This 1985 Porsche 944 has a lot going for it. Of course, there is
the styling that to this day remains captivating with its broad
fenders and hips and aggressive Teutonic stance. Our 944 here has
had a respray in its original red and presents quite well overall.
This example is also equipped with the optional iconic Fuchs wheels
that are wider than the standard "phone dial" wheels enhancing both
appearance and handling. That legendary handling is present thanks
to a near perfect balance and finely tuned chassis. Yet with its
rear hatch and small back seats, this is also a sensible option for
those us who want a classic European performance car that is usable
throughout the week or on grocery errands.. It is a well-known fact
among Porsche fans that many 944's have fallen into disrepair and
will require substantial expense to put right. The extensive
documentation of paperwork, receipts, and notes accompanying this
car assures that this is a well maintained example that will not be
a money trap going forward. As you should expect from a well
maintained vehicle, everything on the car works. The cool flip-up
lights work flawlessly. The instruments all function as designed.
The engine starts briskly and runs without vibrations. Acceleration
is excellent. It has smooth clutch action and thanks to
installation of a short throw kit, shifting is a treat with precise
throws. Recent service includes a brake system overhaul with new
calipers and discs, as well as a new alternator. The seat
upholstery is clean without any rips or tears. The headliner, rear
seats, dash, and cargo area are excellent. There is an added
instrument pod in the dash, where the factory speaker grill sits.
This can be reversed as the grill is included with the car.
Included as well are sun visors, a set of brake discs, and the
original steering wheel, This car has the extra large, fabulous
lift-out sunroof. The panel stores in the cargo area and when
removed, really opens the cockpit. The car also looks really cool
with the roof removed and the air dam up. All in all, this is a
mechanically strong, clean 944 that will provide years of fun.
