Exterior and Interior

The exterior of this 1983 Porsche 944 is finished in classic Guards Red, a signature Porsche color that perfectly complements the car’s distinctive wedge-shaped styling and integrated polyurethane bumpers. Pop-up headlights, sculpted body lines, and the removable roof panel enhance both its visual appeal and open-air driving enjoyment. Completing the look are factory-style 15-inch Porsche Phone Dial alloy wheels, which remain one of the model’s most recognizable design elements and reinforce its unmistakable 1980s Porsche character. The interior of this 1983 Porsche 944 is trimmed in Black and features the driver-focused cockpit that helped define Porsche’s front-engine sports cars. Deeply bolstered seating, a simple yet functional gauge cluster, and excellent visibility make it an enjoyable place to spend time behind the wheel. This example benefits from an aftermarket air conditioning system for improved comfort during warmer weather, while a Kenwood audio head unit provides updated entertainment without taking away from the car’s classic charm.

Engine

Powering this 1983 Porsche 944 is a naturally aspirated 2.5L inline-four engine equipped with Bosch L-Jetronic electronic fuel injection. Developed specifically for the 944, this engine was notable for its smooth operation, strong mid-range torque, and exceptional balance when paired with Porsche’s rear-mounted transaxle layout.

Porsche isn’t only known for their ever-popular 911 sports car. This iconic German automaker has also offered other models with suitably differing designs and value propositions. Take the 944 as an example. With its squared-off design, pop-up headlamps and front-engined layout, it’s the polar opposite of the 911. Produced between 1982 and 1991, the 944 was initially naturally aspirated, but as with the 911, a turbo variant soon came onto the scene. That’s what this 1988 Porsche 944 Turbo is, and it’s done just under 94,000 miles so far. Furthermore, it’s got a manual gearbox, an electrically openable detachable roof panel, and even an extra set of wheels with slick tires in case you want to take this car to the drag strip or race track.

While Porsche’s 911 was, and still is their darling model, the Stuttgart automaker has got a fairly lengthy list of other Great Hits to enjoy. Take the 944 as an example. Made between 1982 and 1991, it was every bit the anti-911. Instead of putting the engine out back, it was placed between the front wheels. Instead of following the 911’s iconic teardrop shape, the 944 traded it for wedge-shaped styling and captivating pop-up headlamps. Today’s 1987 Porsche 944 is a bit different, because it’s got custom body panels, aftermarket wheels with spacers, and a host of upgrades. Bearing under 80,000 miles to its name, this Vermont-based modern classic sports car is a fantastic find for those who dare to be different.
