1990 Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet 2-door 3.0l - 33k Original Miles, Meticulous Owner on 2040-cars
Year:1990
Mileage:33005
Location:
Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, United States
|
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. |

Watch Larry Kosilla resurrect the finish of this barn-find 1966 Porsche 912
Thu, 25 Jul 2013Larry Kosilla, the founder of the Ammo NYC line of car cleaning products, has his own show YouTube's Drive network - we saw his work before when he gave a Ferrari 288 GTO a two-day detailing job. On this episode, Kosilla gets called in to do his best with a 1966 Porsche 912, a car that was last registered in 1990 and recently found in a barn in Connecticut.
Among the expected dirt and cobwebs, the Irish Green Porsche is also covered what is assumed to be cat fur and "waste." The car is in such delicate condition, however, that Kosilla can't wash it for fear of getting more water in it than on it, so he has to steam and wipe the entire thing down before he begins the paint correction process. In addition to the thorough knowledge of his work and his ability to explain it simply, the episode is captioned with further information one of Porsche's popular but less regarded models, and how Kosilla does what he does.
You'll find a compelling 29 minute masterclass in the video below.
Why you must buy an air-cooled Porsche 911 now
Fri, 14 Feb 2014"Because" might be a good response to our headline, but as a vintage (purists might call 'proper') Porsche 911 is hardly cheap, we suspect you'll need a better explanation than that. Enter Drive editor Mike Spinelli.
Spinelli sits down with Zac Moseley and Mick Prichinello from Classic Car Club Manhattan to first explain why the market for old, air-cooled 911s has gotten so hot over the past few years, and to discuss if it's a bubble that's about to burst. Following that, this video is really is just three guys sitting around talking about old Porsches for 35 minutes. Which, you know, we're pretty onboard with.

700 horsepower Porsche GT2 RS is the wildest 911 ever
Fri, Jun 30 2017The Porsche 911 comes in a variety of flavors, each filling a certain taste for a certain customer. Sitting atop the range is the new 911 GT2 RS. In previous generations, the GT2 had a bit of a reputation as a widowmaker, a 911 with massive power that could snap and bite with the slightest agitation. Porsche says the new model has been civilized, but with 700 horsepower going to the rear wheels, we're sure it's going to be as mad as ever. Power comes from a highly massaged version of the 3.8-liter flat-six from the 911 Turbo S. The rear-mounted engine makes an outrageous 700 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque. Like we previously reported, the new car will use water injection to help keep things cool. The only transmission is Porsche's PDK. While enthusiasts may lament the loss of the manual, the RS models have always been about performance above all else. Simply put, the PDK is the better performance option. All that power translates to a 0-60 mph time of 2.7 seconds and a top speed of 211 mph. The engine makes 80 more horsepower than the previous model. That makes it the most powerful road-going 911 ever built. In fact, the 887 horsepower 918 Spyder is the only road-going Porsche that makes more power. The fact that Porsche trusts all of that power to go to the rear is both thrilling and terrifying at the same time. In order to manage traction, the GT2 RS gets a number of upgrades. Rear-wheel steering has become commonplace in the 911 lineup, so it's no surprise to see it here. Sticky tires with 265/35 ZR 20 section rubber at the front and 325/30 ZR 21 section rubber at the rear keep things planted. That comically large rear wing adds downforce, adding to stability. The car gets standard carbon ceramic brakes. While some people prefer traditional rotors for the street, like the PDK, this is all about performance. A number of intakes and outlets complement the rear wing and maximize aerodynamic efficiency. It's a bit of a surprise that with all the focus on downforce, the GT2 RS still manages to top out at 211 mph. The hood, front wings, wheel housing vents, door mirrors, side air intakes, parts of the rear end, and a number of interior components are all made from carbon fiber. The roof has been made of magnesium. If you want to drop any pretense of civility and comfort in the pursuit of speed, Porsche is offering a Weissach package that shaves off another 40 pounds from the already impressive wet weight of 3,241.
