1990 Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet 2-door 3.0l - 33k Original Miles, Meticulous Owner on 2040-cars
Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, United States
I am a private owner who has taken exceptional care of this vehicle from the moment that I purchased it ten years ago from the original Porsche dealer who sold it new.
This dealer was very familiar with the family who ordered it, they remembered the dealer trade that they made to acquire it, had recently reacquired it through a trade on a new Porsche, and then proceeded to print out the entire maintenance history before I agreed to purchase it. I have owned it ever since. This Alpine white on dark blue cabriolet has only 33,005
miles on the odometer from new and is all original. It has never been
hit, always garaged, never seen rain, and has only been serviced since new by
Porsche dealers (two). All records are available. This 944 drives as new and requires nothing mechanically. Those who are familiar with this rare model will know that there were less than 2000 exported to the U.S. and, I believe that they are ready to appreciate in value. Some of the the attached pictures were taken just before storage for the winter and others were taken earlier today. I took the car for a spin on the first nice day of spring, reluctantly turned it over 33,000 miles and returned it to my garage. I have driven it a grand total of 4,725 miles in ten years, and that includes driving it back from the dealership in Minnesota after purchase (1,056 miles). I am not a dealer and have never sold anything on Ebay previous to this. I am willing to provide every detail, warts and all. The fabric top is wearing out on both sides (see photo) but the electric mechanism operates perfectly. If I reconsider and decide to keep it, I will replace the top this year. The radio stopped working and the A/C is not blowing cold air. The passenger window mechanism works but has gotten clunky. There is a small chip in the windshield which is below the wiper line (was there before I owned it) and a tiny ding in the left rear quarter which can only be seen at the perfect angle. The belts were replaced at 26,880 miles and the tires have lots of tread but are not new. Oh, and one of the windshield washer sprayers seems to be clogged. Can't think of another thing. This 944 is inspected every year by Porsche mechanics at a Porsche dealer. I have all manuals, all the keys, tool kit, air pump, gloves and tire bag, custom car cover, original showroom brochure, and the original window sticker ($50,840 in 1990!). The last time, I had it in for an inspection, a guy followed me out of the dealership and asked, "If you ever want to sell it"...of course, I didn't at that time. I have seen several cars similar to this one advertised on the web by dealers over the years - not sure about all of those. I am sure about this one. Of course, it needs some little adjustments to restore to perfection, but you will not be disappointed. This is the second 944 cab that I have owned. I think the "chopped top" makes it one of the best looking convertibles with the top up that has ever been built. For fun, I included a picture of an ad for the 2009 Hershey PCA Swap Meet (no affiliation) which appeared in Excellence magazine which happened to randomly "highlight" my car (the 944 in the foreground). I live near Hershey, PA. The car looked good enough to photograph then and is unchanged today. Thank you for considering it for purchase. |

Preparing for Le Mans 2014 Porsche remembers 1971 and the 917 [w/video]
Sun, 07 Apr 2013Porsche has given us another look back at its successes at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. This time it's 1971, the year that its 917 set records that haven't all been eclipsed. It's 45-kilogram magnesium tube frame was the lightest, Jackie Oliver set the fastest in-race lap with a time that still stands, and winning drivers Helmut Marko - the same Helmut Marko currently with Infiniti Red Bull Racing - and Gilles Lethem did so many laps that their distance wasn't exceeded until the Audi R15 TDI did it in 2010.
1971 was also the year of the "Pink Pig." With bodywork created by a French aerodynamics firm, the wider, rounder 917 earned the porcine moniker so Porsche painted it pink and labeled it with the cuts you'd get from a pig. Sponsor Martini was so miffed they demanded all Martini branding be removed. No one can remove the thousands of photographs taken of the car ever since. Enjoy that and more in the video below.

Porsche kicks off Macan production at revamped Leipzig plant
Sun, 16 Feb 2014After over two years of construction and roughly 500 million euros ($684 million at current rates) invested, Porsche finally opened its Leipzig, Germany, factory expansion on February 11. The improvements to the plant are dedicated to building the Macan and include a new body shop, paint shop and assembly line that are advancing Porsche's goal to sell 50,000 Macan's per year. The company believes that the new model is going to push it to over 200,000 annual sales 3 years ahead of schedule, and the enlarged branch can support even more Macan production, if there is demand.
"We are totally convinced in the qualities of this location and that the Macan will be a marketing success," said Porsche Chairman Matthias Müller during the opening celebration. The company opened its Leipzig factory in 2002 to build the Cayenne and added Panamera production in 2009.
The Macan models are due to launch in the US this summer with prices starting at $49,900. Scroll down to learn all of the details about the Macan's Leipzig assembly plant.
