No One Bid On This V8 Swapped Porsche 944 Turbo at Auction... SO WE BOUGHT IT!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 тра 2023
- We bought a 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo with a chevy 5.7l V8 engine swap! A base 944 goes from about 150HP to about 400HP with the swap. We got this Porsche cheap at auction sight unseen and we're thinking to either sell it for a profit or keep it longer term. No one wanted to bid on the auction so we ended up getting it cheap! We've had many dirt cheap Porsche 944s and Boxsters, but it's very rare to find them with an LT1/LS1 motor conversion. What do you think of this beast?

I wonder why you don’t share the $ numbers, yet ask viewers to decide whether to keep or sell. I mean it obviously comes down to numbers for you.
Surprisingly other than the 5.7V8, this Porsche is really well taken care of. Quite a nice little Sleeper too, more than double the base power.
944's are what brought me to your channel. Great to see you still buying them! Thanks a lot guys.
Keep the Porsche content coming!!!!
That’s no Porsche anymore
Cool V8 swapped 944 .The LS 3 is a little bit lighter motor than a SBC 350 because its aluminum but an iron block LS 1 is about the same weight as an SBC 350 . I have a SBC V8 swapped 944 myself and they are a blast . Ive had mine 20 years and its had many changes over the years .Once you get used to working on them they are fairly simple. I used a 944 Hybrids kit out of Texas on mine . I just put a slick paint job on it last year and added some motor mods as well as a glass sunroof . I have a few videos of it on my channel .Thanks for sharing your find .
You guys need to find someplace you can drive faster than 35mph.😁
Three great things combined Jr Garage, Porsche 944, and a good ol V8!!!
Loving the 944 content! My dad had a mid 80s red 944, pretty sure i have an old school photo of me standing up holding the steering wheel (I’d have been 2 at the time!)
What a beautiful set up! Everything just seemed right with that car.
this looks really like there was never been another engine in this car, it fits perfectly and 400HP, this is the power it deserves......
The 5.7 is what was in the Pontiac Trans AM GTA and possibly the Camaro Iroc-Z for that time. We were still coming out of the Era of low horsepower and focusing on better miles per gallon. This and the Ford Mustang 5.0 started changing and the Vettes started to get back to where they should be, also. Speaking of Vettes (Corvette), guys should buy a couple!
L98 was in GTA and IROC, LT1 was in 93-97 4th gen
That is a cool swap. Make the profit while you can. Good flip. 👍
I was bidding on this one till the end and stopped so I guess it was you guys that won it lol. My cars were selling on that Sunday at Barrett Scottsdale.
Love any and all Porsche content!🎉
Man! At only $11,000 you bought thing cheap! Congrats
Nice watchable channel guys! You always make it interesting, and honest, the love for the things you do come over really well! Good luck to you, and will keep watching the vids.....
Man these cars look absolute bonkers! Really cool
Should definitely do a "selling 7 cars in 7 days" that hanger is bumper to bumper with an inch between each car
Kudos to you for recognizing the hidden gem!✌
Good eye... great find!
Hi Bros,
The new owner of Porsche 944 Turbo is blessed with such a semi classic car what runs perfectly..
lokk forward to your nest vlog and send you love from the Netherlands
Watching from the U.K, have owned quite a few 944 turbo models including a nice late model which with some upgrades had around 300 bhp which we took round the Nurburgring.
This looked like a really good conversion, never seen a v8 swapped 944 here in the uk but sure it would be a huge amount of fun in such a well balanced car.
Vantage is a sweet car guys yesterday's video was unique,,, exited for this video thanks brothers
With the advent of the turbo i would say turbo restoration is worth it
It would be great to hear the profit / loss numbers on the 944 LS.
That exhaust sounds great! I always wanted to swap one of these I almost bought a blew up one 15years ago for 2k but couldn’t
Man wish I could buy such a thing over here, you're lucky with the auctions lol! Would love to own a 944 with a v8 engine :D
Pull the boat anchor and swap an LS7 in it .
SELL IT !! Great Vlog .........Bless
$11k was a steal for this. Nice non turbos around me go for about 8k. Beat ones are $4-6k.
Great video, well done, move it on, take a small turn and let someone else take possession...
Dude!!! I NEED that V8 944!!
Keep the swaps coming
Nice start to my day …… Christian fix🥰😍😘
SELL IT!!! If it Makes Money, It Makes Sense. Next Car, New Content. Nuff Said................
The real sweet conversion is the LS-2 6.0 all aluminum engine 400hp vs 300 of the LT-1. Renegade hybrids has a few videos of 944, 911, 928, 914, Boxters and 968 LS conversions. The big thing right now is to find a Boxster, 993 or 996 that had an ISB failure and the engine is junk to slap an LS into.
Wow i love it.. i hope i can build a 944 with a TT V10 someday
That was an awesome car! Also any update on that 981 GTS?
Replace that LT1 with an LS3. ❤
Hold on a minute, 0:34, was that a Porsche 914 I just saw??
yep
I bought one just like it, new, in 1975
Love all the "leaves you scratching your head" cars in the garage, it's honestly at times even more entertaining than a lot of high HP builds or supercar content.
You guys must be in a buying frenzy! And we love it! 😉
Got 20 more to reveal
@@JRGarage same boring cars, get something fun, very repetitive content,
Omg dont listen to this guy he should go watch another channel instead if he dont like the content
Yeah honestly, I'd probably do front lip, wheels and tires, and paint match the spoiler the literally leave it alone. That's nice
My brother did a 928 motor swap of a chevy v8 to a 928 porche it was very smooth
I want to see that 914! Looks like maybe a 74 2.0?
You need a bigger garage/storage facility for your vehicles. I have always loved the exterior styling of the 944.
perfect vegas car! i happen to live in Vegas!
That’s pretty sweet
Being a fan of 944's this is my dream. A v8 944. I need this car
That is absolute bonkers! you guys sell these cars too?
I would muffle the pipe a bit more on this car and enjoy the under the hood noise
I would’ve kept it, but prob better if someone else can use it and take good care of it. Excellent example of a 944 tho!
Really cool car, transformation with a v8! Only needs a 3 piece, split rim conversion on those wheels?
Naah you said 7 cars / week. So now it's official.. 😂😂
944ever!
That Porsche is fire.
Inspired to throw a v8 in my 944🙏🏽
You guys are awesome
944 i had a Porsche 944 in my garage last year it is Flat ...and then a big Engine!!!! Booom greetz from france!
Definitely sounds supercharged
i would love to see the 944 swapped with the 928 V8.
Not happening, too wide with the OHCs.
Crazy how it’s same color as first 944
What auction do y’all go to to get the cars? Just wondering.
Thinking of LS swapping an automatic 944. Wondering what I would have to do to about the trans…
the power steering pump makes the car!
The c4 lt1 is iron block its about 100 lbs heavier than an ls1
V8-944 ehh good sale i'm sure you got a tad over 22k for it ;-) keep the content coming
We need a full car collection video
First car in 02 was a 86!Porsche 944 Turbo, they’re such awesome cars. I took really good care of mine and it was beyond fast with a few mods and handled like it was on rails.
I love manuals if your giveing one away definitely put me in the raffle
Great flip.
Nice car. Would be a ton of fun, but when you have 50 cars including that gorgeous 911 LS you do not need it.
Why don't they need it ? Oh wait you're jealous.
@@stoneman8110 Hell yes, I am green with envy. I think these guys have a great collection.
Is the 3rd car a lime green 914 ??
It is supercharged you can see it on the left of the engine
Wondered who picked this up, saw it there and wished I would have been registered because I knew it would be stolen based on going the last day no reserve. .. It was for sale on FB market local out of SunCity for 25k. Guy didn't respond to me. I already have an lt1 944, almost identical, but this has a nicer exterior.
No deep emotional connection means profit. However…this may have been a keeper with HOT 944 market
7:07 30 seconds worth of keyboard massage on the old Googler and you paid $11,000 plus fees.
Hey, why no Merch? I mean, you’re my local boys here. Shirt, sticker ??? Gotta rep our locals 👍🏻👊🏻
What happened to 3 days
what price would you let it go for?
When’s the 997 LS3 going for sale 👀👀👀
WISH YOU WOULD DO MORE ENGINE SWAP VIDS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Couldn't register it in California, lol
Yeah I think about that all the time when I'm watching these videos going. I can't do that now. I can't do that. No I can't buy that. No I can't do that
Where's that hot girlfriend of yous, she was sick! 😂😂😂😂
The people want to see some corvettes!
I want THAT!
What happened to the 7 car reveals in 7 days special? I was enjoying the new content.
front heavy?
Damn haha, so a V8 DOES fit in there 🤔 Im saving up cash and I can't make my mind up between one of these or a mk3 supra 😭
May I please have this car it’s beautiful
A V12 Porsche? - Well put an AUDI V10 in a Porsche 928! At least the V10 sounds incredible.
Price paid and price sold?
I live down the road from y’all. Help me find a 944 turbo to restomod. I need a 944 to compliment my Macan s. (Which is the best sounding Macan S on this planet 😜)
Did they say what they paid at auction for it, I didn't catch that.
too bad it had to go , its sick
Persian king______ finish the sentence. 🎣
Too bad about that LT1. I loved mine back in the day but it’s old at this point and has inherent issues. Cool car though.
I wouldn't bit on that either
How would I get into contact about sponsorship?
keep the aston
Definitely sounds like a 70s Chevy muscle car.
