Vehicle Description
Motorcar Studio is pleased to offer this 1988 Porsche 944
Celebration Edition, one of only 250 offered in Zermatt Silver over
plaid Porsche Studio cloth interior (the other 250 produced, for a
total production run of 500 special edition cars in the U.S.
market, were black). Paint and body remain in good condition with
no known rust issues; the rockers are bent in a few spots due to
improper jacking over the years, but otherwise there's no damage to
note. "Phone Dial" wheels were recently professionally refinished
and present as new. Three owners, 85k miles, clean CarFax with no
accidents.
We love the Porsche Studio plaid cloth interior; the original
fabric has held up quite well, aside from minor wear on the
passenger seat bolster - a few yards of matching upholstery are
included with the sale should the next owner choose to have the
seat (or just that panel) re-done. Period Pioneer cassette stereo
is working. A/C has been converted to R-134a and is blowing
cold.
This 944 runs well - it's easily among the best balanced cars of
the 1980s and is always a pleasure to drive. This one has been well
maintained and has no known service needs. Water pump was done in
2016 at 81k miles, timing belt in 2018 at 82k, plus recent
transmission service, oil service, new radiator, and both hood and
hatch struts.
In short, this is a clean and well-maintained example out of
enthusiast ownership that's ready to be driven and enjoyed, with
the added benefit of being a limited edition with a cool interior
and great exterior color (Porsche offered the "Celebration Edition"
of fewer than 1,000 cars worldwide to celebrate the 100,000th 944
produced). For more information about this 1988 Porsche 944
Celebration Edition for sale at Motorcar Studio, please call
