Default Sold my Plymouth bought a Porsche

So I sold my Valiant because it was boring and wanted some more fun that got better fuel mileage. So I bought a 1986 944. It is in great condition just had the clutch and timing belt done but needs a water pump. Enjoy the pictures.

usually the water pump is done with the Timingbelt. Get a balance shaft belt while your in there. Unless you have reciepts or records showing it replaced.

The timing/balance belt and rollers were recently done but I am going to be replacing the belts anyway while I'm there.
The car cost me $2200.

Sunroof delete?

It looks to be in nice enough shape.

Welcome to Rennlist, car looks like it has decent paint and a nice set of Fuchs, and if it also runs that is always a plus

It has the removable sunroof. The Fuchs wheels are in pretty good condition I may respray them. They are the staggered 16" ones.

No No. He bought a 944 not a pickup.

To the OP. Nice find!

Congrats on that.

Now the adventure begins.

BTW I saw a really nice Plymouth Duster that was really worked on and redone with eye popping paint the other day. I had forgot about those cars.

Oh I remember the day I Bought my Red 944... A Great Day! Still remember the smell, and feel.

I stopped to get gas, and everyone looked at me probably thinking "Wow that guy has a nice Ferrari!" Ha ha

Clean it up, Keep it maintained, Be a Proud Porsche Owner! <--- which might actually be easier than a proud Plymouth owner...

Most importantly;;; Spend every waking moment on Rennlist like we do!!
