1988 Porsche 944

Description

There is a reason why this 1988 Porsche 944 Turbo look so pristine in white. It is one of those survivor-grade untouched sports machines that offers the full package of a vintage appeal mixed with modern convenience and a great price.

The 944 Turbo continues in Porsche's tradition of building serious driver's cars. There's no evidence that it was ever raced or abused, and unlike many of its siblings, it hasn't been chopped and gutted to make a track day special. Instead this highly original example has its correct Alpine White paint, and we even believe it to be the original application. The level of gloss and shine you see today is a testament to both the quality work of Porsche and how well this coupe has been respected from day one. It looks fantastic today, especially with the Turbo's updated styling w/integrated bumper. It even carries the iconic "phone dial" 16-inch alloy wheels, and their condition tells you this is one cherished coupe.

The black trim on the outside is a nice preview of the interior. The black leather seats look like they were borrowed from the 911, and they are just as deep and dark as the carpeting, door panels, and dash. That's because low mileage also means little time for fade and wear. The masters at Porsche make for an ideal driving environment where the steering wheel is grippy, the gauges are crisp, and the stick shift is in the perfect position to rest your hand. But more than an supreme driving machine, it's loaded with all the right features. This includes power windows, power locks, cruise control, driver's airbag, and the original Blaupunkt AM/FM cassette head unit. And of course, this 944 comes with its signature feature, the large removable sunroof that truly opens the coupe up to the world. Plus, with R134a air conditioning, you do this and stay cool all summer long.

This 944's numbers-matching turbocharged and fuel-injected motor puts out a robust 217 horsepower from just 2.5 liters. And the control of the five-speed manual transmission and lightweight nature makes this coupe a little pocket-rocket. Plus, Porsche is always thinking about the driving experience with features like the engine canted over at an angle for a lower center of gravity, and the rear-mounted five-speed transmission that gives the car a nearly 50/50 weight distribution. Add in features like four-wheel disc brakes, power steering, and Porsche's legendary engineering prowess for the fully independent sport suspension. Now you realize this is blast to drive anytime. But there is a practical side to this purchase, too. Decades of expert maintenance means that it's turnkey ready, and the impressively clean undercarriage is more proof that the car has led an easy life as a fair-weather toy.

You get the owner's manual and maintenance records - including $10K in receipts invested over the last three years. This is a complete and classic Porsche that's ready now and well within reach. Call today!!!
