One-Owner 1987 Porsche 944 5-Speed

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Introduced for 1982, the Porsche 944 built upon the transaxle platform established by the 924 while adding wider bodywork, improved performance, and more refined road manners. Praised for its near-perfect weight distribution and predictable handling characteristics, the 944 became one of Porsche's most successful models of the RADwood era. Today, 944s remain popular among enthusiasts for their balanced driving dynamics, practical hatchback design, and connection to Porsche's front-engine, transaxle era.

This 1987 Porsche 944 was purchased new by the seller and is powered by a 2.5-liter inline-four paired with a five-speed manual transaxle. Finished in black over light gray leather upholstery, the car is equipped with 15" Phone Dial alloy wheels, pop-up headlights, rear spoiler, and more. According to the accompanying Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, the car was originally finished in Pastel Yellow and was subsequently refinished in black.

Notable maintenance reportedly includes replacement brake components, hood struts, tires, battery, timing belt service, and other general maintenance. Service records and various documentation are included in the sale as shown in the gallery.

This one-owner 1987 Porsche 944 is now offered at no reserve with manufacturer's literature, a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, service records, a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report, and a clean New York State title in the seller's name.

Ownership History

The seller purchased this Porsche new in 1987, and the CARFAX Vehicle History Report reflects registration history exclusive to New York State.

From the seller: “I am the original owner and hate to part with such a wonderful automobile. The car has been meticulously maintained throughout its life, stored during the winter months, and continues to run and drive exceptionally well. It retains its original drivetrain components and is accompanied by extensive documentation, including records for brake service, timing belt replacement, and other maintenance performed over the years. The car has never been involved in an accident, remains rust-free, and still draws compliments whenever I take it out for a drive. I have kept 39 years of service records starting on June 1, 1987”
