Noticed one in SF Bay Area CL: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/cto/1468666164.html

I have no affiliation with this seller, just ran across it on CL. He attached a pic of it in last week's posting..

there were not many cars built with out the sunroof on the early 996's, you'll see more 3.6's with out the sunroof then 3.4's.

Never "Raced"... creative wording and I suppose technically correct. I bet the 4:1 Ring and pinion and Guard LSD made for an entertaining car though.

Chads old White Aero '99 was posted here not long ago. Not sure if it's still on the market but it was a no-roof car. As it's already been stated, they're pretty rare.

The price of an "omit sunroof" was over $600

I searched long and hard to find mine, it had to be a White factory GT3 aero car, which made it even more difficult. Mine is an 03 MKII. Have been contemplating putting it on the market to get into a Gallardo.

Like Audion19s stated Chads was awsome and sold quickly, the only other one like his I ever came accross was a special edition Champion Motorsport 996 done in 1999, tere was a big write up on it in Excellence magazine.

Take your time to find the right car, the extra head room is nice.

Are you still looking? Just noticed a perfect 99 996 in the FS section, White, Aero, Sunroof delete and what looks to be a 9.9/10 condition wise.
