This 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo was initially sold in California, was previously sold on BaT in March 2016, and was acquired by the seller in 2021. Finished in Alpine White over Champagne partial leather, it is powered by a turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-four paired with a five-speed manual transaxle. Equipment includes Koni Sport dampers, disc brakes, 16″ BBS wheels, pop-up LED headlights, a sunroof, a rear spoiler, air conditioning, power windows, and a Bluetooth-capable Blaupunkt stereo. A timing belt service was performed in 2018, and work performed under current ownership included changing the fluids and servicing the engine, power steering, and fuel and ignition systems. This 944 Turbo shows 57k miles and is offered with a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, a Porsche Production Specifications certificate, a window sticker, sales literature, a spare set of wheels, service records, spare parts, a clean Carfax report, and a clean North Carolina title in the seller’s name.
The car is finished in Alpine White (L90E), and the driver door, as well as areas of the left side and rear were refinished in 2021. Exterior details include fog lights, pop-up LED headlights, power-adjustable side mirrors, a steel sunroof, and a rear spoiler. Paint protection film is reportedly applied to the front fascia, doors, and areas of the quarter panels.
The 16″ BBS wheels have gold centers and polished lips and are mounted with Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 tires manufactured in 2022. The suspension features Koni Sport front and rear dampers, and braking is handled by four-wheel discs. The brake fluid was flushed in 2025.
The front bucket seats and folding rear bench are trimmed in Champagne partial leather. Appointments include air conditioning, cruise control, an alarm system, power windows, and a modern Blaupunkt stereo with Bluetooth connectivity. The screen for the digital clock is foggy.
The four-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 170-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,400-rpm redline as well as gauges for coolant temperature, turbo boost pressure, oil pressure, voltage, and fuel level. The repaired six-digit odometer shows 57k miles, approximately 8k of which were added under current ownership.
The turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-four was factory rated at 217 horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque. A timing belt service was performed in 2018, and additional work since that time included replacing the following components:
- Power steering pump and hoses
- Coolant hose
- Air/oil separator
- Cylinder head gasket
- Intake manifold gasket
- Exhaust manifold gasket and studs
- Fuel rail and #1 fuel injector
- Distributor rotor and cap
- Ignition wires
- Spark plugs
- Air filter
- Fuel filter
- Engine mounts
- Hood struts
- Starter
- Heat shield
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transaxle. The clutch was replaced in 2016, and the transaxle mount was replaced in 2018. The transaxle fluid was most recently changed in 2025.
The window sticker lists initial delivery to De Anza Porsche in Riverside, California, along with factory colors, standard and optional equipment, and a total of $33,142. A Porsche Certificate of Authenticity and Porsche Production Specifications certificate are included in the sale.
The Carfax report is free of accidents and other reported damage from the initial entry in July 1991.
