    When I was younger I would never have been able to afford a 944. You need to bear in mind that when I hifinally hired one for a long weekend here in the UK it was a current Porsche model. I live near London and went to Wales for the weekend. What a wonderful time my wife and I had. Coming back down the motorway I was in convoy with two other sports cars. We did not know each other but had a great time safely getting through the traffic. A kind of mutual admiration. In my den there is a picture of a much younger version of me standing by the car outside my home. Great memories and a great car. Compliments of the season gentleman.

    So cool! Great car with a solid history. Demand is good. Get it tuned, flush the tank and get a new filter, and I bet you have a winner on your hands! Would love to have it myself, but know you’ll find a deserving owner!!

    944 are waaayyyy under-rated! I'd take one over a 911 as something cool from the 80s which you can drive everyday and work on it yourself 😀

    Dear Bros,
    This video is for the most appreciated out of the serie because it was cheap to buy and easy to let her running again. I think a possible new owner can make the car as it originally was but that all need to be checked very properly and the body needs to be painted as well. 😊

    I feel like an idiot for not buying these before they blew up on BAT. So many low mile 944, 944 S2s, sold for very cheap just a few years ago.

      Keeping in mind other “sport cars” from later years from different manufacturers the price isn’t too bad, you can still find a very nice example for about 7-10k and depending on mileage I would bounce on it, I’m currently looking into the 944s and hoping to find one and get one within a year

    I used to drive a Porsche 944 to Purcellville, VA twice a week in the 1980s. I would drive my friend, Liza, to a private school on Mondays and drive her back home on Fridays. The 944 is a joy to drive. In the 1980s, it was such a chick magnet.

    944 was a great body style.. the Turbos are now 25 grand and higher now.. How come the first thing you do on these cars isnt draining the gas tank and putting fresh gas in?? Saves injectors (and carbs) and fuel pumps from gumming up with junk. Just curious is all.

    I had a nearly identical one for 5+ years and drove it over 100K. It was a silver '84, no sunroof, sport seats, and staggered fuchs. I had to sell when moving out to Phoenix last year. I miss driving it. Where would you put this up for sale?

    My 944 always idles higher when warmed up. Guessing it’s because the engine on these expands so much so it pulls the belts tighter. Maybe a stretch to say that but that’s all I can think of

  • @FueledBy.Passion
    @FueledBy.Passion Рік тому

    You can tell the car is true mileage by looking at all the zinc plating the condition it's in in the brake assemblies the nuts and bolts brackets 67,000 mi, all of that should still look like new after a good under the engine wash and suspension components axle shafts stuff like that. It's amazing how many 944s sell very cheap and people have no clue about the seats certain parts that are worth more then the car including the wheels sometimes. Are these cars end up being owned by people who don't want to use good gas, cheap gas will eat up and deteriorate and cause you problems with injectors or fuel filters and fuel pumps. Stick to quality gas get 91 and 93 octane use fuel additives from Lucas Drive off to Indy's cars are known for not running properly if they sit way too long you have to drive these cars

      Why? Germany was still divided back then and Porsche is Stuttgart-based. So always been "in the west. West Germany only refers to "Germany not including East Germany". They would refer to themselves as GDR "German democratic republic" anyways.
