If there's one car I've always wanted it is a cheap eighties Porsche. I couldn't jump fast enough at the chance to pickup this 1987 Porsche 944 for $500. It needed a battery as every car does, but we fixed it with $7.16 in parts and a little elbow grease. Now we just have to solve the rattle with some other parts that came with the car and it will be tearing down the road again!

We bought a pretty good condition manual 1980 924 for $2k. No one wants to deal with the bosch cis system, but I know it now ^_^. Also, I don't think turbos are the way to go with old ass, cheap Porsches. Those are early days for turbo engineering and $4k sports cars aren't exactly known for being well maintained...

As an owner of a 1990 944s2 cabriolet, I cannot begin to tell you how many “smiles with the miles” this underrated Porsche will bring you. I’m a retired Navy Officer and a retired Federal Wildlife Officer, both careers with their own unique “stressors”. But an hour in this car, top down, whether in the Smokies, down the Outer Banks, zipping the Tail of the Dragon, along the Blue Ridge Parkway, or through the Whites on the Kancamangus, brings life’s challenges back into perspective.....AND she still holds to the corners like she’s on a rail! Bravo-Zulu......on bringing another 944 back to the “land of the living”!

Because of this episode, you just became my favorite RU-vid channel of all. I rescued and repaired two of these in my 20's, great cars. I got 70,000 miles of ridiculous fun out of them. Fun fact: the stick shift naturally aspirated versions I had could both top 160mph. I'd be curious to see what the automatic trans versions top speed is.

When I was stationed in West Germany back in the 80's I rented both the 944S turbo and the regular 944 and I got both to about 250kph about 160ish on the autobahn but the 928's are much faster at about 280kph. Also in Europe the cars there didn't have catalytic converters so they ran better then the American versions here in the States plus much faster highway speeds too, only after the EU was formed then the cars over there became bogged down with those dreaded cat's.

A properly tuned 944T can beat many Ferrari's on the track thanks to superior cornering (up to 1.25G in the turns, from suspension modifications), and the 2.5, 2.7 or 3.0 engines tuned to >400 wheel hp. i was in a 944 pushing 600hp.

This is the best score you have found to date. The OG Blaupnkut head unit is almost worth what you paid for the whole car. The “phone dial” wheels are worth $200 each as they look to be in really good condition as well. The fact the lining under the hood isn’t completely trashed shows this car was well kept for some time before ending opus in a field. Please put the car back together and make yourself a very tidy profit once this is all over.

What ever you do don’t reset the trip odo whilst in motion. It strips out the main odo gear

@Harey0407 4 года назад
they haven't driven it yet, so entirely possible its already stripped out anyway.

The gear disintegrates with age on VDO meters. You can get them on ebay made in eastern Europe.

JR, you should totally LS swap this thing. They make for fun cars on the track as they literally have basically 50/50 weight distribution and tons of power to weight ratio. Adding a Turbo would make it even better.
