Seller’s description
2003 Porsche 911 (996), 3.6L with Porsche Stability Management. Basically a C4S powertrain — same engine — minus the wide body and AWD. Honest project car.
HISTORY: Single-owner from new (a doctor). After he passed, I bought it from his son. Came to me near 300k miles, ran strong through 2 years as my daily. City move let maintenance pile up; parked since. Garaged its whole life.
UPGRADES: Feal coilovers (CA-made), genuine Porsche touchscreen head unit with Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, full aluminum shifter with Function First internals.
KNOWN ISSUES: Needs a new cat — throws a Bank 2 code; every sensor already replaced, so it’s the cat. Air/oil separator hose is loose; pins broke off from heat cycles, causing an oil leak (drips while parked). New AOS included, though the original looks fine — just the hose.
Otherwise solid: no rust, clean frame, great interior and paint. Strong foundation for a track build. Call or text with questions
