1986 Porsche 944 Turbo going to Hoy Auction mid-September 2023


Auction is live! No reserve.

While picking up a few items at the last Hoy Auction, ran into Jay and we discussed auctioning one of my Porsches. I need the space and opted to let the 944 go. 

It’s an online auction and when live, you should see it listed here on Hibid.









1986 Porsche 944 Turbo

VIN: WP0AA0954GN155745

2dr Coupe, 4-cyl. 2479cc/220hp Bosch FI

Burgundy exterior and interior. Electric sunroof (works).

True Mileage Unknown (TMU), although estimated between 160k - 170k assuming it was working continuous prior to latest ownership. Used as a daily driver for a few years after I spent a few years improving reliability.

Purchased by latest owner in late 2018. 

Binder of work done during current ownership is included, although no documentation prior. Clutch seems good and really hasn’t changed in feel or issues since ownership, timing belt was done recently prior to current owner taking ownership and was adjusted as part of initial inspection/work. Interior is reasonably good with some minor cracks on dash (patina?). No notable rust observed.

Includes: 2 sets of keys (doors are keyed different from ignition), box of many original parts, steering wheel, new brake pads, original floor “Turbo” mats and more. Center caps for wheels are in the box of parts (I have had one lost/stolen, so just keep them off).

Updates/Repairs (most done by current owner): Momo Prototipo steering wheel, Coco Mats, Radio/Speaker Removal (no original as it was an aftermarket anyway and broken), Replace Engine Hood Insulation, Replace Rear Shocks with Koni Sport Shocks, Replace Shifter Leather Boot and Shifter, Replace Windshield (with Sekurit brand), Replace door seals, Upgrade to Heavy Duty Starter, Fuel Injector Cleaning (through WitchHunter), Rear Wiper Delete, Silicone Seal Around Rear Window, Replace Cooling Fan, Rebuild Front Caliper, Replace Ignition Switch/Housing, Replace Visor Clips, Replace Camshaft Position Sensor, Repair Sunroof Bracket, Differential fluid change, Replace Door Handle Seals, and normal wear items/regular maintenance.

Known Issues: Turbo only produces 1.2 bar (approx 1/2), Exhaust cracked at junction and re-welded, although 2 bolts to manifold were stripped and unable to tap (1 on upper and 1 on lower), Slow power steering fluid leak (sometimes will leak to ground if parked nose-up at angle), Slow oil leak (no spots on ground, but oil sometimes gather in lower engine cover. Seat position for driver side is “stuck” in current position, passenger seat will move (with great effort). This engine by nature runs hot and is more appropriate as a 3-season car (not typically run in peak summer). A/C works (kinda) but not used as it takes some power away.

Blogger Spam in Comments - Go home and do real marketing research…not waste my time deleting your crap.

Ok, admittedly I don’t get very many comments on the blog. But what gets me is this business of using blogger comments to put advertisements in them, what I am guessing to get the search bots to think they have more links that they really do in an attempt to get higher search rankings.  When I see them, I just delete them as I would rather have no comments then crappy comments. I suspect they are trying to trick the search engines to think they have links to all these sites and increase their search result ranking…go somewhere else please. Odds are if you have to resort to this type of gaming, you don’t have a quality product or service.  I now moderate all comments and will not approve any comments with URLs in them. Rant over. John

eBay Sales Cycles, Best Times of the Month and Week To Sell

Image
  Most of this is common sense but like everything else, may have variations depending on category. I have been looking over the sales trends for about a year since and now that I am setting most of my listings as Promoted Listings, it makes it easier to see monthly and weekly sales trends.  Observations: Common paycheck periods definitely have a major play with 1st and 15th of the month (starting a day before) being the biggest sales periods of the month, especially for higher priced listings. But I have found to take the best advantage of it, have your listings posted a week in advance if possible. I did a large number of listings 2 days before the end of the month and they seemed to have missed the wave. People have probably already made up their minds days in advance on bigger purchases. Government paychecks go every 2 weeks and can be found pretty easily with a Google Search . Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are generally the worst days of the week with it bottoming out on ...

Framing Project - 1988 Scenic Wonders, Myron Rosenberg, Matususka Valley, Alaska - Poster

Image
For Sale (listed on eBay in the SecondMoonshot store ) Found this poster at Rummage Warehouse in Wilson, NC and it had a little foxing but thought a nice mat cut would keep this relevant. New frame (Nielsen Brushed Copper Profile 11), new plexiglass, new mat board Crescent 9519 Curry with multiple cuts to hide foxing but also to emphasize text (my daughter said the gold really brings out her butt), and new black backing to hide white foam core cradle and I just find the black backing to add a touch of class - I had some existing foam core and built the cradle and glue gunned the backing board to the cradle for stability then placed the poster in it, so no glue on the poster portion. It was already mounted on foam core so had to build a foam core template cradle around it to handle the larger frame. It took me 2 tries to get it good enough with mat board. Picture is not particularly valuable although very nice piece of photography, but have about $115 in costs plus about 4 to 6 hours in...
