This is a 1987 Porsche 944 base coupe with an automatic transmission. I will attempt to describe everything as accurately as possible, but please, if you have any questions email me and I will get back to you as quickly as possible. First things first, I have only owned the car about 3 weeks, it was a bit of a "garage" find if you will. When I bought the vehicle it was not running, it would turn over but that was about it. I have gone through most everything on the engine cleaning and replacing parts as I have come across them. The following is what has been replaced, starter, distributor, plug wires, spark plugs, fuel pump, fuel filter, dme relay, vacumn hoses, speed and reference sensor, front sway bar bushings, and the AFM has been refurbished. The good news is that all those parts have gotten the car running and back on the road again, unfortunately there still seems to be a slight problem with the idle, occasionally the rpms will drop and the car will shut off. I have not had this happen while driving, only on initial start up before the car is warmed up, I have not had any issues once the car is warm. The only other issue mechanically that I am aware of is there seems to be a very slight leak somewhere in the power steering system, it has to sit for a few days to actually notice a wet spot on the ground but if you look under the car you can see some fluid on and around the pump. The car still drives and handles really well so it is probably just a seal somewhere or else it would not be working. All other flaws to the car are cosmetic, it does not have perfect paint or a perfectly straight body, while there is no rust or major damage to the vehicle it does have dings, scratches, and paint chips that could be expected of a 26 year old vehicle. I will try to get the best shots possible to show the areas I am talking about. Don't get me wrong, this is still a great looking car and I still get many looks and compliments driving around town. The interior is in pretty good shape with the exception of the drivers seat, the bottom of it will need to be replaced or reupholstered. The dash has the normal crack in it and the odometer has quit working which is pretty common in this model vehicle. The car does has an aftermarket head unit, power windows, power doorlocks, power sunroof, and power seat for the drivers side. The sunroof is missing the latches that secure it to the drive mechanism, these can be found online fairly cheaply. The tires on the car seem to be fairly new, they have lots of tread left on them.
Again, I think I have described the car to the best of my ability, I will let the pictures tell the rest of the story. The car has been a blast to drive for the short period of time that I have owned it, please email with any questions. I do have the title in hand and ready to go.
This car is a used car, so it is being sold as-is, with no warranty expressed or implied. Please understand that you are not buying a perfect car,, the price is reflective of that, it still needs some work to be perfect.
I will do my best to accommodate whatever shipping company the buyer chooses to use, I will not be responsible for shipping this vehicle, that is up to you.

Porsche ready to pick itself up after Le Mans failure
Mon, 23 Jun 2014It's safe to say that things for Porsche didn't go quite as well at Le Mans this year as it might have hoped. After a sixteen-year gap, the winningest manufacturer in endurance racing history returned to the Circuit de la Sarthe this year hoping maybe not for outright victory in its first time back, but definitely a strong finish on which it could build on for next year. All the while it undoubtedly hoped its 911s would hold their own in the GT classes.
Unfortunately for Porsche, neither happened. After racing around the clock, and despite actually leading the festivities for some time, the best its 919 Hybrid could manage was an eleventh-place finish, lagging lamentably behind not only the other LMP1s (like the race-winning Audi) but also a handful of LMP2s. Meanwhile the LMGTE Pro and LMGTE Am titles went to the factory-backed teams of its arch-rivals Ferrari and Aston Martin, respectively.
Not a stellar result, in other words, but Porsche is taking it all in stride - accepting that it has a ways to go while congratulating its vanquishing rivals in the video below. It's good sportsmanship if we've ever seen it. Next year's race starts now.
Porsche's Mauer recalls the history of the 918 Spyder, hints about next-gen 911
Wed, 26 Feb 2014The night before Porsche handed me the keys to its 2015 Macan to drive on both road and track, the company threw together a great dinner for the assembled media in Leipzig. Hosted in Porsche's spaceship-shaped customer delivery center in the eastern German town, I'll admit that I spent the bulk of my night grabbing hors d'oeuvres from passing waiters (they do a nice tuna sashimi), milling around a collection of historic and interesting vehicles on the top floor and gulping down Warsteiner.
In an era of mega car companies, the story of how the 918 came to be was really refreshing.
Before the evening was over, however, Porsche design chief Michael Mauer stopped by my table to exchange pleasantries and thank us all for coming out to drive the Macan. My fellow diners and I passed a pleasant half-hour or more picking the brain of the forthcoming Mauer, and somehow or another, the topic turned to Porsche's newest supercar, the 918 Spyder. In an era of mega car companies (the Volkswagen Group included) and massive development teams, the story of how the 918 came to be is really refreshing.
Porsche acquires ANDIAL, will integrate with in-house motorsports
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Porsche has purchased longtime motorsports and tuning house ANDIAL.
The Fountain Valley, California-based tuning house ANDIAL has been around since 1975, when it was formed by the Arnold Wagner, Dieter Inzenhofer and Alwin Springer (the company got its name by combining two letters from each of their names). The three men met while working in a Porsche dealership in Southern California and then left to start a business that would put Porsches in victory lane all over the country.
Porsches prepared by ANDIAL won IMSA GT and Supercar Series championships, the SCCA World Challenge, four Pikes Peak class titles and the 24 Hours of Daytona six times. Alwin Springer left the company in 1997 to run Porsche Motorsport North America until 2004 and remains a consultant with PMNA, Wagner passed away in 2011 and Inzenhofer plans to retire this year. ANDIAL is still a going concern, Inzenhofer presiding over a scaled-down engine parts and restoration business. But Inzenhofer is retiring at month's end, making it a good time for Porsche to step in and take over the company's operations.
