1983 Porsche 944 Base Coupe 2-door 2.5l 96k Actual Miles on 2040-cars
Madison, Wisconsin, United States
|
I'm selling my 1983 Porsche. It is in very good condition. I am the 3rd owner of the car. The original owner sold it to a colleague at work in 1989, and I bought it from him this past April. I have not owned the car long, but I have drove it almost 10K. I would trust this car to drive anywhere for any distance. It had 86K on it when I purchased it. I have the name, number and address of the mechanic and shop who serviced this vehicle since new. I just had the timing belt, and water pump done last month.
There are no leaks of any kind that I have noticed. The car does not burn oil, clutch is as it should be, and all gears are as they should be. The AC works, but could use some more R12. It's cool, but not cold. Heat works awesome. Mechanically everything is sound. Tires are Michellins with 85% tread left on each. No uneven wear. Alignment is straight. Brakes are good. I put new hood supports in as well. I have changed the oil every 3500 miles with Mobile 1 synthetic 10/30. New fuel filter installed as well. And new air filter. There are some rock chips in the paint, but nothing excessive and not a lot considering the 31 year age of the car. Small dent in drivers door. It could be popped out by removing inside door panel, but it's not bad, so I wasn't concerned with it. Small dent under right side tail light, not very noticable either. No rust. Paint is very glossy and sharp looking. Has aftermarket cd player, single disk. Some cracks in the dash, but not bad. Couple pix show what's there. I average 27 mpg and use 87 octane fuel. Overall, mechanically and cosmetically this car is very good. Low miles for the year, and has been kept in great condition. I do have the main records for the maintenance as well. I called the original mechanic after I purchased the car to check when things such as timing belt and water pump were done, and if any major issues were fixed. Nothing major done, just routine timing, water pump, etc. I also did a full tune up on the car when I bought it a few months ago. New plugs, cap, rotor, wires. Again, I would trust this car to drive anywhere in my opinion. I use it as a daily driver and have not had any issues. Fun car that gets great gas mileage. Please ask any questions if you have any. This is a 4 seater. The front has plenty of room...the back seats, not so much! I usually leave the back seat folded down for larger cargo area. Front seats have some tears mainly along some of the seams, but are in very good shape. I have heavy duty seat covers on them to protect them. The car is also for sale locally so seller has the right to end auction if the vehicle is no longer available. This is a no reserve auction, so high bidder will receive the car. |

1985 Porsche 911 rally-style classic to be auctioned for good cause
Tue, Apr 5 2016Porsches are supposed to inhabit race tracks, winding roads, and wide, flashy boulevards, right? Not all of them. Take this 1985 911 Carrera, which was has been converted into a rally-style toy that we'd love to sample on a dusty, tree-lined section of dirt. Nicknamed #Luftauto, this lovely 911 is being auctioned off by RM Sothebys during Luftgekuhlt, an event dedicated to air-cooled Porsches and put together in part by Porsche racer Patrick Long. The car has been extensively modified, both aesthetically and in terms of outright performance. We're digging the 15-inch Braid wheels, custom rally lights, and an Auto Foreign Services roof rack on the exterior. The cabin gets a custom rollbar, but it's the driver interfaces we're really drooling over – there's an OMP steering wheel and a CNC-milled shift knob made of walnut and maple, while driver and passenger will be kept in their fancy Recaro seats by Schroth Rallye harnesses. The limited tweaks to the numbers-matching, 3.2-liter flat-six – the headers and exhaust have been swapped with SSi units – do wonders for the Porsche's already impressive soundtrack. The engine isn't a new unit, of course, but it's fresh off a major round of service. There are ample suspension mods, too, with a custom-designed KW setup and long-travel dampers. A cool car being put up for auction is exciting enough, but the profits from #Luftauto are going to something even cooler – cancer research. In particular, the money made will be donated to the Autumn Leaves Project, a charity that's dedicated to battling pancreatic cancer. For those not familiar, pancreatic cancer is one of the most despised, merciless forms of cancer around, infamous for its ability to remain undetected until it's far too late to combat. It's a truly hateful disease. You can check out #Luftauto in action in the video up top. It crosses the block on April 10 in Los Angeles. Additional details can be found at the Luftgekuhlt website.

Man arrested for stealing part of Paul Walker Porsche wreck
Fri, 06 Dec 2013Humans are odd creatures. Some of us collect things associated with bad events, particularly when it comes to cars. Your author, for example, has the grille of his wrecked 2004 Mini Cooper S hanging on the wall. As a more extreme example, an 18-year-old Californian is in trouble with the LA police, but not for taking an item from his own car accident. Instead, he has been arrested for stealing from the wreck of the Porsche Carrera GT that killed actor Paul Walker and racer Roger Rodas.
And it wasn't a small piece, either. It was the Carrera GT's carbon-fiber roof panel. Making matters worse is word that the theft happened while the tow truck that was hauling the wrecked Porsche was sitting in traffic. According to the LA Sheriff's Department report, "A witness saw a male exit a vehicle that was following the tow truck. The male grabbed a piece of the wrecked Porsche off the tow truck bed." Besides the eyewitnesses, it didn't help that images of the roof panel were later posted on Instagram.
The man, Jameson Witty, was later arrested at his home, where police also found the roof panel. The driver of the car Witty was in when he took the roof panel, meanwhile, is planning on surrendering to the police, according to CNN. It remains unclear if the district attorney's office will charge the two, although if it does, they'll be facing felony grand theft and tampering with evidence.
Porsche 911 RSR in bizarre, terrifying rally crash
Sun, 22 Sep 2013As far as rally crashes go, this one is pretty terrifying. At this month's Hellendoorn Rally, Harry Kleinjan failed to negotiate a turn and drove his Porsche 911 RSR straight into a Jersey barrier, flipping the car into the river.
While it's unclear what caused the accident, German Car Scene notes, "We can see his brakes locking up ahead of the impact, which also ripped both driver's side wheels off, so it may be a case of ill-judged late braking, locking brakes or a jammed throttle." Us? We're betting it might have been bad pace notes. Fortunately for Harry and his co-driver, all indications are that no one was hurt. Check out the videos below to see the spectacular crash for yourself.
