1987 PORSCHE 944 S
This car is in good condition. No leaks, it is clean in the engine compartment and there is never any leaks or traces of fluids underneath the vehicle where it is parked. Clean straight body. There are a few minor dings, but the body is straight and free of rust. All lights are in good working order, as well as the horn. There is an upgraded cassette player and stereo installed. This car has been in the dry desert of Nevada most of its life, so it is not rusty. Unknown miles. The odometer stopped working at 74k. I do not know for sure, but I think the engine was recently rebuilt. The reason I say this is because the oil is still clean 1000 miles after an oil change, and the person that I bought the car from said that the previous owner went in and re-did everything. (SEE PHOTOS). No power steering. The power steering is disconnected because one of the pressure hoses has a leak, and I have not bought a new one to put on yet. The power steering pump and everything works good, but it needs a new pressure hose. I bought the car a couple months back, it was running rough, but I tuned it up and now it runs good. I have been driving it back and forth to work and it has been running great.

Here is a link to a video of the car going 0-60 mph (it takes it about 8 or 9 seconds, but that is at 5,000 feet of elevation and I had to turn the car onto the highway before I could gas it). I do not hot rod this car around, but I felt it was necessary to red line it to show the potential buyers that it runs good.

Here is a link to a video of a walk around of the car. I also started the car from the passenger side, this shows that the car starts up really good. You don't have to give the car gas or anything like that, it just fires right up. All of the computer and fuel injection components are in good working order.

Here is a video of the vehicle being started. It shows that the car starts up with ease. I also wanted to show that the oil pressure gauge does not work. As well the voltmeter gauge, sometimes does not work, it will just peg out, like it is in the video, but usually the gauge works good. I also wanted to show how well the throttle response on this car is. Listen to the engine purr and how it snaps up to high RPM with just a flick of the peddle. She can be yours if your the highest bidder :)

Here is a list of new parts that I installed, in order to tune the car up:
New Fuel Filter
New Fuel Pump
New Distributor Cap
New Spark Plugs

I also recently installed the following:

New tires (Only about 1,000 miles on the new tires).
New inner and outer front wheel bearings and seals.
Brakes, rotors and calipers were checked when installing the wheel bearings. The brake pads still have a lot of life left in them, they have about 70 percent left in them.

This car is fun to drive. It is a good reliable vehicle, but I am buying a house and I need the money.

I am willing to drive this car up to 200 miles for the cost of gas and a plane ticket home. I am also willing to help in any way possible to ship the vehicle. I can deliver it wherever it needs to be delivered in order to get it shipped to you.

Here is what still needs to be fixed:

Drivers seat leather is torn and needs to be re upholstered or needs a seat cover.

The dash has a few cracks in it and could use a cover.

The rear hatch will not stay up on its own and can not be opened using the key.

The oil pressure gauge and odometer do not work.

The stick shift is loose in all gears (will wiggle back and forth). The car stays in gear just fine and is smooth through the gears. I think it just needs some new bushings where the linkage connects the stick shift to the transmission.

AC does not work.

The clear coat near the drivers side door is starting to peel and crack a little.

Passenger window does not work, and the passenger door only opens from the inside.

Small crack on passenger side windshield (SEE PHOTOS)

The carpets could use a nice steam cleaning.

I have done my best to list any defects with the vehicle because I am an honest and up front seller. All and all this is a very nice car.

Only 3,312 of these cars were imported to the US in 1987, and only 5224 were made. A very rare car, it could use some touch up on the interior, but overall its in very nice shape.

Clean and Clear Title In Hand. Looking at the car fax vehicle report, it shows that there was only 1 minor, non collision accident with the vehicle. It also shows that the car passed a smog check just a few years ago. The car was repossessed from the original owner 11 years ago, and then auctioned off. There was a lean on the car several years back, however there is NOT a lien on the car now. I have the clean clear title in hand, and I am ready to sign it over to the highest bidder.

Please feel free to ask any questions. I am more then willing to help with shipping, or getting the vehicle to you. I can drive to the Reno, NV airport and pick you up in the car, then you can drive it home. I can also help deliver the vehicle to a shipping hub, or if you are nearby I can drive the vehicle to you for the cost of gas and a ride home. There is no doubt in my mind that this beautiful Porsche 944 would have no trouble making a cross country trip to its new home! Good Luck and Happy Bidding :)

Here is some info on the car:

For the 1987 model year, the 944S "Super" was introduced. The 944S featured a high performance normally aspirated, dual-overhead-cam 16-valve 192 PS (141 kW; 189 hp) version of the 2.5 litre engine (M44/40) featuring an self-adjusting timing belt tensioner. This marked the first use of four-valve-per-cylinder heads and DOHC in the 944 series, derived from the 928S4 featuring a redesigned camshaft drive, a magnesium intake tract/passages, magnesium valve cover, larger capacity oil sump and revised exhaust system. The alternator capacity was 115 amps. The wheel bearings were also strengthened and the brake servo action was made more powerful. Floating 944 calipers were standard, but the rear wheel brake circuit pressure regulator from the 944 turbo was used. Discrete '16 Ventlier' script badges were added on the sides in front of the body protection mouldings. Performance was quoted as 0 -- 100 km/h (62 mph) in 6.5 seconds and a 232 km/h (144 mph) top speed. It also featured an improved programmed Bosch Digital Motronic 2 Computer/DME with dual knock sensors for improved fuel performance for the higher 10.9:1 compression ratio cylinder head. Like the 944 Turbo, the 944S received progressive springs for greater handling, revised transmission and gearing to better suit the 2.5-litre DOHC higher 6800 rpm rev limit. A Club Sport touring package (M637) was available. Dual air bags, limited-slip differential and ABS were optional on the 944S as was the lightweight 16 inch CS/Sport Fuch forged alloy wheels. This car was raced in Canada, Europe and in the USA IMSA Firehawk Cup Series. Production was limited to two years; 1987 and 1988 only. It was superseded in 1989 by the 'S2' 944 edition.

eGarage video features Helmuth Bott's personal Porsche 959 prototype

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

"We thought we were going to build a super-911," said Peter Schutz, former CEO of Porsche AG of the development of the Porsche 959. That was before it started getting expensive. At that point, Helmuth Bott, Porsche R&D director got frightened. Costs ballooned because of the all-wheel drive, sequential turbocharging and other technology Porsche had never even thought about when it set out to build a 911 to compete in Group B. Schutz continued, "The amount of resources we were committing got totally out of hand." Instead of pulling the plug, Bott doubled down and drew on the strength of his brilliant team to build a car whose impact is still echoing aross the industry.
"It's probably one of our most prized possessions" says Don Leatherwood, Director of the Brumos collection where Dr. Bott's personal prototype resides, and where Frazer Spowart went to see the car and create a video for eGarage. Check out the sights and sounds of the 959 before it was the 959, and get personal takes on the car from Hurley Haywood, Peter Schutz and Don Leatherwood. Keep reading to see the video.

Porsche creates 'symphony' with seven generations of 911

Wed, 02 Oct 2013

At Porsche, things are getting a bit wild on the 50th anniversary year of the 911. To celebrate it (again) in yet another inventive way, the automaker has called on the musical talents of seven generations of the rear-engine sports car (please suspend your disbelief, at least for the length of the video, and assume that generation two started in 1974) to perform a song that has eight notes. We're wondering which 911 is pulling double duty...
But before the Porsches are lined up for the short recital, the drivers let loose and drift them inside a hangar. Watch the video below, and tell us in comments which was more impressive: the song or the drifting.

2014 Porsche Cayman promo video hits the web

Fri, 28 Dec 2012

Don't know how we missed this, but you don't have to play around with the 2014 Porsche Cayman configurator to see the new coupe in action; Porsche has given us more than two beautiful minutes of Cayman footage to enjoy.
The partners in the on-screen tango are the 275-horsepower base Cayman and the 325-hp Cayman S. If you like to keep track of such things, the former starts at $52,600, the latter at $63,800, plus $950 destination for each. Watching a video like the one below, however, is free.
