As to myself, I am not a dealer, just a (62) year old kid that loves muscle cars. For my work, I manage a Correctional Facility here in Maine and have worked there for over (38) years. I am also a respected member of my community. I mention this only so that prospective buyers will have some idea as to who they are dealing with. Some of the "Best of the Best in 1984" Winner of Super Bowl XVIII: L.A. Raiders Winner of the Academy Award for Best Picture: Amadeus Winner of the World Series: Detroit Tigers Named one of 1984's 10 Best Cars by Car and Driver: 944 Porsche The Porsche 944 is everything that the Porsche 924 wasn’t, and it has finally given legitimacy to Porsche’s efforts to become a power in the world of front-engine, rear-drive cars. One of our favorite engines, ever since 1977, has been the Porsche 928’s overhead-cam V-8. It turns out that slicing a Porsche V-8 down the middle results in a line four that is very nearly as lovable as the V-8 from which it sprang. Porsche had to add Mitsubishi’s Silent Shafts to damp out the four-cylinder vibrations, but what they came up with was a great engine, and what that engine powers is a great sports car in the great Porsche tradition. If we all owned 944s, we’d never be able to hold our jobs. The temptation to veer off toward the mountains every day on our respective ways to work would overpower us sooner or later, and mountain roads would replace career paths as the most important things in our lives. At a price of around $21,000, it is a bargain. The 944 defines the term “driver’s car.” What it does is what car enthusiasm is all about. Drive it with Patrick Bedard’s studied, surgical precision, or Don Sherman’s hang- it-out-there-and-see-what-happens abandon, and either way you’ll always love it. Specifications: VEHICLE TYPE: Front-engine, rear-wheel-drive, 2+2-passenger, 3-door coupe BASE PRICE: $21,440 ENGINE TYPE(S): 4-in-line, aluminum block and head, Bosch L-Jetronic fuel injection Displacement: 151 cu in, 2479cc Power (SAE net): 143 bhp @ 5500 rpm TRANSMISSION(S): 5-speed, 3-speed auto DIMENSIONS: Wheelbase: 94.5 in Length: 170.0 in Curb weight: 2830 lbs FUEL ECONOMY: EPA city driving: 21-22 mpg I normally write tons of information about my cars. See my other Corvette ad and you will see what I mean. However, this Porsche is simply like new. It is a 1984 Porsche 944 with a 4-cylinder engine and a 5-speed manual transmission with what I believe is Sapphire exterior paint. It has only 42,000 miles on it and absolutely everything works as it should. Everything. OK, the hood lift supports need to be replaced but that's it. A two-owner car originally purchased by one brother and then given to his brother. Isn’t brotherly love great? The previous owner had many cars and hardly ever drove this Porsche. He sadly passed away four years ago this July and the car has been setting in dry storage since his untimely death. I simply purchased a new battery and fired it up. The car is completely rust free and the interior and exterior is in excellent condition. It starts, runs, shifts, brakes as it should with absolutely no excuses. The Porsche comes with all manuals (Before anyone asks, I do know that the manuals say '83 but this is a 1984. I am assuming that it was an early 84 built car and they used the left over 83 manuals.), two sets of keys, four lock nut keys for the wheels, and a few cassette tapes that you can play while you are cruising the streets. If you ever wanted to buy your daughter or son a Porsche, without breaking the bank, this is your opportunity to be their hero.
