Thanks for taking a look at our latest Porsche race car. This car is an accident free 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo. It has been profesionally converted from a street car to a dedicated track day car. This car was never PCA club raced, but was used for my wife and I to enjoy some together time at the track with our local Porsche Club. 3 children later, we are not using it enough and I've finally realized the track will have to wait till my kids can drive with me. We have spared no expense in preparing and maintaining this car. The motor was professionally rebuilt a few thousand miles ago by Billl Dougherty of Dougherty Automotive in West Chester, PA. It is said to be the last engine hand built by Bill himself. He's still very much in the business, but has a competent crew trained working for him these days. In any case, this engine is revered as one of the most bulletproof examples of a 944 turbo engine. It has never overheated, broken down in any way or even given a hint of trouble. My wife and I have enjoyed the car's amazing smoothness, its balance on the track and the ease with which you can push this car without the spin danger of a rear engine or mid engine Porsche. This car has several modifications, all to make the car either safer, more durable or lighter. The Turbo has never been turned up to put out more boost. We are firm believers that speed at the track is done through smooothness and understanding vehicle dynamics. We've done the stint with a 3.6 Turbo and other more powerful cars, only to conclude that this car is very fast and smooth when driven well.
Upgrades include racing seats, roll cage, fiberglass sunroof panel, fiberglass hood, retractable headlights removed, interior gutted, upgraded brakes, forged engine components, upgraded suspension, etc. It has 86,000 original miles on it with about 3,000 miles on the engine build. The car runs on 93 octane and never skips a beat. It had a clutch slave cylinder done this year and needs nothing but a willing driver.
Call Dave with questions and potential trades of interest. The car comes with a clear title and can be driven home if you wish.
At our dealership we work very hard to accurately describe our vehicles through text descriptions and elaborate photos. When you purchase a pre-owned vehicle it is not a new vehicle. Any used vehicle can have normal wear and blemishes. Before placing a bid please read the descriptions thoroughly and view all of the pictures. We encourage you to contact us directly and welcome a pre-purchase inspection. Please contact our team directly for more details.
We are located at 1281 King Road, Suite 400 in West Chester, Pennsylvania 19380. West Chester is a suburb of Philadelphia, PA and is located about 30 minutes from the Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) Our building is at the intersection of King Road and Phoenixville Pike. Please call us for directions or with any questions you may have. We look forward to your visit and would love to hear from you when you are coming so we may set a representative's time aside for your visit. That said, walk in's are always welcome as well.
Transfer of Title and Risk
We insure the vehicles on our lot during the time we have them available for sale. Upon completion of the financial elements of the transaction (you paying us), we encourage you to insure the vehicle from that date forward. We bear NO RESPONSIBILITY for anything that happens to your vehicle once it is out of our control. Vehicles left at our facility for more than 3 days after payment will not be covered by our insurance unless previous arrangements have been made in writing prior to payment.
Balance of Factory Warranty
We estimate factory warranty expiration dates using vehicle production dates and Carfax information. We are not responsible for factory warranty expiration dates, remaining warranty time, type, validity, or other information. If you want to be certain of the exact warranty expiration date, terms, validity, etc., please verify this information with a certified franchise dealer of the applicable car make. In the course of business, we try to match our risk with areas where we have control over our service level. We hope you understand this.
We work with several shipping companies and are quite pleased to assist you in getting quotes and arranging pickup of the vehicle. That said, any shipping contract is between you and the shipping company selected. Car Connections USA, Inc and its employees, directors and managers bear no resposibility for delays in shipping, damage to or loss of the vehicle once it is in the shippers control or any other liability related to the shipment of your vehicle. When the shipper picks the vehicle up at our facility, we will review the condition of the vehicle with the driver and will sign a Bill of Lading describing any deficiencies or cosmetic blemishes noted during our walkaround. Many shippers try to protect their liability by marking the Bill of Lading as though the car has hundreds of imperfections. We will not allow this to happen. We encourage you to examine the vehicle closely upon its arrival and to take up any concerns about damage or cosmetic imperfections at the time of arrival BEFORE SIGNING THE BILL OF LADING. Once you sign the Bill of Lading, the shipper is realeased from liability and you are on your own. Should you find surprise damage and see that it is on the Bill of Lading, please contact us promptly and email us the Bill of Lading. We will compare it to our copy and notify you of any discrepancies. Some shippers damage a vehicle and simply document the damage on the Bill of Lading as though it existed at the time they picked it up. We describe our vehicles and find it VERY unlikely that you would find a surprise upon arrival.
Car Connections USA, Inc was founded in 2005 by Dave Coughlin. Car Connections USA, Inc was founded in an effort to fix much of what we believe is wrong with the car industry. Dave graduated from the Wharton School of Business at The University of Pennsylvania in 1996. After graduation, Dave spent 6 years working in Public Accounting and Consulting for PricewaterhouseCoopers,LLP.
During my tenure at PwC, people would often ask me to help them find, buy or sell cars. It frustrated me to no end to have only limited ability to help people negotiate. Frankly, I was disgusted by the lack of knowledge and professionalism in the automobile industry. In 2002, I resigned my position with PwC to chase my dream in the automobile industry. I committed all of my resources to building an automobile business based upon knowledge, integrity and value.
