2009 GT-R "Gumball 3000"

2009 Nissan GT-R Description

This GT-R, car #67, was the first GT-R to run and finish the Gumball 3000. That event took place in May 2009 from L.A. to Miami.

Preserving that special part of the car’s history, this GT-R still retains the Gumball 3000 event decals and the custom electronics that were installed to avoid the “state revenue collectors” during the “rally.”

Only three teams received awards in 2009. This GT-R and the drivers, were awarded “Best Navigators.” A laser-engraved “Gumball 3000” Macbook 5,1 was presented to us at the award ceremony. The Gumball 3000 Macbook, along with some new, unworn Gumball 3000 apparel (T-shirts and baseball caps), is included in the purchase of this GT-R.

Here are what I'd consider to be the highlights of this car:

• One owner - 2009 Nissan GT-R Premium.
• Titanium over Black. Mint condition!
• Purchased new in September 2008. Never abused. Never “launched.”
• Always stored in climate controlled facility.
• Clear title. No accidents. No curb rash on the wheels. No repaints.
• Original window sticker in perfect condition, owner’s manual, warranty books and keys.
• Always serviced at the Nissan dealer by trained GT-R technicians. Have all service receipts.
• New Bridgestone run flat tires – with a couple hundred miles on them.
• Original brakes (and dealer says the car doesn’t need new ones yet - how's that for a pampered life?)
• 100% stock, unmodified drivetrain
• OEM JDM clear front-side marker lights – installed (original amber lights included)
• OEM JDM clear rear market lights – included (not installed – didn’t want to remove rear bumper)
• 17,552 miles on the odometer (3,500 of those miles were racked up during the May 2009 Gumball 3000 rally event).

The car’s custom electronics package (which helped to avoid even a single traffic citation - since new), was installed by the artisans at Technicar in West Palm Beach, and includes:

• Escort Passport 9500ci, surgically cut into rear-view mirror bezel and dash (see picture)
• Front and rear laser jammers
• Brake light flasher & disable switch
• GPS-computer inhibit switch (allows co-pilot to update NAV while car in motion)
• Remote CB radio with detachable antenna
• Uniden Police band scanner
• Upgraded iPod interface

This GT-R has been part of the Styles Collection from new and is currently on display at our automotive museum in South Florida.

We're die-hard collector of ‘67-‘73 American and 1990’s Japanese muscle and would entertain trades. Right now we are looking for a low-mileage, unmodified ‘93-‘98 MKIV Supra Turbo 6-speed and a ’97-’05 first-gen Acura NSX.

I reserve the right to end this auction early as this car is for sale/trade locally.

If you would like additional pictures or have any questions, please contact me through the auction.

On May-19-16 at 12:46:40 PDT, seller added the following information:

In response to quite a few questions received, I add the following:
Vehicle Date of Manufacture is 06/08 (added photo of label inside driver's door jamb).
Pre-delivery inspection checklist is dated 09/10/2008.
Drivetrain is completely original. Engine, transmission, etc. Never removed from car.
The tires were replaced on Jan-15, 2015 and a 4-wheel alignment was done. At the time the mileage was 16,015. Thus, 1,500 miles have been put on the tires in the last 15 months. The tires are Bridgestone Potenza ZRF20 (front: 285/40, rear: 285/30) Run-Flat. In the original listing, I incorrectly stated they had "only a few hundred miles on them."
There is absolutely zero curb rash on the wheels. Never happened. Never repaired.
A complete 3M clear bra and complete hood and truck wraps of 'simulated carbon fiber' were installed in early March 2009. The Gumball 3000 decals were added in May 2009 at the start of the event. All applied vinyl wraps and decals are removable.
There is a scuff to the front poly diffuser. If you don't replace it with a carbon fiber one, you'll want to repaint it someday to make the car perfect (at which point, you will no doubt scuff it a week later).
