1986 Porsche 944 Turbo / 951

Never abused or “dogged”
Ridiculously fast – at the appropriate boost will embarrass/surprise 996 Twin Turbos
Tight and sporty ride/suspension, but not fatiguing
Fully-compatible with e85 fuel allowing higher boost (more than 22 PSI not recommended, but capable) or standard fuel with the flip of a switch
Fully-equipped with the complete Vitesse MAF/PiggyBack/Turbo Stage 3 system (the absolute best there is)
Non-smoker owner
No “old car smell”
Ice cold air conditioner
PCA member

The Bad (normal for 944s)

• Wiper fluid reservoir needs to be flushed out
• Stitch missing on the driver side seat (see picture)
• Alarm system does not work, but is safely bypassed
• Though the leather is in excellent shape, the shifter boot clasps/latches will, on very rare occasion, pop up in cold weather in the shift from 1st to 2nd (it snaps right back down with ease)
• Very minor chips in paint (near nose). Otherwise, the paint/body looks amazing. People often mistake this car for a 90s model.


Extra parts I’m throwing in:

• Roll cage (plus all hardware)
• Brake pads
• Camera mount (for roll cage)
• Full Ansa 2.5” OEM-style Exhaust (if you don’t like the 3”)
• NEW Replacement dash
• Lindsey Boost Enhancer
• Manual Boost Controller (Lindsey Racing)
• Original air box
• Guru Racing chips (for original AFM and injectors)
• Original k26/6 turbo (great condition)
• Original Bosch injectors
• Bosch AFM.

I will also include:

• All service records
• A set of racing tires (never used)
• Vitesse software and documentation
• Haynes manual
• Shop manuals (PDFs)


She has been lovingly cared for, always garaged, properly maintained, and comes with full service records. In calculating the receipts I estimate that this car has seen well over $40,000 invested in it (primarily in upgrades/modifications).

I challenge anyone to find a better equipped Porsche 944 Turbo with a new clutch, belts, turbo, sensors, et al, and this amount of extras for a better price. I also highly doubt you will find anyone willing to provide original equipment parts to afford the possibility of returning to a stock system.

If you want a head-turning Porsche 944 Turbo with gobs of extras... this is the one. No tricks. No gimmicks.

Serious inquiries only. Feel free to PM (Private Message) me and we can chat via phone, text, or whatever method you prefer.

Pictures! I've included pictures of a non-detailed engine bay, washed car, and the interior.

NOTE: I removed the belt cover only to show off the new belts, pulleys, and water pump.

As requested, I have revised my listing to include additional information/explanation.

Question from Rennlist member: Why are you selling this car?

My answer: In the coming months, my new job/profession will require a lot of commuting (gas compensation only). The last thing I want to do is put 70,000 miles per year on a 951.

Sold!
