- Driver seat bolster "slightly" worn, repaired tear in passenger seat.
- Original paint on EVERY fender and door, dents etc have never been addressed. This car has been in NO major accidents. Car has a clean carfax.


The Bad
- Front seals leaking
- Belts need replacing
- Rubber centered clutch is in need of replacement
- Needs some body work
- Bursch exhaust has a crack and slight leak (see above just passed emissions)
- Clock is not working

As most know I have been working at getting the '87 back in shape but I have found what I feel to be a great oppertunity to move up to a nicer ride and the wife says only 1 P-car at a time so she needs to find a new home, the car, not the wife I was going to do the belts/seals and clutch this winter and get the body work done this spring which would easilly put this in the realm of a 7K car. That said I am looking to get what I have in this right now back out which is 3K but I am willing to listen to reasonable offers. This is not a daily driver for me but very well could be by just doing the above work. I have no problems with starting the car up and driving it as is but as we all know w/out documentation these things need to be addressed. I bought the car with a broken speedo so I am unsure of actual miles +/-5K but issues were addressed and it is now working.

I recently had the car in for the fuel pump replacement and the Bad List was what was noted by them. Funny as I already knew those things. I am currently riding on a borrowed set of wheels and tires that will need to be returned to their owner or transfered to the new P-Car so I am not sure what you will get but you will be taken care of for sure. Right now it is looking like a set of Cup 1's or a set 968 stock wheels.

PM me if you have any questions, if I can't find a buyer here I will be posting this on Ebay in the next few days.

I will post links to photos a bit later. I will provide option codes as well. Forgot to mention it is a 5 speed.

Update: eBay listing is Here

Yes Ted it is red. I have been watching Stan Shaw's 82 Moss Green 5spd but CT is kinda a haul to go and get it. The 928 purchase does not depend on the sale of the 944 however I would like to sell it sooner than later. Got room for both, but, well I enjoy not sleeping on the couch.

I've learned that the couch can get comfortable after the 3rd or 4th Porsche.

Pictures are up. I need to wash it and take some newer ones as those are over the past 2 months or so. The passenger side mirror is back on the door now, LOL

Ken I know, I didn't even have this one for 6 mos. I just can't have two. Well I guess I could but I'd have to sell the VW and then what would be my daily? Can't go having that now.

Lisa told me last night after I had made my offer on the 928 that she woulda rather seen this car all fixed and perfect sitting in the garage than starting with another car that has some issues. OOhps.
