Default 86 944 turbo 951 for sale/trade

I have always had a thing for Porsche cars. About a year ago I bought a 2000 Boxster S and enjoyed it. The only complaint that I had was that the legroom was lacking for me, even after the GT3 lower console delete. I posted on the forum that I wanted to trade for a 944 turbo but there were no takers... Sold the Boxster and bought a 1965 Mustang fastback, 289, 4bbl, 4 speed. Played with that for a while. I had forgotten how dreadfully those car drove...Sold that and just bought a white 1986 944 Turbo. One owner, literally a "little old lady." She was a radiologist from North Andover, MA who is now retired. Car is complete with all tools, air compressor, battery tender, sunroof bag, original floormats, Factory books, etc.

Hopefully, I can get pictures attached:

Sweet, looks so clean. How many miles on it?

Will hopefully do a thread like this myself soon.

74,000 miles. Really drives nicely. Only modification is a stainless exhaust, but its too quiet for me. Will probably change the muffler.

Issues:
delaminating hatch, being replaced with good one.

Trans-axle weeping, being re-sealed.

No Maintenance Records on Motor, doing water pump, tensioners, seals including oil cooler, timing belt.

Wheels being restored with white powdercoat center and polished lip. The whole wheel will then get a clear powdercoat.

I love the Fuchs wheels. When I was shopping for a 944, that meant passing on the later models of 944.

I haven't seen that colour combination (burgundy interior with what I take to be linen seats) but it looks really cool!

Congratulations. That's a great looking car.
