RARE '86 Porsche 944 Turbo - 79k miles, no accidents, clean Carfax, good cond.

VINTAGE 1986 PORSCHE 944 TURBO

This visceral classic sports car was introduced to Porsche’s lineup for the 1986 model year and proved to be a dynamic performer, think of it as a front-engined, 718 Cayman Coupe of its day! With only 14k units delivered to the U.S from 1986 to 1991, this 1986 944 Turbo RWD coupe has a low 79k miles, a clean, accident-free Carfax, and is a fetching example that serves as a cost-effective way into taking ownership of a classic turbo Porsche!

Upon viewing this handsome Porsche, you’re greeted by an exterior displayed in Guards Red, select exterior surfaces in Black (such as the door handles, window trim, headlight washers, rear bumper inserts, the integrated rear spoiler, and the turbo script located to the far right of the rear), retracting pop-up headlights, integrated fog lights, a single-exit exhaust, and 18-inch, 996 Turbo wheels with center cap Porsche Crests in black. Also included are the original 16-inch phone dial wheels.

The cabin features a removable sunroof, upgraded Kenwood audio system with Blaupunkt speakers and black interior, including stitched black leather steering wheel and manual shifter knob. The front bucket seats are black leather, with a power adjustable drivers seat. Additional upgrades include aluminum pedals and an interior harness bar, which was added to enhance the car’s handling (easily removable).

Underneath the hood lies its turbocharged 2.5L four-cylinder engine, that when new, produced a healthy 220 hp w/ 243 ft-lbs of torque and is mated to a 5-speed, manual transmission while having the power delivered to the rear wheels. Additional upgrades include a Lindsey Boost Enhancer, and a strut bar. Performance upgrades include Koni yellow struts, stainless steel brake lines and road/track brake pads. Also included are Authority chips to improve performance even more (not installed, but easy swap).

Along with a perfect 50/50 weight balance, this car handles great and stops fast!

Includes maintenance records, vehicle manual, most original tools, spare tire, and Porsche embroidered floor mats. Car was smog checked earlier this year, and just had fuel filter, O2 sensor and hoses replaced, along with oil change.Plenty of life left on the brake pads, tires on both sets of wheels still have plenty of tread remaining. Battery replaced earlier this year. Always garaged, barely driven the last 7 years. Originally from NY, in PA for around 7 years, then in CA since.

Fun facts about this car: it was the 944 Turbo used in the Panamera family tree campaign, and it was a detail makeover car by Meguiar’s.
