some nice false info his got a 944S dosn't have a larger motor just a twincam the last time i checked and the 'larger motor' came out in 1989

Technically speaking it's a larger motor due to the bore spacing.

Traditionally, "big block" engines were defined by the bore space and the 928 / 944 engine has almost the same bore centers as a 502 Chevy BB.

So if there is such a thing as a 4-cylinder big block, the 944 engine would qualify.

Don't confuse this with displacement.

bore spacing on a 944 is identical to the 944S - identical blocks...unless you refer to the 1989 motors.

doug, go halvsies?

"hit a curb and broke the tie rod control arm and bent the steering rod parts are around 250 "

He must have price quoted early 944 parts....that control arm alone could double that part estimate. Nothing like buying a sportscar from a guy who hasnt a clue about it.

The 86 down in lake elsinore sounds better....even without the S

Ive been talking myself out of them both all week.

If someone buys this and the motor is in good condition.. i'd be interested in it.

If deals like this popped up near Green Bay I would have 100 Porsche's by now

Geldfalle 944

These are even better deals than mine was. Still at double the estimate to fix, it would still be worth it. A S for $1500? Yes Please!

MN944S

A '86 S?
I thought the "S" models were only '87-'88?

Ultra rare model or another example of the seller doesn't know what he has?

Porsche16V944

damn, i was going to say that... haha, beat me to it

944Ross

I'd want to see the title & VIN plate before going very far...they may not match. (86 title, '87 car?)

catamax944

The S came out in the second half of '86 ,don't know witch month but definetely not in '87 . Anyway there are very few '86 S's around.

in 1990 i got my '87 944 S with 17,600 miles, passenger side door, hood and passenger side quarter, keyed, passenger side door handle broken, interior door cloth slashed on passenger side. seats slashed. theft recovery, $5,260 at auction. (it did have a salvage title but the car was back up after a few weeks in the shop).

i had all issues resolved including paint for $2,300 minus the slashed seats, which i covered with those old nylon, water-sports seat covers. i soooooo much miss it.


this reminds me of that "deal." cars from the south, california, etc, are under-rated
