OT: Anyone ever heard of a 1982 Porsche 944, Special order with no sunroof & imported Options

[JRust]

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?

Cool...I learned a few things with this thread.

after 2 914's I got a new 83 off the showroom floor. everyone else had a 9 month wait but we were able to convince the dealer that their demo with 4k miles on it needed to be replaced and cash (my dad's) prevailed.

In 83 944 was a "rock star" car...meaning that it got the looks from everyone. out of the 14 P cars I've owned, it was the only one that was not used.

Officially when I actually had my name on the title it was used...my dad was the one who did the deal with the dealer...but b/c my brother had a new 944 (he waited 9 months) and I was a poor dude trying to raise my dad's 2 grandkids, dad did a very kind, cool thing; he shared the car with me.

I had a set of keys and permission to drive it when my dad was at work...he worked the 2nd shift so I had access to it from about 2:00 pm to midnight everyday.

While I can appreciate someone who "hates" 944's. I not only like all Porsches, I like almost all cars. but the 1983 944 will always be a very special car to me.
