There's a guy who comes to the Hershey swap every year with a table full of those....I think they are $50 with a broken latch and $75 with a good latch.

would you guys happen to know what kind of demand is out there for these things? i mean, quite a few people bidding on Ebay, it's just like, i don't need it, and it might make someone else happy :P

Both my P-cars came with their pumps, I used the one out of the N/A once, and the plug on the pump melted during use, it is now to be featured whenever I sell the car as specially modified for more ergonomic use... Haven't used either one since

I bought my mine at hershey for $75...it's in perfect shape and I will never use it.

I have an air tank and a sears 12v which works just fine....no need to mess with the Porsche unit!

Mine works great, pumps pretty good too. All 944 models have uninflated spares, thus needing the pump.

I use mine all the time. Fill up some basketballs, pool floats... just about anything. They are great except for the bakelite plastic used for the lock on the air valve chuck. That part has cracked on mine several times, though its not to hard to fix with a little epoxy.

Mine works but the spring that holds the outlet plug in place is a bit weak so it pops off the cig lighter from time to time.

As you can see they are not rare.

I am sure you can get $125 if it is super nice.
