944s usually come in one of two categories: the 0 mile $20,000 cream puff that you might see being trailered to the Concours and the 200,000 mile $3,000 used, abused and molested type you might see doing burnouts in the Taco Bell parking lot after school. This one is from that rare third category: clean, well cared for, usable and with reasonable mileage. This car has spent its entire adult-owned life garaged in Southern California and Colorado and is completely rust free. I'm selling it because I haven't enjoyed it in years anyway and recent financial issues are forcing me to pay off an old student loan- and because the license plate fees are due again and I don't want to pay them.
WHAT'S GOOD ABOUT THE CAR:
- Super clean inside and out
- 119,800 professionally maintained miles
- Unlike just about every other 944 in the world, this one has a front spoiler and fog lamps that haven't been destroyed by dips & parking blocks
- Fresh ignition system tune up
- Passed strict Southern California emissions test with flying colors in 2007 and has barely been driven since
- Over 50% remaining on all brake linings
- Stationary race style headlamp fixtures, the factory pop-up lamps are included but will require touch up and installation (see photos)
- Battery is less than 1 year old and hasn't even been hooked up yet
- Tires only have about 100 burnout free miles on them
- 1985 1/2 designation makes it a 1985 model year with the 1986-1993 interior features, dashboard and gauges
- Rare factory option "Sport" front power seats with large side bolsters, like 911 Carrera models. The front seats have a fresh upholstery job
- Professionally installed short shift kit
- High power stereo system with hidden amplifier and brand new Blaupunkt CD deck with remote and Ipod port neatly hidden in center console
- Removable/ tiltable power roof panel
- Very dark professional window tint
- Power windows
- Power mirrors
- Power sunroof/ removable roof
- Still has that new Porsche smell, believe it or not
- Factory cruise control that still works just fine
- Factory alarm option (key is missing)
- 15" "Phone Dial" wheels with locks/ key
- Hood and hatch struts still actually work
- Very tight suspension and excellent handling
- Original, unused spare tire, compressor and tools included
- Comes with clean, clear title, original headlamps/hardware, Hayne's manual, owner's manual packet in near mint condition and even an expensive official Porsche factory service manual on CD ROM
- Paint is still very glossy and is about an 8.5/10 (dusty in photos)
- Interior condition is a 9/10
WHAT'S NOT GOOD ABOUT THE CAR:
- There is a 3" dent in the nose panel, not real deep or noticeable, but it drove me crazy. I was going to replace the panel with a new vented panel. See photos
- The sunroof is totally functional, but the switch is stubborn sometimes
- I would recommend replacement of fluids, they've got less than 100 miles of use, but haven't been changed in about 5 years
- The fuse/relay block got water intrusion at some point before I owned it and sometimes needs a good whack- usually not an issue, new blocks are available
- The transmission input center bearing makes noise when cruising without load. Its not an immediate problem, but will require replacement in the near future- a common 944 issue
- Factory A/C needs R134 retrofit to be practical and usable
- Glove box catch and light fixture are missing
- Hood latch needs alignment
NOTE: in the close up photo of the right rear corner, it looks like a white wishbone shaped scuff near the side marker, but its actually only the reflection of a white step stool in the garage.
That's about as thorough a description as I can come up with. Its not 100% perfect, but a very nice old Porsche at a reasonable price and the things it could use are relatively minor. I'm hoping to sell the car to a fellow experienced antique sports car enthusiast or collector who knows what it is, why it deserves respect, how to treat it and how to take care of it. Please, if you're not completely clear as to what it takes to properly care for a 30 year old Porsche, this probably isn't the car for you.

The latest episode of Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee features Seth Meyers of Saturday Night Live fame riding shotgun in what is a very special Porsche from host Jerry Seinfeld's collection: a 1973 911 Carrera RS 2.7. Seinfeld chose the "no-nonsense" sports car because he thought it fit his guest's personality (Meyers thinks motorcycles "are like the cigarette of transportation"), but we enjoy the chance to see one of these rare, über-valuable Porsches being driven on city streets - and in the rain, no less! What we don't like seeing is the Carrera RS being parallel parked behind a pick-up truck, though, fortunately, it seems that Seinfeld was able to avoid any front-end damage to the comparatively fragile Porsche.
Once at the coffee shop, the two comedians have a candid conversation about Meyers' time with SNL, from his early days on the show when he didn't think he was good enough to be a cast member to some of the high points in his career, such as SNL's "Really!?" segment that he performed in and how he became a writer for the show.
After coffee, when they're back in the car and Seinfeld opens up the throttle of the lightweight RS 2.7, he manages to eke out a big grin from Meyers - or maybe it was a grimace at the thought of driving in the rain on old tires. Whatever the case, be sure to watch the video below (and stay tuned until the end for a surprise).

The 82nd running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans is on.
Audi has won 12 of the last 15 events, the scion of Auto Union is trying to make it 13 this year. To do so, it will have to overcome a situation faced only three other times during its dominance of La Sarthe: underdog status. Toyota has won the first two races of the year and claimed pole for this race, the rumor being that this year it's Toyota's race to lose.
And then there's Porsche. It's been 16 years since the Stuttgart brand raced on the top rung at Le Mans, three years years since it announced its return, just a year since it acquired Mark Webber in a signing that wasn't subtle and a few months since we got eyes on the 919 Hybrid.
