cookie cutters are the wheels- only came on non- turbo. I have -somewhere- a 944 on a monster truck chassis that i bought at CVS - we ended up raiding them everywhere and giving them as door prizes at the 944fest. I pick up about every little 944 i can find...and some air cool ones too.

That front lip looks like it has the aerodynamics of a brick...and what...no rear diffuser. Love It!

Well, it was Radio Shack, so what can you expect as far as authenticity? Lol. Cute little car, though. I have some work to do (left batteries in) and it will be part of my model car collection.

Air cooled at the front, where you have all the cooling air you want. Now why didn't Dr. Porsche think of that.

Interesting.

And I think I had one of those, Bonnie! Must have been where it all started.

Hey, it's a one-owner! Cool.

I remember those. Came in red and blue, about 8-10 years ago right? (I remember the weirdest stuff). I always wanted one.

To follow the theme; guys, it's clearly an early car. Cookies and antenna. It is therefore a very rare Callaway Turbo 944. If it was a late 944, they would've laced the antenna into the windshield, would've gotten really poor reception

Also guys - RS made a Testarossa with cookies. Bonster probably knows what I'm talking about.....

Bonster - pics of your collection? Feel free to PM!

Take care!
