Up for sale is a 1987 Porsche 944S. The car is in excellent condition but does have some minor maintenance issues to be addressed as well as a few cosmetic blemishes. Because of several minor problems the buyer will have to address I am selling the car at a lower price than it could reach if these problems were addressed. I purchased the car to either re-sell or to keep but I'm moving within the next several months and the remaining attention it needs will have to come from the new owner. I am the third owner of a maraschino red metallic Porsche 944S with a 5-speed manual and the 16-valve DOHC motor as the "S" designates. This listing will last until a buyer either purchases the car, or till 24-hours from the end of the online auction. Best offers will be considered within reason, please don't waste my or your time with offers lower than the current bid. I will try to completely describe the areas of the vehicle and any issues that will need to be addressed by the buyer, but I will doubtlessly leave something out so please if you have any questions send me an email and I will try to respond with an answer and any pictures requested as soon as I can. I will outline each section of the car bellow in very fine detail so please read each section carefully. If you find I've described something that isn't pictured please let me know and I'll upload pictures of the addressed description as soon as possible. Body and Exterior: The paint and exterior of the car are in excellent condition with the exception of a few blemishes. There are several larger sections on the fiberglass front air dam where the paint has flexed and chipped away along with several cracks and scraped sections, very common with these cars. On the rear bumper caps there is one smaller piece that has been worn away and some speckling on the same piece on the left side. The car has a number of small stone chips on the front, and several small spots on the roof and front headlamp cover where it's been bumped leaving a small unbroken depression. There are also rock chips on the wing mirrors, and hazing around door handles, gas cap, and the rear hatch keyhole. The clearcoat is largely without blemish but if you look closely you can find small places where tar or other contaminates have left marks, there are also minor scuffs from the usual wear and tear of a car this age. I have handwashed the car only and used a lite coat of carnauba wax to protect the paint. I have not buffed or polished the car, nor attempted to fix any of the minor issues in order to let the buyer address the problems in the manner they see fit, the rock chips cant doubtlessly be largely solved by touchup, but the front air dam may need to be repainted to completely address the issues. The glass is all undamaged, there are several hairline cracks in the right headlamp lens, and one in the left fog lamp. The wheels are the original Phone-Dials with painted center caps, they are largely in good condition but do have some scrapes. The side trim pieces which denote the car as 16-valve have come unstuck and fallen off over the years and will need to be purchased and repainted to the body color to match. Engine and Mechanical: I purchased the car several years ago and during that time I have worked on it off and on in spare time. When I purchased the car it was non-running due to timing belt failure. I have since rebuilt the top end with 12/16 valves needing replacement, I also installed new valve seals during the process as well as new timing and balance shaft belts. Apart from the rebuild of the head there have been a handful of parts necessary to replace including a new valve cover seal and cam seal and fuel filter, the tank and fuel lines were also drained. The car is currently running and has good compression and oil pressure after the rebuild. It is still not running as well as I would like due to an injector issue. It will likely need to either have the injectors rebuilt, or replaced. In addition, the distributor rotor, cap, and wires will need to be replaced. The battery is new, the tires have been on the car since I purchased it and seem to be in acceptable shape but given their age and quality I would recommend replacing them. The owner stated when I purchased the car that the odometer had ceased to function shortly after he purchased the car. He estimated that because the car was being driven regularly that its mileage is between one hundred, and one hundred and twenty-five thousand miles. Judging by the condition of numerous components as well as the timing belt failure, which appears to be the original, I would estimate that this is correct. The odometer currently reads seventy-three thousand miles. The car is not currently registered to drive on the road, so it will need to be trailered to its destination. During the process of rebuilding a piece of the accelerator linkage which is described as a deflection roller Part No. 94411022200 turned up missing. I ordered one which ended up getting lost in shipping and according to online parts suppliers it could take several weeks to have one shipped. This affects the feel of the throttle but I have circumvented the problem for the time being for the sake of drivability, it will be between $15 and $25 to purchase another. During re-assembly one of the valve cover bolts was over torqued. I purchased another but I haven't bothered to replace it. It doesn't cause any leaks or other issues but I would rather mention even small problems. The A/C system is untested. It may simply need to be checked and re-charged but all I know is that the compressor does engage when the A/C is toggled on. The cruise control is also untested. There are several rust holes behind the exhaust tip and before the muffler. Interior: The interior of the car is in nearly perfect shape. There is one wear spot on the side bolstering of the driver's seat, and one spot on the passenger's seat where the stitching has separated. The car has a Pioneer sound system that was professionally installed, although the original radio is included. The face of the A/C switch is missing, there is a smudged brown stain on the center armrest. The car comes with dealer installed carpeted floor mats. The sunroof, windows, electric mirrors are all fully functional. The dash is uncracked. If you intend to purchase the car outright via the local listing, and plan on traveling to pick it up, I require a $500 non-refundable deposit to cancel the online auction and the rest in cash on pickup. The same applies to the winner of the online auction. I can store the car almost indefinitely but I will only be available in person for the next several months. I reserve the right to end the item early regardless of bid status.Please contact me through the local listing if you have any questions pertaining to purchasing the car directly. If you are local and would like to see the car send me an email and we can arrange a time. Again please contact me if you have any questions. |

Porsche sees error of ways, next 911 GT3 to offer manual transmission
Fri, Mar 4 2016Consider this Porsche's mea culpa. After creating an uproar over selling a new 911 GT3 without a manual transmission, the automaker introduced the limited-edition, manual-equipped 911 R in Geneva. That car is just a stopgap, though. It's meant to hold 911 drivers over until the next GT3 arrives with the same six-speed manual transmission. Yes, the next-gen GT3 will get an old-fashioned six-speed manual, according to a new report from Autocar (but the GT3 RS will still be PDK-only). In fact, the same report claims Porsche will make sure that the 911 GT3 remains the car for the brand's most ardent purists. While the rest of the Porsche range moves to turbocharged engines, the GT3 will stick to its naturally aspirated guns. That comes direct from the big boss behind the GT3, Andreas Preuninger, who told the magazine this would be the case "for the foreseeable future." According to Preuninger, the only member of Porsche's GT line that will go turbocharged is the one that's been that way all along – the GT2 and GT2 RS, which we'll see next year. And yes, Preuninger's statement about limited turbocharging applies to the Cayman GT4, too, even though the model that high-performer is based on has moved to a line of turbocharged engines. When the next GT4 arrives, it'll be with a flat-six in the middle. Related Video:
President Obama will be on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee
Tue, Dec 22 2015The seventh season of Jerry Seinfeld's excellent Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee will debut on Wednesday, December 30, and if this first trailer is any indication, the guest lineup is damn impressive. But rather than building up to one big guest over the course of the season, the show is starting with one of the biggest guests possible – the president of the United States. President Barack Obama will join Seinfeld behind the wheel of what looks like a 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray for a trip around the South Lawn of the White House. According to CBS, the pair will enjoy their coffee in the staff dining room, which is probably a better idea than crippling Washington, D.C., with a Stingray-led motorcade. Aside from the president, Seinfeld has recruited a couple comedy icons, including first-timers Will Ferrell and Steve Martin. Also appearing are Garry Shandling, Sebastian Maniscalco, and Kathleen Madigan. The four-wheeled stars will include the Corvette, a Plymouth Superbird, a Chevy Camaro, a classic Porsche 911, a BMW 2002, and what we think is a (rather troublesome) 1952 Siata 208 8V Coupe Balbo. You can check out the entire trailer up at the top of the page.

Chris Harris brings together the 918 Spyder, LaFerrari, and P1
Sat, Nov 21 2015The Porsche 918 Spyder, Ferrari LaFerrari, and McLaren P1 show that a hybrid powertrain can make for blistering performance despite its electric assist. This trio doesn't arrive on track together very often, but Chris Harris assembled these three stars at the Portimao circuit for a nearly hour-long demonstration of their amazing capabilities. So, which one is quickest around the track? Harris provides an answer with in-car video of all three contenders. His team also goes out of its way to even the playing field by sourcing tires independently from Pirelli for the P1 and LaFerrari. With the technical part out of the way, Harris can start having fun by doing his usual slides during the driving comparison. Tiff Needell and Marino Franchitti also eventually show up to provide the perfect recipe for a track battle in these hypercars. If you don't have the time, skip about 14:25 into the clip just to see the lap times. However, those numbers only tell a tiny part of the story. The whole video is definitely worth a watch.
