11/26/2013 Update: This Porsche has been sold to Chicago. Best of luck to the new owner!

From 11/23/2013:

1986 Porsche 944 Cup Car (chassis WP0ZZZ94ZGN455888) is one of 31 factory built 944 Cup cars originally constructed for the Rothmans Challenge Series in Canada. Drivers in that Series included the likes of Scott Goodyear, Paul Tracy and Ron Fellows. Imported from Canada in 2003 and driven by the late Joe Hrymack to two national championships in 2006 and 2007 in 944 Cup Racing. Joe spared no expense in making this car the best it could be. Serviced and supported by well respected Porsche specialist, Bodymotion of Oceantownship, NJ, the car comes with a spectacular history of all service and performance work including a recent refreshening of the engine. It is now available in Mt Kisco, New York for $27,900.

The car was raced on the Rothmans Series all through 1986 and 1987. It ran at all the races including Mosport, Montreal, Mont-Tremblant, Sanair and Shannonville, and finished mid to back of the pack at the hands of its first owner, an amateur driver. Included with the sale is the Canadian CASC log book documenting it’s history.

It was purchased by Hrymack in 2002 and he set out immediately to make the car as competitive as possible. He tore it apart and rebuilt the engine to a very high standard. Not until Joe Hrymack bought and sorted the car with tons of effort and research did he and the car get great results. He attacked the service and set up like not very many other racers who don’t have professional teams behind them. No expense was spared. The receipts are voluminous. Joe is shown below following his victory at Mid-Ohio, which is referenced here on Rennlist in 2007 by forum poster “944Cup” who congratulates Joe on the win and states that “Joe has the car prepared in its original Rothmans livery and is in such fine shape that it could win a Concours event.”

The car was last competitively raced by Hrymack before he passed away in 2011. The most recent owner used it as a Driving Event car and was not a competitive driver but took good care of it, and Bodymotion did a refreshening of the car in August of 2012. The interior features a pristine factory dash with supplemental gauges. The cage and floors are finished in the same red as the exterior, and all the details inside show a high degree of care.

The seller says that Joe spent over $30,000 in the built of the engine alone using sodium filled valves, knife edge crankshaft, high compression JE pistons and anything that was available to make this the most competitive 944 out there. It runs on C16. This is a rare opportunity to own a factory built race car with an interesting history for a very affordable price.
