Overview of 1986 Porsche 944 For Sale by Owner

Would you like a classic Eighties Porsche that isn’t a 911? True, the 911 is the definitive classic Porsche, but why not stand out from the crowd? After all, Porsche did make some interesting models, such as the 944. Produced between 1982 and 1991, the 944 is a front-engined sports car that was offered in coupe and cabriolet forms. If its interesting shape is alluring to your eyes, why not buy this 68,000-mile 1986 Porsche 944 that’s available with us? It’s well-equipped, and will provide you with that signature driving pleasure that Porsches are known for.

Exterior and Interior

Wearing a slick red coat, you’ll definitely be drawn towards this 1986 Porsche 944. Its black striping and lovable pop-up headlamps are all defining features, as is its glass rear liftback, black lower quarters, and five-spoke alloy wheels. We’re told that the headlamps are halogen units for better visibility. The car looks in cosmetically great condition, and its rarity ensures head-turning power as you cruise through populated areas. This 1986 Porsche 944 can seat two adults and two children in a black cabin with leather-upholstered seats that sport red detailing. The cabin is well-equipped as you’d expect; you’ll receive air conditioning, power-adjustable front seats, power windows, power mirrors and power door locks. The beautiful analog gauge cluster bears the signature Porsche font, and there’s a lovely Eighties-era radio cassette player waiting to serenade you. Meanwhile, you’ll be amazed at the surprisingly spacious trunk that’s accessed via the large glass rear liftback.

Engine

Packing a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine, this 1986 Porsche 944 comes with enough power to enjoy; yet not too much to catapult you off the road. It’s an excellent learning tool, as you’ll be deploying up to 150hp to the rear wheels via a lovely 5-speed manual gearbox. Ventilated disc brakes on all four wheels are present to bring you to a swift stop when required. Thanks to the car’s nearly even weight distribution, you’ll enjoy well-balanced handling characteristics, accompanied by an interesting engine note as you climb up the rev range with eagerness.

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.
