1987 944 Porsche. Great condition considering the age, Alpine stereo that works with an iPhone/iPod and remote. Excellent gas mileage (about 29 mpg highway) car drives well and really strong motor. AC blows cold air, and works great. 5 speed manual transmission, shifts smooth.
I own and insure 7 vehicles and that's more cars than I need. Several need to go, including this one. I've driven it less than 600 miles this year including a drive to Myrtle Beach. The odometer broke at approximately 127,000 miles, but it's been well maintained and is probably less than 140,000 actual miles. The previous owner spent more than $4000 upgrading the car, new hoses, sensors, electronics, also, the power sun roof has a mechanism to disconnect it and remove it, place it in the hatch and enjoy the sun. The power Windows have Heavy Tint, sides and Hatch, great job controlling the temperature but each state may vary with what level of tint is acceptable and what is not approved.
The dash has a cap on it but it is coming up in several places and it would be best to have someone glue it back down. The cap is still in good shape, just needs to be glued down again.
Seats have signs of wear meaning the seat upholstery has separated at the seams in several places, nothing coming apart and rides comfortably but not as attractive as it once was. The electronic aspect of the seats works fine. The alarm system that was standard on this car was not working when I purchased it several years ago and I do not have the second key for that system.
All WearGuard floormats and great sound, nice drive and you'll have a great time with this car.
I did not renew the registration in April so it needs an inspection but ready to roll. I have it listed here based on what I paid but give me an idea of what your best offer is and we can go from there. And please understand, I do not finance the sale, so bring cash or a cashier's check.
The windows have heavy tint, approved in Georgia and I've not had any problems getting it inspected here, but I'm told it could be problematic with some inspectors.
The front pads brake sensor is broken and always on but the pads/rotors are good, anyway, all and all a good and really fun car to drive. Technically, it has a back seat but it's tight for normal people and difficult to use with a tall driver. I've never used it, but it's there.
If you saw this listing earlier you noticed it was briefly taken down. That was due to a discrepancy in the title status. Apparently there was a rear end collision involving this car and was issued a rebuilt title at that point some 15 years ago. I was unaware of it but that's what's listed on the Car Fax, thus the change. Nevertheless, I hold a clean title and that's what I'll give you at the time of sale. Again, I was unaware of the work but that's what's on the report. Thus the change. Thanks!

Porsche 911 with VW turbodiesel prepares for LeMons assault
Fri, 21 Mar 2014LeMons racing is a wonderful example that setting limits can actually breed creativity. The series mandates that all entries must cost $500, not counting safety equipment, and that cap forces teams to be ingenious in how they build a racecar. Take for example this diesel-powered Porsche 911, which its creators have dubbed Ferkel the Nein-11, that will be racing in the Sears Pointless race this weekend in Sonoma, California.
This Frankenstein combines a 911 chassis that was originally bought just for its European powertrain and a Volkswagen TDI diesel engine mounted in the rear. After deciding the shell could still be of some use, the team decided to go racing. "We began brainstorming what replacement drivetrain to use for maximum offense and there was really only one answer: a diesel," said Philipp von Weitershausen, one of the team captains, to Jalopnik. They bought a 1998 Jetta TDI on the cheap and started figuring out a way to hack the engine into the bay. To pay respect to the donor, the VW's trunk was highly modified (and drilled) and grafted onto the back of Ferkel.
This team isn't a newcomer to LeMons. Its last car was a classic VW Beetle with a Subaru engine and dual controls, named Ferdinand the Bug, which could be driven from the left or right side. It's quite a sight.
Meet the main man behind the 2014 Porsche 911 GT3
Fri, 30 Aug 2013We have yet to catch our breath from our first drive of the 2014 Porsche 911 GT3, but if you're still not sold on the fact that this track-ready 911 is only offered with a PDK transmission, then you should take it up with Andreas Preuninger. Preuninger is the guy who led the team responsible for the latest GT3. Porsche has released a video giving a little backstory of what went into the development of the car, which had as its goal the creation of a pure, rewarding 911 driving experience.
The video captures the sights and sounds of the GT3 perfectly. Perhaps the best part is listening to Preuninger describe one of the defining moments that resulted in replacing the GT3's manual gearbox with the PDK. We don't want to ruin the video for you, so scroll down to check it out for yourself.
The mid-engine Porsche backstory
Thu, 09 Oct 2014As an automaker's identity evolves over years, its signature becomes defined by any number of factors - heritage (Mercedes-Benz), image (Lamborghini), or market share (Toyota). In the case of Porsche, it was an engineering quirk that forged the German company's most enduring character trait.
Porsche would not have survived - let alone, thrived - in today's saturated landscape had it not been for the 911, and that slope-tailed sports car wouldn't have sprung to life without its predecessor, the 356. While phenomenal success of those rear-engine icons built the company, forays into the mid-engine configuration have played a significant part in establishing the brand's identity.
