I am a private owner who has taken exceptional care of this vehicle from the moment that I purchased it ten years ago from the original Porsche dealer who sold it new. 

This dealer was very familiar with the family who ordered it, they remembered the dealer trade that they made to acquire it, had recently reacquired it through a trade on a new Porsche, and then proceeded to print out the entire maintenance history before I agreed to purchase it.  I have owned it ever since.

This Alpine white on dark blue cabriolet has only 33,005 miles on the odometer from new and is all original. It has never been hit, always garaged, never seen rain, and has only been serviced since new by Porsche dealers (two).  All records are available.

This 944 drives as new and requires nothing mechanically.  Those who are familiar with this rare model will know that there were less than 2000 exported to the U.S. and, I believe that they are ready to appreciate in value.  Some of the the attached pictures were taken just before storage for the winter and others were taken earlier today.  I took the car for a spin on the first nice day of spring, reluctantly turned it over 33,000 miles and returned it to my garage.  I have driven it a grand total of 4,725 miles in ten years, and that includes driving it back from the dealership in Minnesota after purchase (1,056 miles).

I am not a dealer and have never sold anything on Ebay previous to this.  I am willing to provide every detail, warts and all.  The fabric top is wearing out on both sides (see photo) but the electric mechanism operates perfectly.  If I reconsider and decide to keep it, I will replace the top this year.  The radio stopped working and the A/C is not blowing cold air.  The passenger window mechanism works but has gotten clunky.  There is a small chip in the windshield which is below the wiper line (was there before I owned it) and a tiny ding in the left rear quarter which can only be seen at the perfect angle.  The belts were replaced at 26,880 miles and the tires have lots of tread but are not new.  Oh, and one of the windshield washer sprayers seems to be clogged. Can't think of another thing.

This 944 is inspected every year by Porsche mechanics at a Porsche dealer.  I have all manuals, all the keys, tool kit, air pump, gloves and tire bag, custom car cover, original showroom brochure, and the original window sticker ($50,840 in 1990!).  The last time, I had it in for an inspection, a guy followed me out of the dealership and asked, "If you ever want to sell it"...of course, I didn't at that time. 

I have seen several cars similar to this one advertised on the web by dealers over the years - not sure about all of those.  I am sure about this one.  Of course, it needs some little adjustments to restore to perfection, but you will not be disappointed.  This is the second 944 cab that I have owned.  I think the "chopped top" makes it one of the best looking convertibles with the top up that has ever been built.

For fun, I included a picture of an ad for the 2009 Hershey PCA Swap Meet (no affiliation) which appeared in Excellence magazine which happened to randomly "highlight" my car (the 944 in the foreground).  I live near Hershey, PA.  The car looked good enough to photograph then and is unchanged today.  

 Thank you for considering it for purchase.

Jay Leno's Dodge Challenger raises $585k for USO in Scottsdale

Mon, Jan 19 2015

Of all the metal moved in Scottsdale, AZ, this holiday weekend, the one you see here was hardly the most expensive. But it's noteworthy for another reason: despite being a relatively humble, second-hand 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8, raised an impressive $565,625. That's because, first of all, it belonged to Jay Leno, and secondly because the proceeds were going to the USO. Leno donated the modern muscle car from his collection to benefit our men and women in uniform, and was on hand to present the car on stage at the Gooding & Company auction, along with USO president J.D. Crouch II and former Army chief of staff General George W. Casey, Jr. After frenzied and patriotic bidding, the gavel ultimately dropped at $360,000, accompanied by over $200,000 in additional contributions, bringing the total amount donated to the USO to over half a million. Commendable though it was, of course the Challenger didn't garner the highest bids at the auction. A 1959 Ferrari 250 GT LWB California Spider sold for $7.7 million and a 1968 Ferrari 330 GTS fetched $2.4 million. A rare 1962 Ferrari 400 Superamerica Series I Coupe Aerodinamico sold for over $4,070,000 – which, according to Sports Car Market, is the most ever paid at auction for a 400 Superamerica. And a 1966 Porsche 906 Carrera 6 also sold for a record $1.98 million.

Autoblog Minute: New Civic, FCA UAW Agreement, Frankfurt

Fri, Sep 18 2015

FCA reaches a tentative agreement with the UAW, Honda reveals the all-new 2016 Civic, and the Frankfurt Motor Show dazzles us again. Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore reports on the Weekly Recap edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] FCA reaches a tentative agreement with the UAW, Honda reveals the all-new 2016 Civic, and the Frankfurt Motor Show dazzles us again. I'm senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. FCA reached a tentative labor agreement with UAW leadership. The major focus of the new deal reportedly includes: the eventual elimination of the two-tier pay scale [00:00:30] and pooling worker health care. Now that a leadership agreement is in place, the deal will be sent to FCA's rank-and-file. FCA has about 36,000 hourly employees. We got a first look at the interior and exterior of the 10th-generation Civic. Honda expects the new sedan to dominate the C-segment when it hits dealerships later this fall. Civic coupe, five-door hatchback, Si and Type R will all come later. The 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show is in the books and there was a lot of news to get excited about. [00:01:00] Porsche introduced a fully electric concept car in the Mission E. If they make this car, Porsche could give Tesla nightmares. We also saw SUVs from Jaguar and Bentley. There were two beautiful Italian convertibles from Ferrari and Lamborghini. Meanwhile, Mercedes introduced a concept of their own in the IAA - a vehicle that experiments with adaptable aerodynamics. Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to check out my full recap this Saturday. Plus we'll have some added insight on General Motors' deal to [00:01:30] avoid federal prosecution.
