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.

Porsche goes karting in its Cayman GTS

Sun, 03 Aug 2014

Think Mini is the king of Go-Kart Handling[TM]? Well, you might be mistaken, as Porsche proves here it's fully capable of delivering a driving experience that'd fit in quite nicely on a go-kart track.
Using a new and very red Cayman GTS, the Stuttgart-based manufacturer invades a kart track in northern Italy and sets the mid-engined sports car loose to slip, slide and zip its way around the circuit. As far as videos for Sunday evening go, this one ticks all the boxes.
Take a look.

Ferrari return to Le Mans looking more likely?

Wed, 18 Dec 2013

Statements made by Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo may indicate that the Italian brand could return to a form of racing it's been absent from for 40 years - prototype racing. That's right, LMP1 could see a factory Ferrari team for the first time since 1973, if a report from ESPN F1 is to be believed.
"We have won with the 458 GTE, but I also quite like the idea of racing at Le Mans in the highest category: who knows, maybe one day we can return and win, say thanks and come home," Montezemolo said. "Maybe we should give it some consideration..."
These seemingly idle, off-hand comments might not hold much water, were rumors about Ferrari's return to prototype racing not swirling as recently as August. There's also the fact that the upcoming, 1.6-liter, turbocharged V6 being used for Formula One complies with the Automobile Club de l'Ouest's own LMP1 regulations, according to ESPN. Finally, Ferrari returning to Le Mans might also explain this video of a camouflaged Ferrari LaFerrari testing a new turbocharged engine, which we showed you a few weeks back. There's a fair chance that what we're actually seeing in that video are the early stages of a new Ferrari prototype testing.

New Porsche 4-cyl engines to range from 1.6L to 2.5L

Mon, 02 Jun 2014

Recent rumors of a turbocharged, flat-four-engine from Porsche for the Boxster (pictured testing above), Cayman and maybe other models go back over a year. The latest scuttlebutt indicates that there could be three variants on the horizon with 1.6-, 2.0- and 2.5-liter displacements and power as high as 360 horsepower.
Car magazine in the UK claims to have access to the specifications for the project and thinks the 2.0- and 2.5-liter versions are guaranteed for production for the Boxster and Cayman. However, it believes a question mark still looms over the 210-hp 1.6L because the engine would go into a new, smaller sports car that still doesn't have a green light for production.
Regardless of displacement, the new fours would be turbocharged and direct-injected. The 2.0-liter would produce around 286 hp and 295 pound-feet of torque, and the 2.5-liter would make about 360 hp and 347 lb-ft. Earlier reports pegged some parts sharing with the current flat-six.
