A 1996 Porsche 911 Carrera coupe finished in Grand Prix White over beige leather is being offered for sale by a dealer, with the odometer showing just 13,000 miles. The car is a 993-generation model equipped with a six-speed manual transaxle and the optional Motor Sound Package, and it comes with a window sticker, owner's manual, service records and a clean Carfax report.
The selling dealer acquired the car from its original owner earlier this year. The window sticker lists initial delivery to Harper's Porsche in Knoxville, Tennessee, along with factory equipment, colours and a total price of $68,854. The car is now offered with a Tennessee title.
Power comes from an air-cooled 3.6-litre M64 flat-six featuring a VarioRam intake system, factory rated at 282 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torque. The optional Motor Sound Package added a revised intake and mufflers. The oil was changed and the air filter replaced in preparation for the sale, while the gearbox fluid was replaced in August 2026.
The exterior is finished in Grand Prix White and includes headlight washers, fog lights, power-adjustable mirrors, a power-operated sunroof, a speed-activated rear spoiler and dual exhaust outlets. Silver-finished 17-inch Cup II wheels are mounted with Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 tyres fitted in August 2026. Braking is handled by Porsche-branded calipers over cross-drilled rotors at all four corners. The selling dealer says the power steering rack was rebuilt in September 2026.
Inside, the power-adjustable front seats are upholstered in beige leather, complemented by a colour-coordinated centre console, door panels and carpeting. Amenities include a Porsche CDR-210 stereo, cruise control, air conditioning and power windows. The driver's door-check strap was repaired in September 2026.
A leather-wrapped steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation including a central tachometer with a 6,800-rpm redline, an analog clock and gauges for oil pressure, oil temperature, oil level and fuel level. The 180-mph speedometer and six-digit odometer were repaired in June 2020.
The 993-generation 911 is widely regarded as the last of the air-cooled models, a status that has made well-preserved examples increasingly sought after by collectors. This car's low mileage, documented history and original specification are likely to appeal to buyers looking for a usable classic with modern-enough performance.
