Description:
Introducing a stunning 1984 Porsche 944 that has been meticulously upgraded to deliver an exhilarating driving experience. This classic and muscle car is not just a vehicle; it's a statement of performance and style. With a powerful 5.7-litre LS1 V8 engine sourced from a 2001 C5 Corvette, this car is engineered for speed and responsiveness.
The exterior boasts a sophisticated black finish, highlighting its sporty coupe silhouette. Inside, fully adjustable Recaro sport bucket seats ensure both comfort and support for spirited driving experiences. As a coupe, the car embodies classic heritage while integrating modern performance improvements.
This Porsche, equipped with rear-wheel drive and a manual transmission, provides an exhilarating driving experience. With only 24,000 miles on the odometer, it reflects the careful upkeep it has received. The engine and suspension have been upgraded in tandem, ensuring excellent performance and reliability.
This Porsche has a clean title, highlighting its excellent maintenance history. Its remarkable history includes key upgrades, such as a rebuilt transaxle, cryo-treated ring and pinion, and many premium components. The vehicle's 50/50 weight distribution enhances its competitiveness on the track.
The asset's history includes a partial repaint, with the front of the car, from the front to the doors, being refreshed to maintain its pristine appearance. While the engine is not original, it has been expertly rebuilt, ensuring that it runs smoothly and powerfully.
Currently, there are a few minor issues to note: the first gear synchro was not replaced during the transaxle rebuild, which may require attention, and the HID headlights require a few attempts to ignite. The air conditioning operates on or off, with three fan speeds available, and the electric mirrors have never functioned.
This vehicle has been kept in a garage since its purchase in 2012, with approximately 2000 miles driven per year, ensuring it remains in excellent condition. With a history of upgrades, this Porsche 944 is a rare find, combining classic styling with modern performance enhancements.
Seize the chance to own this exceptional vehicle, constructed with premium materials. At a San Diego SCCA Autox event, it secured the second-fastest time among 140 other Porsches, highlighting its competitive advantage and superior engineering.
