88 944 great for a racecar build or donor car in SC

[elirentz]

Moving west and need to sell my 88 944. Salvage title because of damage to the rear quarter panel but the frame is straight. Runs and drives great.

 

Would make a great racecar or donor for a racecar.

 

Asking $700

 

Pros:

-I tested the compression and the motor is amazingly fresh all cylinders measured ~189 psi +/- 2 psi Shocked (I actually checked with two testers since I couldn't believe it was that high the first time around)

 

-Recently replaced the timing and balance shaft belts along with the new style water pump, plugs/ wires, distributor cap and rotor, and valve cover gasket. Less than 100 miles ago.

 

-Battery is about a year old

 

-I have a straight driver's side fender yet to be put on along with an extra lower front valence and rear spoiler

 

-I replaced the oil pressure valve with a new one (I found the old one was broken when I replaced the oil cooler seals)

 

-It has turbo phone dial wheels and larger diameter front sway bar

 

-Trans shifts smoothly (except 2nd can be a little notchy when its cold but fine when warm)

 

-I also have an extra driver's front shock/ spring since it has a 951 koni there from when I bought it.

 

-Motor mounts replaced when I got it

----

Cons:

-Salvage title

 

- Interior isn't in great shape

 

- Odometer doesn't work

 

-Tach reads wrong rpm (seems like a signal issue since it isn't just offset the same across the range)

 

-Driver's side lock is different key and the lock part is disconnected since I just replaced the door handle so I could open the door.

 

-No radio

 

-Needs some electrical work for the mirrors, sunroof, and door locks to function consistently (I've had them all work occasionally)

 

-The front valence, blinkers/ fogs are off the car since I had to replace the front bumper and passenger fender from a light fender bender I had a few years back.

 

-There's a rattle in the after-market muffler where some welds have broken loose

I'm willing to take offers. I can sell it to the junkyard for $500 but I'd much rather see someone actually use the motor since it makes such good compression and I just put all the new parts on it.

I tried to send you a pm, but I don't think it worked. I'll take it (for the $500 price) if I can pick it up over the Christmas week sometime. Will go ahead and pay for it, just can't come get it right away.

Thanks

Hey sorry I've been busy packing/ driving across the country for the last week. The car has been sold to a friend. It was the night before I left so I didn't get a chance to update the thread yet. My appologies.
