HISTORY

We are celebrating our 26th year in the same location, and have sold hundreds of Porsche’s of all years and types. A personal favorite is the “951”, more commonly known as the 944 Turbo. And, just when we thought virtually all of the Turbo’s had high mileage, multiple owners, modifications and incomplete history, we come across this example.

This Porsche 944 Turbo is a local car and has never left Northern California. The current and only owner purchased the 944 Turbo from Sunnyvale Porsche Audi, just ~30 miles for our location, on March 26, 1986 with 63 miles on the odometer.

To say that he was meticulous about its care would be a dramatic understatement. The car spent the large majority of its life covered in his garage with the exception of occasional pleasure use, and regular service and maintenance by Porsche professionals.

HISTORY OF THE PORSCHE 944 TURBO

The 944, with internal production code 951, was a mid-sized coupe, equipped with a front engine and rear-wheel drive, in atransaxleconfiguration. An estimate of 163,000 units were build worldwide, making it the most successful Porsche in its history until the appearance of the Porsche Boxster and 997 Carrera.

Of the Turbo model, 25.000 units were manufactured, of which over 14.000 were exported to the United States.

It equipped a 4-cylinder engine with 2.5 liters of displacement (M44) which was initially offered as a normally aspirated engine. In 1986, Porsche introduced the Turbo version, equipping the engine with turbo and intercooler that raised the power of the car to a factory indicated 220 hp.

The Turbo also brought other important changes such as improved aerodynamics, a reinforced gearbox with oil cooling system and a different final gear ratio, a new engine oil cooling radiator (the atmospheric used a water-oil exchanger ), 16″ wheels as standard and a firmer suspension to handle the extra weight. All the internal components of the 951 engine were revised (more than 30 changes were made) to ensure that it would withstand the increase in heat and the higher pressures and internal loads it would have to endure.

The Porsche 944 Turbo was manufactured in a separate plant from the 944, the Neckarsulm facility in Germany.

·How much experience do they have with collector cars?

·How many positive collector car vehicle sales have they completed (positive eBay feedback)?

·How detailed/complete is the description of the vehicle?

·Do the photos show details of the interior, exterior, top, chrome, etc. or are they simply "glamour shots" taken from a distance?

·Does the seller have a Surety Bond to protect the financial transaction?

·What about insurance, licensing by the state, and a local business license?

·Does the seller (if a business) have any DMV (Motor Vehicle) complaints and/or other history of legal action, grievances?

·Does the seller enjoy a favorable local and national/international reputation?

·Can the seller assist with funding sources, transport and out of state/country sales?

We have a particular interest in sports cars and unique vehicles.

·The majority of our vehicles come from local, private owners and collectors, and many were sold new in California. We appreciate that rust free cars, with excellent documentation and history are especially attractive to our buyers both locally, and around the country. As a result, we do not purchase our collectible cars from "distressed" sales, such as wholesale auctions, salvage sales, or lien sales. We do not sell vehicles with salvage titles, or those that have a history of significant accident damage or repair.

·We have sold hundreds of unique, classic and collectible vehicles and regularly deal with buyers that have not had the experience of purchasing a large (both physically and monetarily) item on eBay, or through an Internet source.We strive to achieve 100% positive feedback on all vehicle sales from customers around the globe and is a reflection of our commitment to accurate, complete, and thorough vehicle descriptions.

·We have been shipping vehicles for years and have established excellent contacts that are not only high quality but very price competitive.We do not use brokers, terminal shipping or other discount methods.Call us or email for a quote directly to your home or office.
