2004 550 SE No. 0227 is No More

This is my favorite Boxster..... and this one is gone at only 34,000 miles. I found that qualityporscheparts is parting it out then found the below photo on the net. What a loss. Hope the driver was alone and walked away.

A lot of cows gave their lives for that interior

I knew I felt a disturbance in the force...

this is really sad, I have the same model and it's weird seeing it destroyed.

OTOH, I could use some of those parts as backups

Looks like it was a lurid skid (front wheel rim peeled off) with a side impact into a pole base or bridge support, etc. My friend's 914 looked simliar after he slid it into a concrete bridge siding.

Hope everyone made it out ok.

Sweet shifter knob for someone. Dye it black.

Gauge cluster is S model in black face with chrome rings. & computer.

Several cool upgrades for an S. 987 air intake box and TB.

The shifter knob is listed for $200. You could get it for $150.

The cluster is listed for $400, you could get it for $300.

The SE tail pipe is listed for $100, you could get it for $75. It does have some scratches like most used ones do. Wasn't there a member here looking for one?

here is one already in black for anyone interested

The SE interiors make stock interiors look downright pedestrian. And my 97 has the full leather trim option.

Whatever somebody hit, that was a rude, fast, abrupt stop. I would not want to get twisted over the center console like that. Probably break a rib or two.

I know it s a long shot given this post is now 8 years old. Just curious if anyone knows the VIN on anniversary car 0227? I have a registry of 550 SEs and would like to add the VIN on this plate.
