1987 Porsche 944

Description

Porsche 951/944 turbo with less than 70k on motor (126,826 on chassis and transmission), damage to passenger front, extra transmission with oil cooler, great project car!
Not a show car/garage queen. This car was meant to be converted to a street legal track-purposed 944turbo. The car is currently stationary due to a physical obstruction to the passenger front tire (fender damage - see picture). It otherwise runs & drives. Prior to my purchase, the first owner seized the engine. I purchased a replacement motor from a donor '88 944 turbo with 67k miles which was thoroughly gone over before installing. The chassis & transmission have 126,826 miles.
Previous modifications (does not include normal maintenance items):
Porsche 968 style mirrors- wires are not connected
Rear seat deletion - rear seats do not come with the car
Door pockets removed - I may still have these and if so, will come with the car
Lightweight carpet set
Lightweight flywheel
Shift boot replacement & cap
New windshield
Extras included:
Spare 5-speed transmission and oil cooler (69K miles)
What will need repair or work will depend on your use of the vehicle:
Front bumper and passenger front damage
Superficial rust (small and easily repairable) in passenger and driver doorway, Rear bumper - see pictures
Rear bumper guard (right)
Headliner needs replacement
Sunroof does not work - I have not had this diagnosed so I am unsure whether it is a simple or complex problem
Needs windshield wiper motors
Needs new battery
Wire to rear window defroster severed and needs repair
Tires have good tread however, manufacturing date was "4016" - these should be replaced for safety and state inspection
Accident information: The car was placed on a dealership lot as a consignment sale. There was an accident in the nearby intersection and my car was collateral damage due to the involved parties losing control of their vehicles. The dealership did not notify me of the damage in a timely manner and refused to pay for repairs. Hence, the superficial rust. To my untrained eye, damage appears cosmetic and not frame/chassis related. However, buyer should consider inspection prior to bidding.
I have done my best to describe the vehicle in its current state. There is normal wear and tear due to the age of this vehicle. Please do your research prior to bidding.
I do recommend having the car inspected prior to bidding if there are any concerns on the buyer’s behalf.

UPDATE 8/6/2021:
I appreciate all the interest in the vehicle. A Buy it Now option has been added. This pricing does take into consideration the potential repair costs (at their highest) and current market value for similar 944 turbos. Even then (in my opinion) the car is a STEAL at this price. It will be an even better deal for those who are mechanically inclined and able to do the work themselves.
