This 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo shows 5,300 miles and is finished in Pearl White Metallic over a Burgundy partial leather interior. The car was bought new from Mayo Motors, Inc. in Southampton, New York and driven by its original owner from 1986 to 1998, when it was taken off the road with about 5,200 miles and seldom driven. An acquaintance of the seller bought it from the original owner in mid-2018. A service by Porsche specialist Advanced Automotive Inc. following the seller’s acquisition in November 2018 included fluid changes and an A/C recharge as well as a new timing belt, ignition wires, and more. Features include an electric tilt roof, a sport steering wheel, and staggered 16″ phone dial wheels. This 951 is offered with a second Fuchs wheel set finished in white, a Porsche Production Specifications certificate, a window sticker, factory literature and tools, a stock radio, spare keys, a clean Carfax report, and a clean New York title in the seller’s name.

The car was ordered new in Pearl White Metallic (C9) and optioned with an electric tilt sunroof and a rear window wiper. Pearl White was only available as a factory option in 1986 per the seller, and this is believed to be one of about 35 examples delivered new in the finish. The exterior has been detailed and six new stone guard appliqués were added by the seller.

Close-up photos of the finish are included in the gallery below, including those showing paint depth readings and blemishes around the body. Several Sekurit glass etchings are also depicted.

Staggered-width 16″ phone dials measure 7″ wide up front and 8″ in the rear, and are equipped with Dunlop rubber showing 1986 date codes. The seller notes that the tires should be replaced prior to driving any appreciable distance.

The Burgundy interior features partial leather upholstery with a matching dash and carpets. Amenities include cruise control, an alarm, and air conditioning, which was recharged in 2018 and is noted to be working. The gallery documents seat belt tags with Porsche part numbers, seating surfaces, door jambs, and more details.

A 363mm sport steering wheel was optioned new along with a Blaupunkt Reno cassette deck. A period CD player, equalizer, and amplifier have replaced the stock stereo, which is included in the sale and shown to power on in the gallery. Just over 5,300 miles are shown on the 6-digit odometer.

The 2.5-liter turbocharged and intercooled four-cylinder engine made 217 horsepower and 243 pound-feet of torque. The top speed was advertised as 152 miles per hour and this example is equipped with a 5-speed manual transaxle. After acquiring the car in November 2018, the seller brought it to Advanced Automotive, Inc. of New Windsor, New York for replacement of the timing and accessory belts, new ignition wires, fluid changes, and more.

The water pump, power steering system, and brake lines were inspected during the recent service as detailed on a receipt in the gallery, which also contains additional underside photos. The seller states that he is able to coordinate viewing the car at Advanced Auto over the course of the auction.

Engine stamping 45G10579 can be seen in the gallery and matches the Porsche Production Specifications sheet, which also confirms the original colors and optional equipment.

Owner’s materials include literature from the original dealer, a copy of the window sticker, spare keys, a stamped maintenance booklet, manuals, an air compressor and tools, and a nose cover in a Porsche-branded box.

The seller is including a set of Fuchs wheels measuring 16×7″ and 8″ finished in Pearl White with polished lips. Dimension and offset stampings are depicted in the gallery along with Porsche part numbers 911.362.115 and 951.362.117. Date stampings are shown as 2784, 3985, 4085, and 4185. All four wheels have a 23.3mm offset. A gallery photo shows the wheels installed on a car belonging to their previous owner.

The Carfax report shows six records and one mileage entry of 5,310 in 2018. A New York state inspection sticker from 1998 at 5,253 miles is shown in the gallery, and the seller has a notification slip showing that the car’s original license plates were removed from circulation in January 2003.
