A classic car with exceptional performance. In 1985, Car and Driver rated the Porsche 944 best handling car on the road. Over 25 years later, the 944 continues to provide drivers with an exceptional driving experience, whether it be on the track or street--and you'll see why.

Option codes: This Porsche car is a 1985/1 model year with the sports package, which meant better shocks, struts, and it has the optional limited slip differential as well.

It has upgraded front brakes (cross-drilled rotors), and even the power removable roof works. I upgraded the car with new Sachs spring-centered clutch plate, new pressure plate, new slave cylinder, new pilot bearing, new clutch release bearings, new throwout bearing, new stretch bolts....more parts than I recall. New Dunlop Sport A2 rear tires around 1500 miles ago, and shocks and struts upgraded to KYB high-pressure shocks. Ignition wires upgraded to Bosch premium wires 400 miles ago.

Cosmetically, the car looks great but has normal wear and tear for a 1985. It is eyecatching, but you should expect some rock chips, scratches and cracking, and tiny rust spots in the finish on an antique car. And yes, it qualifies for antique plates in VA. It even has the original leather seats (with normal wear), which makes it a hit with Porsche purists at shows.

I ran a Carfax and found no surprises.  Please note that the mileage indicates 28k miles because the odometers in these cars restart after 99k miles.  With that said, the engines are phenomenally well built (look up Alusil cylinder bores) and I expect it to provide driving fun for a long time. Auction includes the CD stereo, which works but isn't currently hooked up. The handle is bent on the parking brake, which makes it sticky--they aren't expensive on the internet and I'd replace it if I kept it.

Mechanically, the engine and drivetrain are in great shape, and I'd drive this car across the country. Battery was replaced on 6/12 with an Autocraft Silver so it's still in warranty.  

Clear title, no liens, ready for cash sale.

The car is much more satisfying to drive than any other car I've driven, but this is your chance to own a classic for a bargain price!  Take a look at the pictures, and happy bidding!  

0 feedback buyers must contact me prior to bidding.  A $500 deposit due within 48 hrs of winning an auction, remainder when you pickup the car. I reserve the right to end this auction early for local sale.

Driving the Panamera and Mike's Rant | Autoblog Podcast #487

Thu, Sep 8 2016

This week we cover some recent news like the upcoming Land Rover Discovery, updates to FCA's large car platform (including the Challenger), and talk about water injection. Then we go into what we've been driving - David just finished his time in the Porsche Panamera Turbo and Mike tried the GMC Acadia. And then Mike (who is still uncomfortable writing in the third person) goes on a rant about why automakers shouldn't specify which cars are aimed at women. The rundown is below.

Porsche Cayman GTS in track battle with 996 GT3

Wed, 09 Jul 2014

Here's your tough question of the day: Would you rather drive a new Porsche Cayman GTS or a slightly older, 996-era Porsche 911 GT3? Certainly, both cars have their plusses. The Cayman is the more modern proposition, sure, but the GT3 is, well, a GT3. So yes, it's a tough decision.
If you're one of the lucky souls that have to make that choice, then this video from Evo should prove pretty helpful. It's a track battle, starring Jethro Bovingdon with a new GTS and an old GT3.
Calling the GTS "fantastically agile" and "fast, but it's also hilariously good fun," Bovingdon bangs home a solid lap time of 1:05.2 before switching to the GT3. It's remarkable to see just how dated the 996-generation 911 looks after viewing the newer Porsche, and from where we sit, it's further proof that the old car's headlights are something that's best forgotten. Styling qualms aside, though, can the GT3 keep up with its racy younger cousin?

2014 Porsche Panamera Turbo S is a 911 Turbo for the family man

Thu, 21 Nov 2013

In the event that the Porsche Panamera Turbo's 520 horsepower and 189-mile-per-hour top speed aren't enough to sate the appetite of the speed freak, Porsche has just given the auto show debut to the faster, more powerful Panamera Turbo S.
With 570 horsepower being pumped from a 4.8-liter, twin-turbocharged V8, the Panamera Turbo S promises even faster acceleration, hitting 60 mph in 3.6 seconds, a 0.3-second improvement over the standard Turbo. The top speed, meanwhile, climbs to 192 mph, which is kind of ridiculous for a car with four doors and a trunk.
Other enhancements that come with this Panamera's extra syllable include carbon-ceramic brakes and the entirety of Porsche's active chassis systems, including Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control and Porsche Active Suspension Management. The performance goodies come standard, but that doesn't mean the Panamera Turbo S is cheap.
