This 1987 Porsche 944 Turbo was purchased at auction in Houston, Texas in 1991 and remained in that area until it was acquired by the previous owner in 2010 and relocated to Webster, New York. There he replaced the stock 2.5-liter turbocharged inline-four with another engine from a similar car that had ~80k miles at the time of installation. Paired to a stock 5-speed manual, the engine has been upgraded with numerous Lindsey Racing products, a Speedforce Racing 4″ header, and a 3″ downpipe. In addition, the car was repainted and a new front splitter, side skirts, and wider rear fenders. The seller bought the car in February 2017 and has replaced the front crank seal, timing and balance shaft belts, starter, front springs, and more. A clean AutoCheck report and service records from current ownership are included, and the car is being sold on a clean North Carolina title in the seller’s name.

Originally painted in Maraschino Red Metallic (LY3V), the car was repainted Graphite Grey (LM7W) by the previous owner. The car has no history of any accidents, though the previous owner reported that the passenger side front fender was repaired and repainted after an object fell on it. The body has been modified with a GT Racing front splitter and fiberglass hood, custom side skirts, 968-style side mirrors, and custom rear fenders that are 2″ wider than stock units. The hood’s fitment is slightly imperfect, and is detailed in the provided images below.

Black Victor Equipment Innsbruck wheels measure 18×9″ up front, and 18×10.5″ with 2″ spacers out the back. New Sumitomo HTR Z III tires were fitted up front one month ago. The Toyo Proxes R888 tires in the rear will need to be replaced soon, and the car is said to need an alignment.

Inside, power seats feature Porsche script cloth inserts, with the driver’s seat showing some split seams and wear to the bolsters. Additional stock equipment includes power windows and locks, and cruise control. A Momo Monte Carlo steering wheel has been added, along with a short throw shift kit and red leather shifter/boot with aluminum cap. The center console and armrest are wrapped in carbon fiber film, and a boost/AEM wideband gauge cluster is mounted on the pillar, though it is not operating correctly. The digital clock in the dash and the sunroof motor are not working, and the license plate lights are out. The gauges are functioning properly and the 129,952 miles indicated on the odometer are considered accurate by the seller. An uninstalled Pioneer head unit and four Pioneer door speakers are also included.
