944 For Sale

[genikz]

Posting for a good friend; car is in Santa Monica area - not Spec legal (due to knife-edged crank, trans and header), but otherwise a very good deal just for the parts. I wish I would have started with this car...

 

For Sale: Enthusiast owned 1983 guards red Porsche 944, black interior. Professionally rebuilt motor (approximately 28k ago). Approximately 107k on chassis. Custom dash and interior. Price $4900 US OBO. Purchased a 928 as reason for selling. Also, car is set-up for aggressive driving on A/X or track car, but is very comfortable and drivable on the street. Drive to the track and drive home. Very reliable transportation. I would drive it anywhere and have.
