1986 porsche 944 - fort worth, txstreetside classicsfort worth, tx 76137ph: 8558772707web: www. Few cars represent bigger bang for the buck, and this professionally modified car still commands respect wherever it goes. Maybe some 911 guys look down at the front-engined, water-cooled 944, but one drive will convince anyone that this is a serious driver's car. The all-white bodywork is a little miami vice and still looks fantastic, a testament to the care it has received for the past few decades. A clean history report which indicates just three owners prove it's been loved since day one. The turbo's special front fascia carries large fog lamps and extra cooling ducts, but no scuffs or cracks from steep driveways. Fit and finish are typically porsche excellent and even the black rubber trim like the rear spoiler and weather stripping is smooth and supple. Look at the condition of this car, then look at the price and be prepared to be impressed. It's been upgraded with a set of sparco racing buckets with harnesses, which are grippy but all-day comfortable. Clear analog gauges put function over style and the 5-speed shifter is the best one this side of a mazda miata's joystick. A custom sparco flat-bottom steering wheel enhances the race-ready look, but it's still quite civilized with plenty of sound deadening and features like power windows and locks and a great-sounding sony am/fm/cd/ipod/usb stereo system, replacing the original 80s vintage stereo. The 944 is also practical, with a large hatch area that's upholstered in a minimalist way to save weight. Fortified with an autothority stage ii chip, a billet fuel rail, a fuel pressure regulator, and an accuboost manual boost control with billet bypass valve, it now makes a rather impressive 286 horsepower. Canted over at an angle for a lower center of gravity, it makes big torque at low speeds, yet its light weight means that the car has almost ideal 50/50 weight distribution. The 5-speed manual transmission has its own oil cooler for track use, and the fully independent suspension is race-bred yet supple and everyone knows porsche's binders are legendary, especially when fortified with zimmerman cross-drilled rotors and stainless flex lines. Expert maintenance means that it's turn-key ready, and the impressively clean undercarriage is more proof that this car has led an easy life as a fair-weather toy. It also comes with two sets of wheels. Power Windows✔ AM/FM✔ CD Player
