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! |

Lookin' good! What did you use for ceramic coat and what are you impression of application and final appearance? Considering it for my 914. @flacaproductions The product is Armor Shield IX from Avalon King https://avalonking.com/ Looks great & not difficult to apply, however it needs to cure indoors for several days. There is a lot of information on their website. Liked it so much that I did my 986 as well and will apply it to the 914 when I get time. The prep is time consuming as it requires the following steps: Iron remover Clay Bar Compound Polish Ceramic Optional Top Coat to extend the life of the Cermaic Coat which seems worth it given the amount of prep required. ![]() ![]() |
