Well there are two more other 944s I can check out locally. Which one would be the best?

It's very decently prize for an 87.Btw if you do buy it, ask him if he still have the OEM air boxe & get rid of that cone filter.GL

With 12,150 post on the RL 924/931//944/951/968 forum if you don't know what a Saratoga top is then I suggest you move on & join a Honda forum.You can keep this pic courtesy of " RL Scott 951" maybe have it done as a poster & hang it in your bedroom smart A%&**ss.
