1986 Porsche 944 Turbo In Red on 2040-cars
Waterloo, Illinois, United States
|
For sale: Porsche 944 Turbo in Red. I bought this car off of Ebay a year and a half ago and it has been outstanding. I replaced the clutch slave cylinder and the alternator up to this point. I have a box of parts I have nabbed off of Ebay when I found good deals so there are hoses, brake pads, fuel filter and other bits and pieces that I just haven’t had time to install. Selling it because I just don’t drive it as much as it deserves, and I have 3 other vehicles to maintain. As you can see in the pics, there are two minor dents, the driver seat needs to be re-covered. The paint looks great from 20 feet but there is some fading in areas. The steering rack leaks, but I did find that. There is a plastic cap that goes in the bottom that popped out and needs to be replaced. Mostly minor TLC that I haven’t got around to. The only major thing I can think of at this point is the Timing/Balance belts, I am not sure of the exact mileage on them but I have put about 10k on the car so that at least gives you an idea. Any questions, please ask. No warranty is offered or implied, car is sold as is. Thanks for looking! Adding in a few things I have been asked about: The tires are W rated Indy 500 Ovals with about 75% tread life, it has the original paint so there is some sun fading and clearcoat loss on the front bumper (see picture). Also the body is rust free and solid.

Malaise Era All-Stars
Fri, 17 May 2013A few weeks ago, we bid a fond happy 40th anniversary to the automotive dark ages of 1973-84 that have come to be known as "The Malaise Era" - the performance ice-age when 160 horsepower was a lot and a 0-60 time of under 10 seconds was remarkable. Like music in the 1980s, everything in automobiledom didn't suck, however. There were a few bright spots. Here are five of our favorites:

Meet the main man behind the 2014 Porsche 911 GT3
Fri, 30 Aug 2013We have yet to catch our breath from our first drive of the 2014 Porsche 911 GT3, but if you're still not sold on the fact that this track-ready 911 is only offered with a PDK transmission, then you should take it up with Andreas Preuninger. Preuninger is the guy who led the team responsible for the latest GT3. Porsche has released a video giving a little backstory of what went into the development of the car, which had as its goal the creation of a pure, rewarding 911 driving experience.
The video captures the sights and sounds of the GT3 perfectly. Perhaps the best part is listening to Preuninger describe one of the defining moments that resulted in replacing the GT3's manual gearbox with the PDK. We don't want to ruin the video for you, so scroll down to check it out for yourself.
Ferrari return to Le Mans looking more likely?
Wed, 18 Dec 2013Statements made by Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo may indicate that the Italian brand could return to a form of racing it's been absent from for 40 years - prototype racing. That's right, LMP1 could see a factory Ferrari team for the first time since 1973, if a report from ESPN F1 is to be believed.
"We have won with the 458 GTE, but I also quite like the idea of racing at Le Mans in the highest category: who knows, maybe one day we can return and win, say thanks and come home," Montezemolo said. "Maybe we should give it some consideration..."
These seemingly idle, off-hand comments might not hold much water, were rumors about Ferrari's return to prototype racing not swirling as recently as August. There's also the fact that the upcoming, 1.6-liter, turbocharged V6 being used for Formula One complies with the Automobile Club de l'Ouest's own LMP1 regulations, according to ESPN. Finally, Ferrari returning to Le Mans might also explain this video of a camouflaged Ferrari LaFerrari testing a new turbocharged engine, which we showed you a few weeks back. There's a fair chance that what we're actually seeing in that video are the early stages of a new Ferrari prototype testing.
