1987 Porsche 944 Turbo
186k well-cared-for miles. Runs like a car with half the miles. Not driven hard. No big mechanical issues. A/C blows cold, even in Austin, TX.
Would make a VERY easy full restoration candidate, a fun driver a few times a week as I've used it, or a great track day car.
I will include a full and complete set of Porsche service manuals including the Turbo supplement binder.
Work done since I've had the car: new clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder, new rack and pinion, new A/C compressor, accumulator, and evaporator (Lines flushed while apart, professionally vaccumed and recharged), Speedometer and odometer rebuilt (Trip odometer is reliable now-a big problem with these cars), turn signal switch replaced, center console lid replaced.
The previous owner installed a Kenwood stereo that stopped working a couple of months ago. I have the original stereo and equalizer, which come with the car.
A previous owner replaced the gauge cluster, so the exact mileage was lost. This does not effect the title or registration on the car. The mileage showing now reflects the correct mileage (within a thousand) based on the old cluster and the mileage since.
Brakes are in good shape, but do squeek sometimes at random. (Previous owner installed Pagid black pads...great stopping power but can be noisy sometimes)
The body is in very nice shape except for a small dent on the top of the driver's side fender. The paint was in good shape when I got the car, but because of someone earlier wet-sanding and over-buffing the clear on the hood and roof, the Texas sun has worn off some of the clear finish on the hood and roof (visible in pics-the last pic shows how the car looked two years ago). The reserve will reflect my understanding that the car needs to be painted, at least the roof, hood, and headlight doors.
Interior is original and very nice except for a few cracks in the dash. (Hard to find a 944 without a cracked dash.)
Sun roof fits good and comes on and off easily, but the rear-lift function doesn't work. I've never missed it so I didn't fix it. I take the roof off if it's nice out.
The car has a small oil leak from the pan. We're talking a 3 inch wide small puddle every few weeks in the garage. Not a big deal, but I want to be honest.
Pictures are honest and speak for themselves. This is a good car that needs just a few things to be a great car. I'd rather keep it, but I have a baby on the way.
Buyer will be responsible for pick up and/or shipping. I will accept cash or cashier's check only. Full payment expected within 7 days of auction end.

Porsche Macan teaser reveals unique quad-LEDs
Fri, 11 Oct 2013In truth, all-but-undisguised prototypes for the upcoming Porsche Macan compact crossover have been spotted galavanting all around the globe for some time now, but even the least-camouflaged examples have been caught wearing eyepatches covering their headlights and taillights. A dark new teaser image from Porsche clues us in to why that is - the baby Cayenne is getting unique quad-LED peepers up front.
Porsche has been hinting at lighting innovations in its production cars through recent concept reveals, including the stunning Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo showcar from last year's Paris Motor Show. The wagonized Panamera also featured four-point LED arrays up front, as well is in the rear, so it seems likely that this lighting will become a Porsche design signature going forward.
Powerpoint slides leaked from a recent dealer meeting suggest the Macan S will arrive packing a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6, while the Macan Turbo will boast a 3.6-liter force-fed unit, with both models receiving seven-speed PDK dual-clutch gearboxes. Pricing is expected to range from $52,000 for the S model to $75,000 for the Turbo.
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.
2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed statue unveiled
Thu, 11 Jul 2013Each year at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, a single marque is celebrated with a large and ornate "Central Feature" sculpture, with recent automakers including Audi in 2009, Alfa Romeo in 2010, Jaguar in 2011 and Lotus last year. This year, Porsche gets the honor, and it is using the opportunity to commemorate 50 years of the 911.
The sculpture features three generations of the 911 towering over the Goodwood House. The most recent 991 911 has the lowest position, with an original 1963 car second highest and a 1973 2.7 RS at the top of the pile. Be sure to check out the sculpture for yourself in the gallery of images above.
