I’m the fourth owner of this well-kept 944 Turbo. It’s completely stock with the exception of the stereo and wheels. The first two owners drove it sparingly, averaging around 4000-4500 miles/year. With about 84,000 miles on the clock, the third owner picked it up in 2005 and took it on a trip from CA to Vegas. A post-purchase inspection revealed a few leaks that had developed over the years and he started working on a plan to pull it apart and make it like new again. Fast forward to 2008 – the economy had crashed and he still hadn’t started on the reseal and rebuild as he wanted. He decided to finally tackle it and thought that taking the engine out, doing a complete restoration and reseal and getting the engine to showroom condition was the way to go. He was a huge Porsche enthusiast and had plenty of experience so the project was well within his capabilities. Unfortunately, didn’t get far before marital and financial trouble made him abandon the project. He didn’t give up completely until 2012 when he realized that he needed to pass it along to someone else. I’ve since taken my time getting the car back to its former glory. I’m happy with the results and now have a very nice leak-free 951 to pass on to a new owner.
Everything works on the car: AC blows cold (converted to R134), windows work, sunroof works, turbo boosts as it should, clutch is solid (replaced by a former owner), doors work, hood and hatch struts work, original paint is nearly perfect, runs great. The last owner had it as non-op and when I took it in for a smog test to get it registered again it failed for running rich. Passed easily the second time in. I have a stack of service records from the previous owners included along with the original owner’s manual, tool kit and spare tire. I was keeping track of what I put into it but stopped counting when parts got over $3K and the list got too long for me to remember (I know I’m over $5K but not sure where it stopped). I’m looking for someone who appreciates these cars and sees the value in a well-cared for 1986 944 Turbo. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask. Good luck and thanks for looking! |

Robb Report chooses Porsche 911 as its Car of the Year
Thu, 21 Feb 2013Robb Report has picked the seventh-generation Porsche 911 Carrera S as its 2013 Car of the Year, saying the two-door captivated its judges with "agility, driving dynamics and balance." The German coupe bested 12 others who were also in the running - the impressive list of nominees included the BMW M5, Audi S8, Ferrari FF, Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG and the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse.
Judging involved more than just throwing darts at pictures on the wall, as the publication enlisted a panel of automotive experts to test drive each vehicle for close evaluation. The panelists included 100 members of the Robb Report Club (comprised of top corporate executives and influential readers), Editor-in-Chief Brett Anderson and automotive consultant Robert Ross. Full results of the competition will be revealed in the luxury magazine's March issue, hitting newsstands in about a week. For more information, visit Robb Report online or check out the full press release from Porsche below.
Porsche 911 GT3 RS revealed in patent photos
Fri, 01 Aug 2014Porsche has been taking its time developing the most hardcore 911 models for the latest 991 chassis. While the GT3 has been on the market for a little while, it suffered from some teething issues. The 911 GT3 RS is certainly on the radar since being spotted testing, but it's always better to get a look at a new car without all of the camo to hide the coolest parts. Thankfully, Car in the UK has some patent photos of the RS ahead of its debut, and they show off one mean-looking 911.
The first thing that you notice about the RS is that Porsche clearly isn't afraid to rework the latest 911's shape for its track-focused version. Each piece is slightly resculpted to squeeze the most out of it. Up front, the air dam has the same shape to the earlier photos. They also both highlight the upcoming model's tiny air inlet at the tip of the hood, the massive intakes in the rear fenders and general design of the rear wing with a ducktail underneath. The bubbled roof is much clearer here, where it was disguised in spy shots. You can also spot the slashing fender gills behind the front wheels that are a completely new feature.
The GT3 RS is the ultimate naturally aspirated 911 for the street, but according to Car, Porsche aims to take that even farther with the latest model. If these are the looks, then it's working. Unfortunately, the new version's powerplant remains a mystery. Though, given all the changes to the bodywork, the engine is almost surely getting tweaked over the 475-horsepower GT3. The RS is rumored to hit the road and be screaming down the track in 2015.
Conquest and controversy conclude the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona [spoilers]
Sun, 26 Jan 2014If you don't wish to know who won the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, you should avert your eyes right now. We'll even give you a double-space to skedaddle...
For those of you still with us, the first race in the United SportsCar Championship (USCC) is done, but the discussions about it certainly won't end for a while. Daytona Prototypes claimed the first four overall places, the top spot taken by the No. 5 Action Express Coyote-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Joao Barbosa, Christian Fittipaldi, Sebastien Bourdain and Burt Friselle. The 16th and final caution of the race bunched the field up for an eight-minute sprint to the flag, so the first place getter finished just 1.4 seconds ahead of the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Dallara-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Max Angelelli. Third place went to Brian Friselle in the No. 9 Action Express Chevrolet Corvette DP, 20 seconds down. Chevrolet power hasn't taken the overall win since 2003, eleven years later it scores a one-two-three-four. The No. 6 Muscle Milk/Pickett Racing ORECA-Nissan 03 scored fifth place, the top LMP2 finisher.
The Prototype Challenge class win went to the No. 54 CORE Autosport team of Colin Braun, Jon Bennett, Mark Wilkins and James Gue.
