best category for it would be other vintage but it's okay.

No front pic...had cars in back of me and had to stop to at least get this. In this part of Northern Va where there is big $$$ I dont think somebody would drive a replica...but i am not an expert on this car.

I can't see anything to suggest it's a replica, but that said there are some pretty spot-on kits available. My suspicion when I see these (or Cobras or Ferrari Daytonas) is that they are replicas, simply because the real ones are so rare and so valuable.
That said, there are plenty of examples on this site of 7-figure cars being driven around so it not completely out of the question.

I will have to defer that to you guys...you are the pros on this website. I just take pics of nice cars when i see them. From what i could see it was real and it was in a very expensive area of northern va
