BaT Auction: 1996 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Coupe 6-Speed

This 1996 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 coupe is finished in black over black leather and is powered by a 3.6-liter flat-six paired with a six-speed manual transaxle and all-wheel drive. Equipment includes 17″ wheels, a sunroof, air conditioning, cruise control, and a cassette stereo with a remote CD changer. The car was recently acquired by the seller, and subsequent service reportedly consisted of replacing the lower valve cover and timing chain housing gaskets, spark plugs, filters, drive belts, and fluids. Now showing 58k miles, this 993 Carrera 4 is offered with service records, owner’s manuals, a tool kit, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Michigan title in the seller’s name.

The car is finished in black and features headlight washers, a sunroof, rear fender guards, and a speed-activated rear spoiler. Two scratches are noted on the front bumper, and the seller states that touch-up paint is present near the left headlight.

17″ Cup-style wheels are fitted with Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport tires that show 2009 date codes. Braking is from silver Porsche-branded calipers and cross-drilled rotors all around.

The cabin features black supple leather seating surfaces with a matching dashboard, door panels, and carpets. Amenities include power height-adjustable front seats, air conditioning, cruise control, Porsche-script floor mats, and a cassette stereo with a six-disc CD changer. Cracks in the dashboard are depicted in the gallery below.

Instrumentation consists of a central tachometer with a 6,800-rpm redline, a 180-mph speedometer, and gauges for fuel level, oil level, oil temperature, and oil pressure. The six-digit odometer shows 58k miles.

The 3.6-liter flat-six produced 272 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque when new, which is sent to all four wheels through a six-speed manual transaxle. Service carried out in anticipation of the sale by Fred Lavery Porsche of Birmingham, Michigan reportedly included replacing the lower valve cover and timing chain housing gaskets, spark plugs, filters, drive belts, and fluids.

A tool kit, owner’s manuals, and service records are included in the sale.

The Carfax report lists no accidents or damage and shows history in Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan.
