There have been several recent posts about members acquiring 928s & 924s and I have just picked up this 1986 944 Turbo!
    This is a one owner car with a Clean CarFax that was purchased new from Steve Taub in Santa Monica with extensive maintenance history. Paint is pretty oxidized from being outside the last few years. It has got original Fuchs and optional Limited Slip Differential. After taking care of some deferred maintenance, I am going to drive this thing like crazy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) If values continue to pop, I will paint it in the spring and decide whether to keep her or not based on the ownership experience. With values on the rise for transaxle cars, it looks like their time has come! |

Yay, another 951 owner! They really are pretty amazing cars. A lot of the maintenance is not too bad on them, such as timing and balance belts, water pump, etc, but they definitely have their own unique challenges.
If you want, check out the video my brother did on my car: Transaxle Greatness: Why the 944 Turbo is an 80s icon Seems like there’s a number of 944 owners here, so be sure to ask if you need advice. Also Rennlist 944 Turbo sub-forum is a huge resource. For parts, check out Paragon Parts, Lindsey Racing (dangerous waters!), Only944, 944Online. Have fun! |
