1987 Porsche 944 Description

1987 Porsche 944 Turbo. A nice car that runs, drives, and looks good, but the turbo has been modified so it can not be registered for the street in California as it sits. The car does come with what looks like enough of the original pieces to be converted back to stock, but we can not guarantee this. (see photo)We purchased this car with the idea of making it a track car since the car would not pass smog and the odometer wasn't working. After driving it for a few days, we realized that it was too nice to turn into a track car. It's a clean 944 Turbo that runs a drives very well and would make a great driver for someone not living in CA or any other state with strict smog regulations. There are no service records with the car only the Carfax report showing previous smog inspections.
Mechanically it runs and drives well. It starts right up and idles nicely. The clutch feels right, and the brakes are strong, which is good because the turbo puts out quite a bit of power! The airflow meter was replaced with a non-CARB approved unit, thus the car does not pass CA smog. Abaco DBX 85mm mass air meter and K&N cone currently installed. Old parts appear to be present along with some other spares but not sure if everything needed to swap it back is there. The original owners manual shows the car was purchased new from Milton Ruben Porsche Audi in Georgia on 05/12/87. Per the Carfax, it came to CA in 2001 and has had at least 2 owners since new. Per a notebook included with the car on Sept 15, 2014 with 137,597 miles showing the odometer stopped working. The notebook last entry on Dec 16, 2015 estimates the miles at 138,139. We repaired the damaged odometer cable and the now the odometer is working properly but it understated by at least 1K miles so it is being sold as True Miles Unknown.
Factory special order color of Diamond Blue Metallic (LM5U) with grey interior. The paint looks good for it's age, but it does have the usual chips and scratches that a 30 year old car gets. Roof and hood look to have been repainted at some time. Rest of the car looks like original paint with fading on the rear bumper and gas filler door.Inside, the upholstery and carpets look good, but the carpet in the hatch area is beginning to look worn.Original spare and tools are present. The dashboard has a few cracks near the defroster vents (see photo) and the clock readout is bad. Dash lights are also not working. They did work with rotation of the dimmer but now that doesn't seem to work. Power windows, seat and mirror all work, and even the AC is still cold.
A rare car with a Low Reserve.
