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

Image
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 goo...

Parts and misc needed tools came to about $550 and ended up taking me about 8 hours. I have a Quick Jack which I love and makes lofting the car a breeze.  Service included: Spark plug replacement Oil and filter change Cabin and pollen filter change Serpentine/drive belt replacement Air filter change I was a little nervous taking this on and YouTube, RennList and a few other sites got me through it. Spark plugs were probably the most frustrating part because I had to use some combination of extensions to get to the plugs. Serpentine belt probably took the longest mostly because you have to remove rear bumper, wing, and airbox, but easier than I thought - its like a big lego set. When I removed the carriage bolt the engine dropped a little and was glad I got a bottle Jack to lift engine up again to put it back in. Before I took off...
