Sold ▸ Gooding Christie's

Estimate $2,000,000 - $2,500,000
Information
sold by Jerry Seinfeld through Gooding & Company in 2016 with an unusual factory-style specification and Carrera mechanical components. After the sale, legal disputes arose over whether there was sufficient historical documentation to confirm the car was originally delivered by Porsche in that exact GS/GT configuration.
The chassis number itself was confirmed to be consistent with known late-1958 Carrera Speedster production, and the car was long accepted within Porsche collecting circles as an authentic Carrera-based car. The controversy instead focused on provenance and originality — specifically whether the lightweight details, and accompanying history could be conclusively verified from new.
The lawsuits were ultimately settled without a definitive public ruling on the exact original factory identity of chassis 84908.
