Overview of 1985 Porsche 944 For Sale by Owner

Owning a classic Porsche is not for the faint of heart. Getting your hands on a classic Porsche 911 is relatively easy; keeping that classic German beauty running at its best can be a challenge for many looking to experience classic sports car ownership. Present today are all the joys of owning a classic Porsche, minus the trouble of owning one, and it takes shape with this lovely 1985 Porsche 944. With a reported 158,600 miles on its clock, this could be your ticket into classic sports car ownership and then some, thanks to massive aftermarket support.

Exterior and Interior

The Porsche 944 is fast becoming a mainstay in collections worldwide. Its design has been far too overlooked, but now makes its presence known. This 1985 Porsche 944 dons a lovely garnet red exterior that highlights every single curve and design cue this classic Porsche has to offer. A step back reveals a clean exterior with all its factory exterior components intact; you even get a set of period-correct wheels with the Porsche crest present as well. This 1985 Porsche 944, being a relatively low-mileage example, means you get an interior cabin that takes you back to its golden years. Step in and you are transported back to the 80s thanks to a light brown interior cabin showcasing a period correct Porsche steering wheel and dashboard, a look at the rear and you even have space for two passengers to cruise in style and live up those driving memories.

Engine

Rear-engined performance is nice, but don't discount Porsche's magic with the opposite. The Porsche 944 may not have been a machine that stood out, but with a bit of fine-tuning and enhancements, you have yourself a real treat to enjoy. Save yourself the trip of going to the rear, pop open the hood of this 1985 Porsche 944, and what you will find neatly nestled in is none other than a 2.5L inline four motor chugging along and ready for its new custodians' plans. While its engine might be up front, this classic 944 shares the same power delivery as a 911 and channels all its performance to its rear wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission, giving you complete control.

1988 Porsche 944 Turbo

Current Ask
SOLD

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.
