The Carrera GT is famous for a lot of things. It spent years as the apex of Porsche’s performance pantheon, and was the only road-going P-car to ever house a V10 engine. It made over 600 horsepower, took a mere three and a half seconds to reach 60 mph, and its roof came off to let in more of that gorgeous engine note.

Seinfeld bought , and put a mere 3,176 miles on it before selling the car in 2011. From there it moved off to the West Coast, spending its days in Washington before finally making its way down to San Diego for this sale.

But, as the original owner, at least he got to enjoy the car the way he prefers: Before it turned eighteen.
