1987 PORSCHE 944 S
This car is in good condition. No leaks, it is clean in the engine compartment and there is never any leaks or traces of fluids underneath the vehicle where it is parked.  Clean straight body.  There are a few minor dings, but the body is straight and free of rust.  All lights are in good working order, as well as the horn.  There is an upgraded cassette player and stereo installed.  This car has been in the dry desert of Nevada most of its life, so it is not rusty.  Unknown miles. The odometer stopped working at 74k. I do not know for sure, but I think the engine was recently rebuilt. The reason I say this is because the oil is still clean 1000 miles after an oil change, and the person that I bought the car from said that the previous owner went in and re-did everything. (SEE PHOTOS). No power steering.  The power steering is disconnected because one of the pressure hoses has a leak, and I have not bought a new one to put on yet.  The power steering pump and everything works good, but it needs a new pressure hose.  I bought the car a couple months back, it was running rough, but I tuned it up and now it runs good. I have been driving it back and forth to work and it has been running great. 


Here is a link to a video of the car going 0-60 mph (it takes it about 8 or 9 seconds, but that is at 5,000 feet of elevation and I had to turn the car onto the highway before I could gas it).  I do not hot rod this car around, but I felt it was necessary to red line it to show the potential buyers that it runs good.

Here is a link to a video of a walk around of the car.  I also started the car from the passenger side, this shows that the car starts up really good.  You don't have to give the car gas or anything like that, it just fires right up.  All of the computer and fuel injection components are in good working order.

Here is a video of the vehicle being started.  It shows that the car starts up with ease.  I also wanted to show that the oil pressure gauge does not work.  As well the voltmeter gauge, sometimes does not work, it will just peg out, like it is in the video, but usually the gauge works good.  I also wanted to show how well the throttle response on this car is.  Listen to the engine purr and how it snaps up to high RPM with just a flick of the peddle.  She can be yours if your the highest bidder :)



Here is a list of new parts that I installed, in order to tune the car up:
New Fuel Filter
New Fuel Pump
New Distributor Cap
New Spark Plugs

I also recently installed the following:
New tires (Only about 1,000 miles on the new tires).
New inner and outer front wheel bearings and seals.
Brakes, rotors and calipers were checked when installing the wheel bearings.  The brake pads still have a lot of life left in them, they have about 70 percent left in them.


This car is fun to drive.  It is a good reliable vehicle, but I am buying a house and I need the money.

I am willing to drive this car up to 200 miles for the cost of gas and a plane ticket home.  I am also willing to help in any way possible to ship the vehicle.  I can deliver it wherever it needs to be delivered in order to get it shipped to you.

Here is what still needs to be fixed:
Drivers seat leather is torn and needs to be re upholstered or needs a seat cover.
The dash has a few cracks in it and could use a cover.
The rear hatch will not stay up on its own and can not be opened using the key.
The oil pressure gauge and odometer do not work.
The stick shift is loose in all gears (will wiggle back and forth).  The car stays in gear just fine and is smooth through the gears.  I think it just needs some new bushings where the linkage connects the stick shift to the transmission.
AC does not work.
The clear coat near the drivers side door is starting to peel and crack a little.
Passenger window does not work, and the passenger door only opens from the inside.
Small crack on passenger side windshield (SEE PHOTOS)
The carpets could use a nice steam cleaning.

I have done my best to list any defects with the vehicle because I am an honest and up front seller.  All and all this is a very nice car.  


Only 3,312 of these cars were imported to the US in 1987, and only 5224 were made. A very rare car, it could use some touch up on the interior, but overall its in very nice shape.

Clean and Clear Title In Hand.  Looking at the car fax vehicle report, it shows that there was only 1 minor, non collision accident with the vehicle.  It also shows that the car passed a smog check just a few years ago.  The car was repossessed from the original owner 11 years ago, and then auctioned off.  There was a lean on the car several years back, however there is NOT a lien on the car now.  I have the clean clear title in hand, and I am ready to sign it over to the highest bidder.  

Please feel free to ask any questions.  I am more then willing to help with shipping, or getting the vehicle to you.  I can drive to the Reno, NV airport and pick you up in the car, then you can drive it home.  I can also help deliver the vehicle to a shipping hub, or if you are nearby I can drive the vehicle to you for the cost of gas and a ride home.  There is no doubt in my mind that this beautiful Porsche 944 would have no trouble making a cross country trip to its new home!  Good Luck and Happy Bidding :)

Here is some info on the car:

For the 1987 model year, the 944S "Super" was introduced. The 944S featured a high performance normally aspirated, dual-overhead-cam 16-valve 192 PS (141 kW; 189 hp) version of the 2.5 litre engine (M44/40) featuring an self-adjusting timing belt tensioner. This marked the first use of four-valve-per-cylinder heads and DOHC in the 944 series, derived from the 928S4 featuring a redesigned camshaft drive, a magnesium intake tract/passages, magnesium valve cover, larger capacity oil sump and revised exhaust system. The alternator capacity was 115 amps. The wheel bearings were also strengthened and the brake servo action was made more powerful. Floating 944 calipers were standard, but the rear wheel brake circuit pressure regulator from the 944 turbo was used. Discrete '16 Ventlier' script badges were added on the sides in front of the body protection mouldings. Performance was quoted as 0 -- 100 km/h (62 mph) in 6.5 seconds and a 232 km/h (144 mph) top speed. It also featured an improved programmed Bosch Digital Motronic 2 Computer/DME with dual knock sensors for improved fuel performance for the higher 10.9:1 compression ratio cylinder head. Like the 944 Turbo, the 944S received progressive springs for greater handling, revised transmission and gearing to better suit the 2.5-litre DOHC higher 6800 rpm rev limit. A Club Sport touring package (M637) was available. Dual air bags, limited-slip differential and ABS were optional on the 944S as was the lightweight 16 inch CS/Sport Fuch forged alloy wheels. This car was raced in Canada, Europe and in the USA IMSA Firehawk Cup Series. Production was limited to two years; 1987 and 1988 only. It was superseded in 1989 by the 'S2' 944 edition.

Porsche offers design walkthrough of Panamera Sport Turismo

Thu, 03 Jan 2013

The Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo was arguably the best concept car of 2012, and Porsche has been building upon that momentum by teasing us with videos of its first-ever station wagon design. After showing us some driving shots of the Sport Turismo, Porsche released a more in-depth and behind-the-scenes look at what it took to take the Panamera shooting brake from a full-scale clay model to the final product we saw on stage at the Paris Motor Show. In the video, Michael Mauer, Porsche style director, and Mitja Borkert, general manager advanced design style, both give a little insight about what went into creating the Sport Turismo Concept.
More than just a station wagon version of the Panamera, the Sport Turismo has a totally distinctive look nose to tail. Some of the key elements the designers touch on in the video include the Porsche-signature raised front fenders, the wide rear shoulders, the front wing inspired by the 918 Spyder, and even some of the car's unique touches, including the headlights and the three-dimensional "Porsche" lettering across the liftgate made from glass. One of the more exciting aspects of the concept - which is sadly just glossed over in the video - is the rear liftgate spoiler that features "variable aerodynamics" that sounds like it acts similar to the retractable spoiler on the current Panamera.
We still don't know if the Panamera Sport Turismo will make it into production, but if you want to see what went into creating this exciting concept car and see the different build phases designers went through to create the Paris show car, check out the video by scrolling below.

2014 Porsche Cayman S

Thu, 29 Aug 2013

Second Fiddle Moves To First Chair
In the interest of full disclosure and a bit of bloodletting, allow me to admit that while I've always coveted the Porsche Boxster and its hard-hatted Cayman cousin, I've never really warmed to them visually. They've always had a certain push-me, pull-you, can't-decide-which-way-they're-going aesthetic that I've never really wrapped my head around. Porsche achieved the same thing with the original 550 Spyder's overturned bathtub bodyshell that would come to inspire the Boxster, but somehow that classic's even more symmetrical nature works for me. Fast-forward to this third generation, and at least for this enthusiast, Porsche's manchild has well and truly come of age as a design.
It's all there - a piercing stare thanks to squircle headlamps inspired by the 918 Spyder hypercar, newfound directional thrust afforded by a longer wheelbase and elongated greenhouse, and muscular rear haunches with a wider stance emphasized by larger side ductwork and snubbed overhangs. The body's teardrop shape terminates with an active spoiler that integrates into a gorgeous arc with the taillamps like a budding ducktail nod to 1973 911 Carrera RS. Despite casting a longer shadow than its predecessor, the 2014 Cayman still looks tidily proportioned, smooth and wieldy, the perfect skipping stone to ricochet down a canyon river road.

2015 Porsche Boxster GTS [w/video]

Thu, 22 May 2014

You know the sound: the startling pop-brraaap-pop-pop shotgun fire of unspent flammables coursing through exhaust pipes that usually signals a raw, naughty powerplant beneath the hood.
But when you're nestled in the Porsche Boxster GTS' snug seats, it's not a crackling small block V8 or a high-strung Italian flat crank making the devilish racket, but rather the new king of the Boxster/Cayman lineup, a 3.4-liter flat-six that produces 330 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque.
Within the emotional vacuum of a spec sheet, the Boxster GTS' pumped-up grunt seems pretty mild, with a gain of only 15 hp and 7 lb-ft, respectively. But the reworked acoustical experience goes a long way towards suggesting the GTS has a trace of racing blood in its veins, and might even be missing its catalytic converters. In addition to the sonorous, centrally positioned tailpipes, the cabin also fills with lovely mechanical strains thanks to the "Sound Symposer" acoustical amplifier that's trickled down into the Boxster/Cayman lineup from the 911 for the first time. Boxster S, we hardly knew ya.
