GKM.com) Fun. Maybe the most important discipline of all. - Porsche
944 period magazine-advertisement headline. Offered here is a 1989
Porsche 944 in Guards Red over black. Many Porsche enthusiasts
celebrate the purity of the driving experience of the 944 cars. And
it's fair to say, Guards Red/black cars-the most popular colors by
far back in the day-hold a special appeal. This 944 is a very nice
example of one such car that most definitely appeals to the eye,
and driver's emotion. Originally delivered to Hinsdale Motor Cars
of Hinsdale, Illinois, the 944's odometer currently shows 128,555
miles, which is respectable for a car that rolled off the line as a
1989 model. The Guards Red single-stage exterior paint retains very
good gloss and consistency across the entire body, including the
boxed fenders, flag-style side-view mirrors, and sunroof panel.
Properly maintained, there is no limit to how long Porsche paint
can look great, as this 944 demonstrates. Factory-applied,
anti-stone-chip coatings remain applied forward of the rear wheels.
The Porsche-crest hood emblem, rear-deck, black 944 emblem, and
lower-rear Porsche lettering are all in place. A fitted,
Porsche-branded car cover (a reliable sign of fastidious-owner
care) is included in the sale. Black treatments surrounding the
cabin glass and on the door handles are in excellent condition;
there was no chrome on 944 bodies. Cabin glass-including on the
expansive rear hatch is clear and free of damage; lighting lenses
are also in very nice condition. The classic phone-dial original
15-inch alloy wheels with Porsche-logo center caps are in excellent
condition. The condition of the interior surfaces is exceptional.
The dash is free of the cracks that often plagued these cars. Black
leather upholstery on the 911-style bucket seats show some age, but
free of damage, rips, and serious fading. Door trim appears
virtually as-new with original-style factory speaker grilles in
place. The factory-optioned leather-trimmed steering
wheel-identical to that used on 911 models-has been superbly
maintained. The full complement of analog instruments are in place
on the new-style dashboard seen on later 944 models. An upgraded,
replacement Blaupunkt Aspen audio head unit has perfectly replaced
the factory Reno radio. The console hosts the shifter for the
5-speed manual transmission, sunroof switches, sliding-door over a
perfectly unused ash tray, and armrest with storage. Cabin floors
(including the cargo area) are covered in black carpeting in very
good condition with matching black carpet mats featuring
red-embroidered Porsche logos. Under the hood, the 2.7-liter
Porsche inline 4-cylinder commands a clean, detailed, well-ordered,
and complete engine bay. No aftermarket modifications are noted.
Viewed from below, the chassis is straight and complete with no
sign of damage as might be the case from too-aggressive driving
styles or extensive track use. All components are properly in
place. The car's original identification markings remain in place.
The sale includes the original window sticker, and fitted car cover
as well as a pile of maintenance documentation. Highlights from the
car's original window sticker (which is included in the sale), some
of the factory-installed equipment included: Exterior color code:
G1 (Guards Red); Interior code LT (Black partial leather), 4-cy
