1986 Porsche 944 Turbo

Name another 30-year-old car that can still run with the big dogs both on the street and on the track like this 39,601 actual mileage 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo. Few cars represent bigger bang for the buck, and this immaculately maintained coupe still commands respect wherever it goes, never mind the fact that it's also a blast to drive.The 944 Turbo continues in Porsche's tradition of building serious driver's cars. There's no evidence that it was ever raced or abused, and unlike many of its siblings, it hasn't been chopped and gutted to make a track day special. Instead this highly original example has its correct Guards Red bodywork (a legendary Porsche color.) It looks fantastic today, especially with the Turbo's updated styling w/integrated bumper. The practical side of this front fascia carries large fog lamps and extra cooling ducts. Fit and finish are typically Porsche excellent and even the black rubber trim like the rear spoiler and weather stripping is smooth and supple. It even carries the iconic "phone dial" 16-inch alloy wheels, and their condition tells you this is one cared for coupe.The interior is as pure a driving environment as you'll find. Designed by the same guys who win at Lemans, it has hints of its legendary 911 brother with those supportive leather buckets. Of course it all looks great because low mileage also means little time for fade and wear. Clear analog gauges are straightforward, and the manual shifter is the best one this side of a Mazda Miata's joystick. Just about everything was standard (this IS a Porsche, after all) including air conditioning, power windows, power locks, power seats, sunroof, and cruise control. The original 80s vintage stereo has been replaced by a great-sounding Blaupunkt AM/FM/CD head unit that allows for modern Bluetooth and iPod connections. This 944's numbers-matching turbocharged and fuel-injected motor puts out a robust 217 horsepower from just 2.5 liters. Canted over at an angle for a lower center of gravity, it makes big torque at low speeds. The lightweight nature makes these cars a little pocket-rocket, and the rear-mounted five-speed transmission means that the car has almost ideal 50/50 weight distribution. Add in features like four-wheel disc brakes, power steering, and Porsche's legendary engineering prowess for the fully independent sport suspension, and you realize this is blast to drive anytime. But there is a practical side to this purchase, too. Decades of expert maintenance means that it's turn-key ready, and the impressively clean undercarriage is more proof that the car has led an easy life as a fair-weather toy.Complete with owner's manual and maintenance records, this is a complete and classic Porsche that is well within reach.
