Black 1984 Porsche 944, 2 Door Coupe, Gold Fuchs, 5 Speed, European Vin # on 2040-cars
Urbandale, Iowa, United States
This is NOT the correct vin # for this Porsche 944. I used the vin off of another old vehicle of mine because ebay would not allow this European vin. The CORRECT vin for the 944 that I am selling is WP0ZZZ94ZEN407643. This Porsche 944 is far from perfect. I bought this Porsche to fix it up, but don't have the time anymore so thought it would possibly be a great project car for somebody else. While owning the Porsche, I installed a new high torque starter, two new crank sensors, and a new relay switch. Everything that is wrong with this 944 is listed above and despite the long list, this 944 has a few good qualities. First off there are approximately only 75,200 actual miles. There are no dings, dents, or rust. Very solid straight body. Also very powerful and shifted smoothly when it ran. Top speed is 170 mph. One unique thing is that its a European edition. Tires are in good condition. The Porsche comes with four keys. One for the doors, hatch, and ignition. One key for the glove box. One key for the Porsche factory alarm which still works (key activated). One key for the special Porsche lug nut lock (one on each tire). Porsche does come with the original spare tire and jack. Also has a Blaupunkt cd player. I'm not the original owner and not quite sure of its history. This is a straight auction with no reserve, so enjoy! Contact me with any questions you may have.

Can a Corvette really be compared to a 911 with options costing more than the Chevy?
Wed, 29 Jan 2014In this latest video from Drive, Chris Harris asks straight away, "Can you still compare a base Corvette to a Porsche Carerra?" That's an particularly interesting question in this film, as the 911 in question is a 400-horsepower Carrera S model that's been fitted with $60,000 in options. Base price of a Corvette Stingray? $51,995. Harris' tester features an automatic and some other goodies that push it right up to that $60,000 range. So yes, the options on the Porsche cost as much as this entire 460-hp Chevrolet.
Harris stresses that this isn't a full review, but he does exercise both cars in a more composed manner before reverting to his traditionally exuberant driving style. The impressions are, as always, spot on, with Harris favoring the pointy nature and V8 power of the Stingray, while enjoying the gearbox (Porsche's exceptional PDK transmission) and just about everything else on the 911.
Take a look below for the latest video from Drive, and let us know if you agree with Mr. Harris' views on these two sports cars.
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.

Parents of terminally ill child sue after son dies following make-a-wish-style ride
Wed, 30 Jul 2014Some stories are so sad and depressing, they make you want to go back to bed and pull the covers over your head. This is one such story. 14-year-old Raphael Wittman was suffering from an unspecified form of terminal cancer when he was invited by the children's cancer charity Kinder Krebs Hilfe to a charity drive organized by Porsche Forum Austria. During the drive, the Porsche Boxster Wittman was riding in was involved in a head-on collision. Both of his legs were broken and he bit off his tongue in the wreck. He died seven weeks later, in a Vienna hospital. Now, his father is suing the charity, claiming that the accident robbed his son of the will to live.
"The accident set off a chain of events starting with the doctors putting him on new medication for the cancer he had. He was always a fighter, but suddenly he was saying that he was not going to fight any more," Franz Wittman told Austria's Kurier, according to The Guardian. "We would have had a wonderful last time together [on vacation] but it never happened because of the accident."
Father and son were originally planning to go to Tenerife to spend time together, although those plans were cancelled following the accident.
