For Sale: 1985 Porsche 944 Custom Build – Fast, Fun, and Ready to Drive

This 1985 Porsche 944 is a unique, custom-built car that runs and drives excellent. It features a powerful upgrade with a 1992 Porsche 968 3.0L 16-valve engine paired with a 6-speed transmission, delivering an exciting and responsive driving experience. Known for their balanced chassis and exceptional handling, 944s are a blast on winding roads—and this one is no exception.

The car has been thoughtfully upgraded throughout. It includes 968 sway bars and bushings, along with Porsche Boxster 17” wheels for improved performance and style. Repainted in 2020 in a beautiful metallic maroon, it also features 968 side mirrors and door handles for a refreshed, modern look.

Inside, the interior has been updated with all-new black carpet and padding, 911 seat covers, and a custom sound system with dual 12” subwoofers, amplifier, and Bluetooth stereo with microphone for hands-free calling. The rear seats have been removed for a sportier feel.

Mechanically, this car has been extensively refreshed with many new parts including belts, fuel lines, sway bar bushings, brakes, exhaust system, battery, fuel pump and filter, water pump, distributor cap and rotor, and more. Oil was changed within the last 2,000 miles. The engine and transmission are strong, and the car is reliable and ready to drive. Receipts and diagrams for parts and repairs are included.

Additional details:

• Clean Texas title
• 138,100 miles
• Rear tires are new; front tires show some wear
• Includes original 944 book and diagrams

Known minor issues:

• Heater control valve must be manually operated
• A/C likely needs refrigerant (worked well last summer)

This car was purchased in 2019 not running and carefully brought back to life over the course of a year. The builder has restored multiple 944s, and it shows in the quality and performance of this car.

If you're looking for a classic Porsche with modern performance upgrades, this is a rare and exciting opportunity.
