1986 Porsche 944 Guards Red on 2040-cars
Portland, Oregon, United States
Porsche 944 in guards red with beige cloth interior, front seats have sheep skin covers. 120,000 original miles on the motor. This car came from my neighbors garage when they were moving a few weeks ago. It looks to have been sitting for some time, I found receipts on the passenger seat from 1999! It has no plates, though it does come with the title, which is Oregon and branded as rebuilt. I have looked the car over and it shows no signs of damage other than the passenger door looking to have been repainted and a small ding in the front quarter panel near the passenger headlight. The car looks great and is showing no rust.
When I got the car I drained the coolant and oil and replaced with new fluids, replaced the battery and gave it fresh gas. the car started just fine with a bit of smoke out of the exhaust which went away after a minute or two. Not having plates I have not been able to do much road testing, though it has been around the block a few times and the car accelerates, stops, and turns as it should. Car is a 5 speed and it gets through all the gears just fine as well as reverse. I did a compression test and all cylinders looked good reading at: 1:230Lbs. 2:220Lbs. 3:200Lbs. 4:230Lbs. The interior is fairly clean though the rear seats have a few rips in them and the fronts are covered by sheep skin. The ignition seems to have a key broken off in it so the car starts below the dash with a screwdriver, A new ignition cylinder and key is included. All of the lights work fine and the pop up headlights move up and down just fine. Neither of the windows work and i have had no time to troubleshoot this yet, though the car came with a window switch in the center console. The sunroof works just fine and is easily removed. Also included is a full motor gasket set and a new water pump as well as a timing belt. Looks as though the previous owner was going to put some work into the car. The tires have good tread and are holding air. The wheels are original Porsche "phone dials" and are in great shape. This car is new to me and I have no experience working on Porsche's and I am not that eager to learn. I really want to pass this car on to someone who is excited to have a 944. I am a BMW guy myself, I own and drive an E30 M3 daily, and feel conflicted having this other German sports car in my driveway. The car is good and would be a great project for someone, just not me right now. Like I have stated, this car has not been fully tested. It starts, runs, drives, and stops. that's about all I can tell you though, I have not had it checked by any professional mechanics or shops. All that said, car is sold AS IS where it is! buyer will coordinate and pay for any shipping I will help out with that however I can though. Thanks for looking and good luck. Feel free to contact me with any questions or to request photos. |

2015 Porsche 911 GTS starts at $114,200*
Wed, 08 Oct 2014Purists often criticize Porsche for creating products like the Cayenne, Panamera and recently launched Macan, saying they dilute the true sports car spirit of the brand. It's an argument we've heard before, and one we counter with two points. First: No they don't. And second: These are Porsche's volume superstars, and the money they rake in allows the company to create dozens of versions of its well-liked sports cars. Want proof? Have a look at the gallery above, where you'll see four new versions of the 911, all with GTS badges on their rumps. This means Porsche now offers 19 versions of the 911. Nineteen.
Porsche offered a GTS version of the 911 in its previous generation, and this new one seeks to slot somewhere between the standard car and the hardcore GT3. It's available in coupe and cabriolet forms, with either rear- or all-wheel drive, starting at $114,200, *not including $995 for destination. The GTS Cabriolet comes in at $126,100, while models equipped with AWD will set you back $120,900 or $132,800 for the coupe or convertible, respectively.
All GTS models get the 430-horsepower version of the Carrera S' 3.8-liter flat-six with the Powerkit, which also includes the Sport Chrono package and the sport exhaust. If equipped with the PDK dual-clutch transmission, the 911 GTS will hit 60 miles per hour in just 3.8 seconds (or four seconds flat, if you've got the Cabriolet) - one tenth of a second quicker than the normal Carrera S. The car's top speed varies, depending on trim or transmission, but Porsche says the car will hit anywhere from 187 to 190 mph, flat out.
German carmakers recall 630,000 diesel vehicles in Europe
Fri, Apr 22 2016Mercedes, Opel, Porsche, and Volkswagen will recall over 630,000 cars in Europe, according to reports Friday. No diesel car has been able to get under the legal emissions limit in real-world driving, according to a German government investigation. While only Volkswagen Group has been using a specific "defeat device", other carmakers have been playing with their exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) systems. Depending of the manufacturer, the systems have been cut off at a certain temperature. In a specific test cycle the systems operate to fulfill the legal requirements, but in everyday use the limits are exceeded. According to the magazine Der Spiegel, the supplier Bosch is behind this programming and has provided it to all German automakers. The mentioned carmakers have announced recalls, but many other manufacturers are also mentioned by name in the report, including Alfa Romeo, Chevrolet, Dacia, Fiat, Ford, Hyundai, Jaguar, Jeep, Land Rover, Nissan, Renault, and Suzuki. PSA Group, which produces Peugeot, Citroen, and DS cars, declared yesterday that its offices were raided following an emissions investigation.

Watch a Porsche 918 Spyder being built by hand
Sat, Jan 3 2015No music track, no dialogue, no voiceover, just a group of women and men in a very clean room in Zuffenhausen assembling the Porsche 918 Spyder. It's the antidote to the adrenaline that the open-topped hybrid coupe encourages in most enthusiast bloodstreams, but this nearly-11-minute video is the most captivating B-roll we've seen in a while. From hand-sewn leather to hand-wrapped trim, monococques being wheeled about, the copious use of shims and the rear brace being fitted over the engine, plus the Christmas-like joy of opening a box of body panels, it's all in there. You can't buy a new one anymore, but you can see how they're built for those who did buy them in the video above.
