Vehicle Description
Chassis No. WP0CB29842U661330
Sold new by Stevens Creek Porche of Santa Clara, California on 19
November 2001, this Boxster S in optional Basalt Black Metallic was
selected with a Graphite Grey partial leather interior. As an "S"
model, the car was equipped with the more powerful 250 horsepower
3.2-liter flat six mated to a six-speed manual transmission, larger
17-inch alloy wheels, and cross drilled front brake rotors with
four piston calipers. The car was additionally equipped with color
crest center caps, heated front seats, sports package, and a
Graphite Grey power folding convertible soft top. The clean CARFAX
Vehicle History Report shows that it remained with the original
owner through January 2004, when it was sold with just over 13,000
miles, and remained with a series of California based Porsche
enthusiasts until it was purchased by the current owner and
automotive YouTuber Sam Fane from Seen Through Glass in August 2024
for an epic, well-chronicled cross-country drive.
Fane picked up his Boxster S in New York City, embarking on a
once-in-a-lifetime drive across the United States, timed to arrive
in Monterey, California, for Pebble Beach Car Week. Sam wasn't
driving alone, as he holds an audience of over 600,000 subscribers
that were invited along for the ride. With a fresh service, a
replaced IMS bearing, a rear main seal, and complete detail, the
car made stops in Chicago, Denver, Moab, and Joshua Tree National
Park before reaching Los Angeles. From Southern California, it was
up to Monterey for car week. With only minor issues needing to be
addressed in Denver, Colorado, the car proved to be a faithful and
fun companion, covering 5,000 thousand miles across the
country.
With just under 51,000 miles, at cataloging, this Boxster S remains
a well-presenting example that has proven itself in its
cross-country adventure. Now the opportunity presents itself to
continue with the spirit of adventure like Fane, with endless road
trip opportunities to share on YouTube from behind the wheel of
this compelling Porsche.
