1987 Porsche 944 Turbo Coupe 2-door 2.5l on 2040-cars
Cincinnati, Ohio, United States
This car is in great shape. It is one of my own personal cars that I am selling off. The 951 just never grew on me like my 911s did. Therefore I'd like to sell it off to invest I to another 911 car.
I'm unsure of how many owners there have been. The guy I purchased it from only drove it a few thousand miles in the 9yrs that he owned it. I've since put 3k miles on it just driving it to work in little of the year that I owned it. I never drove it in the winter. Things I have addressed since owning the car. I've replaced the following: DME relay Ignition switch Engine mounts with Lindsey racing solid mounts with custom water jetted hard foam disk to soften the vibrations. Oil cooler line Oem acc belts Sunroof gears (not installed yet) Front splitter Weighted bronze shift knob that's threaded. Gold gauge rings Re soldered the dme and klr New clutch Slave cylinders with stainless steel line Ball joints (not installed yet) 3" exhaust w/o cat R-134a conversion New position sensors Upper windshield washer pump Rear hatch struts Lindsey racing spark plug wires Msd coil Polk audio door speakers Sony head unit with aux input The bad things about the car: The a/c has a leak in it. I charged it and it lasted most of the spring/summer but has finally bled off. The sunroof gears need replaced. I have these that will go with the car. The passenger exterior door handle is hard to open. It does work but takes a Firm grip to open it up. Window washers don't spray. Can hear the pump kick on that I replaced but never looked into it any further. The paint has started to peel off only on the passenger side door bumper strip. Hasn't peeled anywhere else and there's no rust anywhere The dash is cracked. Very typical of these cars. I never found a non cracked dash in the time I owned it. The aftermarket steering wheel will be replaced with the oem steering wheel that it came with. I will also be putting the oem phone dials back on the car as well bc the 996 911 wheels on it belong to my 996 c2. I do also have a lot of aftermarket parts I never put on that I have for sale. The are the following: Gts headlight kit Rollbar Adj fpr 3 bar fpr Tial 38mm adapter plates and tial 38mm wastegate Pro flow maf kit brace Brey Krause R 1524 Oem stage 1 clutch disc Oem pressure plate Light weight flywheel I will be posting more pictures as I get some taken. These are just the ones I have this far. Any further questions you can text me at 513-302-6014 A 500 dollar non-refundable deposit is required with in the 48 hours of the auction end time. |

Preparing for Le Mans 2014 Porsche remembers 1971 and the 917 [w/video]
Sun, 07 Apr 2013Porsche has given us another look back at its successes at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. This time it's 1971, the year that its 917 set records that haven't all been eclipsed. It's 45-kilogram magnesium tube frame was the lightest, Jackie Oliver set the fastest in-race lap with a time that still stands, and winning drivers Helmut Marko - the same Helmut Marko currently with Infiniti Red Bull Racing - and Gilles Lethem did so many laps that their distance wasn't exceeded until the Audi R15 TDI did it in 2010.
1971 was also the year of the "Pink Pig." With bodywork created by a French aerodynamics firm, the wider, rounder 917 earned the porcine moniker so Porsche painted it pink and labeled it with the cuts you'd get from a pig. Sponsor Martini was so miffed they demanded all Martini branding be removed. No one can remove the thousands of photographs taken of the car ever since. Enjoy that and more in the video below.
DP Motorsport tries to turn a vintage Porsche 911 into a sleeper
Tue, 20 Aug 2013Once you get past the fact that it's hard to call a car a sleeper when it has race-product stickers on its quarter panel, and the script across the back panel reads "Porsche 911 3.2 Sleeper," it's fun to imagine what this car can do. Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Porsche 911, Germany's DP Motorsport took a model from 1986, stripped it of everything - including the paint and undercoating - then replaced everything with lightweight and race-ready parts.
In went race cams and ported cylinder heads, a lightweight flywheel, an RSR titanium racing exhaust, 935-style lollipop seats and RSR carpeting, a lightweight battery, perforated and galvanized hinges and brackets, hardened perspex windows. The 3.2-liter engine puts out 270 horsepower - 70 hp above the stock 911 on sale here in 1986 - and 226 pound-feet of torque through a limited slip differential to staggered wheels. The exterior color is metallic rock-green lacquer.
If you want one, $120,00 is where the part starts, but DP Motorsport says it offers the parts individually if you don't need your vintage Porsche to sleep this hard. On a side note, for a chucklesome journey back in time, check out this review of the 1986 911 that gets things going with this line: "First off, the Porsche 911 is very expensive - how does about 40 thou grab you?" Back on topic, there's a press release below that tells the rest of the story of the 3.2 Sleeper.
Force India F1 driver Nico Hulkenberg will drive a Porsche at Le Mans
Mon, Dec 1 2014Sahara Force India Formula One driver Nico Hulkenberg is officially part of the Porsche factory team for next year's 24 Hours of Le Mans; the last time a current F1 driver got permission from his team to compete in the world's biggest endurance race was in 2009 when Toro Rosso let Sebastien Bourdais pilot for Peugeot. That will make it an even busier May and June for Hulkenberg, who will get to know the 919 Hybrid in race trim by driving the 6 Hours of Spa on May 2. He'll follow that with two F1 races in May, then do the Le Mans practice day on May 31, race for Force India at the Canadian Grand Prix on June 7, be in action for Porsche at Le Mans the next weekend, then back in a Force India the following weekend in Austria. Hulkenberg is the first driver to be named for Porsche's third LMP1 in next year's race, and we already know that former F1 colleague Mark Webber will be in one of the other cars. The other two drivers joining the German haven't been named yet, but speculation is that Porsche GT drivers in the manufacturer team are on the shortlist. Numerous observers also think it could be a suitable job for a certain Englishman who might have competed in his last race for McLaren...
