1986 Porsche 944 Guards Red on 2040-cars
Portland, Oregon, United States
|
Porsche 944 in guards red with beige cloth interior, front seats have sheep skin covers. 120,000 original miles on the motor. This car came from my neighbors garage when they were moving a few weeks ago. It looks to have been sitting for some time, I found receipts on the passenger seat from 1999! It has no plates, though it does come with the title, which is Oregon and branded as rebuilt. I have looked the car over and it shows no signs of damage other than the passenger door looking to have been repainted and a small ding in the front quarter panel near the passenger headlight. The car looks great and is showing no rust.
When I got the car I drained the coolant and oil and replaced with new fluids, replaced the battery and gave it fresh gas. the car started just fine with a bit of smoke out of the exhaust which went away after a minute or two. Not having plates I have not been able to do much road testing, though it has been around the block a few times and the car accelerates, stops, and turns as it should. Car is a 5 speed and it gets through all the gears just fine as well as reverse. I did a compression test and all cylinders looked good reading at: 1:230Lbs. 2:220Lbs. 3:200Lbs. 4:230Lbs. The interior is fairly clean though the rear seats have a few rips in them and the fronts are covered by sheep skin. The ignition seems to have a key broken off in it so the car starts below the dash with a screwdriver, A new ignition cylinder and key is included. All of the lights work fine and the pop up headlights move up and down just fine. Neither of the windows work and i have had no time to troubleshoot this yet, though the car came with a window switch in the center console. The sunroof works just fine and is easily removed. Also included is a full motor gasket set and a new water pump as well as a timing belt. Looks as though the previous owner was going to put some work into the car. The tires have good tread and are holding air. The wheels are original Porsche "phone dials" and are in great shape. This car is new to me and I have no experience working on Porsche's and I am not that eager to learn. I really want to pass this car on to someone who is excited to have a 944. I am a BMW guy myself, I own and drive an E30 M3 daily, and feel conflicted having this other German sports car in my driveway. The car is good and would be a great project for someone, just not me right now. Like I have stated, this car has not been fully tested. It starts, runs, drives, and stops. that's about all I can tell you though, I have not had it checked by any professional mechanics or shops. All that said, car is sold AS IS where it is! buyer will coordinate and pay for any shipping I will help out with that however I can though. Thanks for looking and good luck. Feel free to contact me with any questions or to request photos. |

Porsche wants you to 3D print your own Cayman
Tue, 10 Dec 2013Have you got access to a 3D printer? Well lucky you, because as we're rapidly learning, the possibilities are virtually endless. And if your tastes lean towards the automotive (as we'd assume they do if you're reading this page), we've got good news.
Porsche has just released 3D printing data for the Cayman S so you can three-dimensionally print out your own and customize to your heart's content. Now Porsche hasn't specified just to what scale the data will allow you to print your Cayman, but we have a feeling that'd mostly be limited by the size of the printer at your disposal. Check it out in the video below and follow the link to the Porsche site to download the file.
2013 Porsche 911 RSR makes official debut
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Porsche is ready to go racing in 2013, showing off a new 911 RSR today that is scheduled to compete in several endurance events this year. Based on the current 991 911, the new RSR will compete in the 2013 season of the World Endurance Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. It will not, however, make an appearance in a North American racing series this year.
The 2013 version of the racecar has increased in wheelbase by some four inches, features a new wishbone front suspension in place of the last-generation's McPherson strut setup and boasts a new, lightweight six-speed racing gearbox. The engine, meanwhile, is an "optimized" version of last year's car, a 460-horsepower 4.0-liter boxer six-cylinder. Extensive use of carbon fiber and polycarbonate windows help the RSR shed weight, and Porsche has also balanced the weight more evenly with a lower center of gravity.
Porsche has thoughtfully dedicated some space to celebrate the 911's 50th Anniversary, with the number 50 clearly visible in the top-down view of the RSR, as well as along the doors. Scroll down to read the full Porsche press release, below.
Porsche Macan sales may push brand past 200K unit goal early
Tue, 13 Aug 2013In late 2010, Volkswagen announced that it would spend the equivalent of $71 billion through 2015 to beef up its product lineup, determined to overtake Toyota in overall sales and profitability by 2018. Each of VW's many brands, in turn, would play its part contributing to a goal of 10 million sales per year. VW-owned Porsche was expected to sell 200,000 vehicles per year by 2018, but with the imminent arrival of the Macan small sport utility vehicle in 2014, the automaker is poised to meet that goal years ahead of schedule, Automotive News reports.
Porsche sold 143,096 cars in 2012, and IHS Automotive predicts Porsche will sell 63,000 Macans in 2014, according to Automotive News, which would make it the brand's best-selling vehicle. Do the math and you can see how Porsche could easily beat original expectations ahead of schedule. But Porsche's sales and marketing boss Bernhard Maier says not so fast: "We will not offer [63,000 Macans] in 2014 as we will still be ramping up production and introducing models top down," he told Automotive News Europe. Whether Porsche surpasses the 200,000 mark early or not, he said, the company will not set a new sales target and will remain committed to its business model.
The Macan shares its architecture with the Audi Q5, but Porsche will be able to charge more for its SUV. Tim Urquhart, a senior analyst at IHS Autmotive, told Automotive News that Porsche can charge 10 to 20 percent more, for what is basically the same SUV, than other VW Group brands. How's that for brand value?
