1991 Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet: To Restore Or Part on 2040-cars

Year:1991 Mileage:90000
Location:

Sudbury, Massachusetts, United States

Sudbury, Massachusetts, United States

Unfortunately my very well sorted 1991 Black/Linen 944 S2 was involved in a building collapse last week about an hour's north of New York City. Not having the time to deal with it I have decided to sell. As per the highly regarded body shop in which it is stored in New Windsor, NY, all the damage is cosmetic. The car is a fairly easy fix or probably worth even more parted, given the condition of the vehicle prior to the accident. No insurance claim so title will be delivered with no accident history.  Here's the best description I can give. I am not interested in parting the car out myself.

There were 2 previous owners who were true enthusiasts and did everything necessary to care for the car. Key maintenance such as tune ups, timing belt and water pump, suspension have all been updated. Champion Motorsport wheels and Pirelli tires in excellent condition. Brakes, electrical, etc. all worked with no issues. The front hood has an air scoop which the last owner installed. Original linen seats come with the car. Vehicle has 90,000 miles.

The damage was due to a beam that came down on top of the car. The damage is all cosmetic and includes as follows. To be replaced: right fender, trunk lid, right door, convertible top, convertible top frame, windshield and windshield frame.

The car was not insured so if you choose to fix it, there would be no accident reported on the carfax. This is/was a fantastic car and as I am sure you know, the last year of the 944 S2 Cabriolet in a very desirable color combination. The wheels/tires alone are worth $2,500 easily if you choose to part the car out. I have all the books, keys (2), car cover and front bra.  More pictures available upon request and car is available for inspection during the week.  Car must be picked up and paid for in full within 48 hours of auctions end.

In 1989 the 944S2 was introduced, powered by a 211 PS (155 kW; 208 hp) normally aspirated, dual-overhead-cam 16-valve 3.0L version of the 944Sengine. With a bore of 104 mm (4.1 in) and a stroke of 88 mm (3.5 in), it was the largest production 4-cylinder engine of its time. The 944S2 also received a revised transmission and gearing to better suit the 3.0-liter M44/41 powerplant. The 944S2 had the same rounded nose and a rear valance found on the Turbo model. This was the first example of the use of an integrated front bumper, where the fender and hood profiles would merge smoothly with the bumper, a design feature that has only now seen widespread adoption on the 1990 onward production cars. Performance was quoted as 0-60 mph in 6.0 seconds (0–100 km/h 6.8 s), with a top speed of 240 km/h (150 mph) via manual transmission. A Club Sport touring package (M637) was also available.


On Mar-09-14 at 19:04:19 PDT, seller added the following information:

The correct model year is 2000 (not 2001).  Once the auction started I was not able to correct the title listing.  Also the car has just over 100,000 miles now.


Also, for those interested repairing the car, the shop's estimate for labor (body) was $2,2,00 (@37 hours).  I have no affiliation of this body shop; it was recommended to me by the local and well respected independent Porsche tech (Advanced Automotive of New Windsor, NY).

Porsche Cayman, Boxster caught in GTS trim

Sat, 18 Jan 2014

A few months ago, we reported on some leaked information from an internal presentation for upcoming Porsche models. This included details about the Macan and the 911 Targa, which we now know to be true, but there was also talk about GTS versions of the Cayman and Boxster.
Well, it appears we're now getting our first look at these GTS models, as our spy photographers have just snapped a pair of Porsche prototypes out testing - one Cayman and one Boxster.
Right off the bat, we can see that both GTS-branded cars will get a slightly tweaked exterior with new fascias (bringing LED daytime running lights to the Cayman) and air diffusers at the rear. The true gem of these cars will be the added horsepower to the tune of 340 horsepower - a 15-hp bump. A manual transmission will likely be standard, as will Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM).

Take a POV hot lap in the Porsche 918 Spyder

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

That title about says it all. This is a hot lap of the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, TX, with Porsche Works Driver Patrick Long at the wheel of a Porsche 918 Spyder. The camera is basically showing us everything that Long sees, making this not just one of the coolest 918 videos we've seen, but also one of the neatest laps of CoTA.
As Long peers through the bends, so will you. You'll see him fight the wheel, and find out just how difficult it is to hustle this hybrid hypercar around a world-class track at speed. It's pretty darn entertaining. There are also a few scattered shots of the 918's exterior just to break up the interior awesomeness, although we aren't exactly complaining about those. Take a look below for the short video from Porsche.

24 Hours of Le Mans an on-and-off love affair

Mon, 24 Jun 2013

There was little usual about this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans - intermittent rain in the weeks before the race meant cars didn't get on track as much as they wanted, and intermittent rain during the race meant cars went off track a lot more than they wanted. The race started with a wet track, and one of the records broken because of the random downpours was the number of times the safety car led the field - 11 times this year - although the record of two hours and 53 minutes of lapping behind the safety car, set in 2011, was not eclipsed.
None of that served to dampen the action. With little more than an hour left in the race there were cars still only a few seconds apart fighting for position, leads still changing because of pit stops and everyone drafting anyone they could.
Things didn't go the usual way up front, either - well, not exactly...
