For Sale: 2001 Porsche 911 in Morgantown, Pennsylvania

2001 Porsche Carrera Coupe

"The 911 is still an impressively flexible car with useful cargo room and legs long enough to turn any mundane trip into an F1 qualifying run. The updated engine nearly matches the charismatic burble of the old air cooled motors but has gobs more low end grunt and stronger high rpm power." Car and Driver, Oct. 2001

For consignment, a 2001 Porsche Carrera coupe showing 54,677 miles, but the true miles are unknown. The prancing horse on the Porsche badge is very similar to the Ferrari horse, as you may have noticed. For Porsche, it makes sense: it's actually integral to the coat of arms for the city of Stuttgart, Porsche's home.

Exterior
Arctic Silver Metallic covers this streamlined beauty that likely scored high in the wind tunnel. A smooth nose, flush headlights, and steeply sloped windshield sends air over the top and along the declining rear quarter, off to its atmospheric destiny! In profile, contoured rocker panels deal with any turbulence that finds its way to the flanks and smooth side panels and the gently curved shoulder line give the car width and character. The tail is unmistakably 911 with flush tail lights on the corners, an epic tucked wing, and dual tips below the symmetrical bumperettes. OEM wheels in a turbine design carry low profile ZR rated tires and you can check this one off your shopping list because they are fresh, with a date code of mid 2024. A spot of curb rash on one wheel is the only imperfection we perceive on the car.

Interior
There are sleek stylish door panels and there are handsome door panels, and we would categorize this car's panels as both. Solid black with silver accents, swooping components, and a small integrated storage bin. Tall backed, black leather bucket seats are in great condition and the rear 2+2 are tight but nicely padded, with the ability to fold down to provide more cargo room. It's Porsche ergonomics up front with a comfortable steering wheel that's just the right size, and it frames a contoured instrument cluster with overlapping dials with sharp, red needles. Hidden cupholders are in the center stack along with an AM/FM/CD unit, CD drawers, and a twin screen A/C panel. This leads to the artistically formed shifter in the center console in a flowing plastic base where the storage bin and switchgear area shows some patina and scratches. Black carpet lines the footwells and cargo area and is in nice shape as is the headliner that surrounds the sunroof.

Drivetrain
Now water cooled, the engine presents in nice, driver condition and it's a 3.4 liter DOHC flat six cylinder, fuel injected, and rated at a stout 296 horsepower. It's set into motion via a ZF 5-speed automatic transmission that has Tiptronic capability and keeps power in back with 3.44 gearing.

Undercarriage
Most of the action is out back as much of the bottom is covered with aerodynamic belly pans. The underside is also of driver quality with indications this car has been driven and loved! The dual exhaust flows with header-like ease from the block, into the original mufflers, and out back via chrome tips. Power disc brakes are onboard all four wheels and suspension consists of independent coil spring front and back.

Drive-Ability
Balanced, fast, comfortable, and the sound of the engine behind you is an intoxicating one. The car has good power, handles fantastically, and stops on a dime. This is a Porsche, after all. The radio is inoperable so the only music you'll hear is the pleasing exhaust note for now. Meanwhile, all other functions on the car operate as they should and this star of Stuttgart is ready to take its place under the lights! While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.

There is no substitute, of course, and 996 models still rate as a performance bargain. But that won't last long as experts predict values will go up. This is a sleek, silver example with the option of shift free driving or thumb controlled Tiptronic, a clean interior, and brand new tires! If you're ready to obtain that coveted VIN to join the Porsche Club of America, this might be your E-ticket ride!
