Porsche 944 in guards red with beige cloth interior, front seats have sheep skin covers. 120,000 original miles on the motor. This car came from my neighbors garage when they were moving a few weeks ago. It looks to have been sitting for some time, I found receipts on the passenger seat from 1999! It has no plates, though it does come with the title, which is Oregon and branded as rebuilt. I have looked the car over and it shows no signs of damage other than the passenger door looking to have been repainted and a small ding in the front quarter panel near the passenger headlight. The car looks great and is showing no rust.

 When I got the car I drained the coolant and oil and replaced with new fluids, replaced the battery and gave it fresh gas. the car started just fine with a bit of smoke out of the exhaust which went away after a minute or two. Not having plates I have not been able to do much road testing, though it has been around the block a few times and the car accelerates, stops, and turns as it should. Car is a 5 speed and it gets through all the gears just fine as well as reverse. I did a compression test and all cylinders looked good reading at: 1:230Lbs. 2:220Lbs. 3:200Lbs. 4:230Lbs.

The interior is fairly clean though the rear seats have a few rips in them and the fronts are covered by sheep skin. The ignition seems to have a key broken off in it so the car starts below the dash with a screwdriver, A new ignition cylinder and key is included. All of the lights work fine and the pop up headlights move up and down just fine. Neither of the windows work and i have had no time to troubleshoot this yet, though the car came with a window switch in the center console. The sunroof works just fine and is easily removed. Also included is a full motor gasket set and a new water pump as well as a timing belt. Looks as though the previous owner was going to put some work into the car. The tires have good tread and are holding air. The wheels are original Porsche "phone dials" and are in great shape.

This car is new to me and I have no experience working on Porsche's and I am not that eager to learn. I really want to pass this car on to someone who is excited to have a 944. I am a BMW guy myself, I own and drive an E30 M3 daily, and feel conflicted having this other German sports car in my driveway. The car is good and would be a great project for someone, just not me right now. 

Like I have stated, this car has not been fully tested. It starts, runs, drives, and stops. that's about all I can tell you though, I have not had it checked by any professional mechanics or shops. All that said, car is sold AS IS where it is! buyer will coordinate and pay for any shipping I will help out with that however I can though. Thanks for looking and good luck. Feel free to contact me with any questions or to request photos.

Porsche Cayman gets a new face

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

We've already seen photos of the facelifted Porsche Boxster out testing, but we're now seeing these same changes making their way onto the hardtop Cayman coupe. Cosmetically, the next round of Porsche's smallest sports cars isn't vastly different, with redesigned headlamps, LED running lights (like its big brother, the 911), and new taillamps that actually aren't visible on the prototype seen here.
The big news for the updated Boxster/Cayman range is the long-rumored four-cylinder engine. Recent reports suggest we could see four-pots with displacements of 1.6, 2.0, or 2.5 liters, and with output ratings as high as 360 horsepower. Of course, these new four-cylinder mills would be both turbocharged and direct-injected.
It's unclear whether or not the six-cylinder engine range will also be updated when this new Cayman comes to market. In any case, we expect to see it bow in the relatively near future. Stay tuned.

Porsche 918 Spyder configurator goes live

Fri, 13 Sep 2013

That didn't take long. The debut model of the new Porsche 918 Spyder is still thronged by onlookers at the Frankfurt Motor Show, while the German sports car maker is hard at work putting the first version of the supercar's configuration page online. Considering Porsche configurators are some of our favorite time-wasters of the genre, we expect car-guy productivity to drop by a few percentage points over the rest of the day.
So, the 918 dream-maker doesn't list and prices as yet, and that's too bad. But considering the car is due to start off at $845,000 in the US, chances are good that unless you're reading this from the shallow end of your Uncle Scrooge-spec money pool, the cost of any part of the 918 is academic to you anyway.
To start, Porsche is offering twelve paint colors, three wheel choices and seven two-tone interior treatments. Standard lightweight bucket seats and a set of chairs with "firmer padding" are on offer, too. The options list is mostly populated with interior bits, though many - an anti-reflection interior, fire extinguisher, six-point seatbelts - are racing-oriented or functional. Note that Porsche is also kind enough to offer just one cupholder as an optional extra; the unit is made of aluminum and is detachable so that you won't have to carry the extra weight during racing. Also, Porsche probably puts you on some kind of naughty 'list' if you order one...

Super Bowl LVII car commercial roundup: Watch them all here

Mon, Feb 13 2023

Fewer automakers than usual spent money advertising during Super Bowl LVII. In total, there were only five traditional ad spots from three big OEMs. A number of car-adjacent ads aired during the Big Game, too, and we’ll bring you those ads in this roundup alongside the more obvious ones. WeÂ’ve compiled all of the automotive-related commercials for you here in this post so you donÂ’t have to go searching for them elsewhere. Read on below to see what aired as the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Philadelphia Eagles. Ram's Super Bowl spot offers a cure for 'Premature Electrification' This commercial revealed the new electric Ram Rev pickup, and itÂ’s themed like a prescription ad for an antidote to "Premature Electrification.” A concerned narrator in the Ram spot asks if you're afraid that going electric too soon will mean "you might not be able to last as long as you like," and there's a guy on a pier who's going to need some new equipment if he wants to catch fish. We're also told there are "options being designed to extend range in satisfying ways," so if this truck isn't right for you, you have choices. All the commercial's missing is a silly medical marketing name and six seconds of speed-reading gibberish about side effects like intestinal bleeding and death. Which are two more good things. Jeep 4xe Super Bowl commercial highlights modern version of 'Electric Boogie' JeepÂ’s “Electric Boogie” commercial follows the Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe in a variety of simulated off-road situations. Though fun, the soundtrack is the real star of the show. The songÂ’s original artist, Marcia Griffiths, was joined by Grammy winner Shaggy, Jamila Falak, Amber Lee, and Moyann on the track. The modernized re-recording celebrates 40 years since GriffithsÂ’ original track, and Jeep says the track is available for streaming now. Kia returns to the Super Bowl with the tale of 'Binky Dad' This year, Kia follows the adventure of "Binky Dad" in his quest to fetch his daughter's lost pacifier, which naturally takes him over just about every bit of terrain you might encounter upon leaving the civilized confines of Southern California for the not-so-civilized mountains of ... probably also California. It features the refreshed 2023 Kia Telluride, which probably doesnÂ’t need much advertising to see these days, but Kia went for it with the strong three-row SUV anyway.
