So I came across this 944. Thought it was weird that it had no sunroof from the factory. Even weirder is it is a 1982 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . I've never seen an 82? I thought they started production in 83 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) . Check out the interior. supposedly also from the factory. Car was imported 4 years ago from Germany. I only have a few pics & just wanted to see if what your consensus was (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I love the color. Not sure if this is an extremely rare car? Or just a unique one?

Too bad, and I must comment here , your loss.

I love ALL Porsches, and find the more diverse they have become, the more entertaining.

I thought long and hard on the Panamera and the Cayenne's role in society, but must say, they have their places, maybe not in my garage, just yet........

The 944 line has its detractors, but I will say, it led me to take a look at other models of Porsche lineage in comparison, and bang for the buck, are un-beatable in their merit / versus / cost / versus longevity. To say nothing of their undeniable road holding and track capabilities. I love our 2.0 teener, but have just as much love for my other Porsches......even the 944.

In many ways they are my most favorite Porsche. When we choose a long tour, involving more than 500 -1000 miles, I much rather drive a 44 than our 911 or the 914. When one gets out after a long drive, you feel like you could really start all over again.
