FOR SALE: 1986 Porsche 944 - $1900obo
This car was purchased from a friend who had to get rid of it quickly due to a wife’s refusal of his ownership of it. It was pretty rough, but ran well, so I decided to perform some work on it.

--Goodies From the Factory--
*I have found that the car came with the factory sport suspension. I measured the swaybars, and it looks like they are the M030 bars! I measured the front to be 23.5mm (which is the 23.5x3mm tubular bar), and the rear to be 14.4mm (the 14mm optional bar). The dampers are unknown, but are firmer than the standard units.
*The passenger seat is the rare full-leather unit.
I'll start with saying that this car is sold as a project car. The next owner will have to perform some work to get it into a light, trackable 944, or whatever they choose with the combo of custom work that has been done. The car was originally guards red, and the previous owner had it sprayed speed yellow, though the clear coat job was done horribly... it needs a full wetsand to get rid of the drips! I have sprayed the interior pieces (rear seat area, rear hatch area, and door jambs) gloss black, but I did not venture to paint the engine bay.
I adjusted the AFM tracks, replaced the fluids, battery, and fixed a problem with the DME relay. I cleaned the wheels (phone dials), but the left rear seems to have much of its coating coming off. I personally think they would look good stripped and painted black/yellow to go with the rest of the car's bumblebee theme.
--Known problem areas remaining--
*Running lights on passenger side (as well as the driving light) don't work, along with one highbeam, and the rear running lights. I believe there is a bad round somewhere, but haven't confirmed it yet. If the lights run in series, one or two are missing, so that would explain it.
*Rear hatch shocks are worn out.
*Sunroof and mirrors are inop, as the switches are no where to be found.
*Sun visors were removed for some reason, by the previous owner- I have them, but one has a broken mirror.
*Odometer is inop.
*The passenger seat is a 4-way electric, 4-way manual seat... the front adjustment button is missing. The seat is currently out of the car, but will obviously be included with the car, and most likely back in the car when it is sold.
I'm asking $2100 obo as this car only needs minimal parts and some time to become a very nice, custom 944. The car is located in Norfolk, VA, and I would be happy to show it to any interested party.
Check out the pics, as well as the video of the electronic door pop, and feel free to PM me.
Regards,
Kevin
