My New Toy

As per request, here are some pics of my new toy.




It is a 1987 Porsche 944 turbo. ~80k miles almost completely stock except for a boost controller and chips. I have been looking for one of these on and off for the last few years, test driving several. I finally found one to my liking and picked it up last Thursday. The pics are from the PO. I haven't had time to take my own yet.

Sadly the dash is cracked, you just can't see it in the pics. The car is in good cosmetic shape, but mechanical condition is where it really shines.

I want to keep this car relatively stock. It is REALLY hard to find a stock 951. Eventually I may do a stealth MAF install. MAF instead of AFM, still in the stock location. That + chips puts an otherwise stock car in the 300bhp range.

Great looking 951 Collin! I guess you lined up an owner for your SVX or will you be keeping it for a winter beater?

The SVX has been slated for winter duty. I like the car, it needs nothing, and it will go through anything in the snow. For now, I am going to hang onto it.

Nice Collin. Thanks for offering to go check out the black 951 for me. I'm fairly positive I'm going the 968 route, but I do love the 951!

Congrat to your new toy. Looks clean and nice. How much does it cost you?

I can't tell from the pic but do you have an airbag on the steering?

Suby Fan is correct. Driver and passenger air bags. I picked this one up for $8700.

Sorry, I don't check this forum to much anymore.. reason I asked is I'm checking autotrader for some local ones. Check out this sweet 944 http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...=en&cardist=60

I would personally never own one, from what I hear the upkeep is costly. I couldn't imagine the fixit bills for the 928's/968's, having V8's in some models

Yeah, that's a nice one for sure. It's wild how much people can invest. It looks new and in the photos it does look like a toy.
