0 0 1 671 3825 Goodman Reed Corporation 31 8 4488 14.0 Normal 0 false false false EN-US JA X-NONE Offered for sale is an absolutely gorgeous, 34k original mile, extremely original, dealer serviced 1990 Porsche 944 S2 Cabriolet, finished in perpetually tasteful Baltic Blue Metallic over a Linen interior. Delivered new to its first owner by Strong Porsche Audi in Salt Lake City, Utah, the car would remain in the Park City, UT area until 2006, when it was sold with only 11k miles to its second owner in Arizona. Six years later the car was sold to its third and most recent owner, a semi-retired gentleman from Virginia with a vacation home in Hilton Head, South Carolina. Each of the car’s owners always ensured that the car was exceptionally well cared for, always keeping it garaged and maintained and always using it sparingly as a prized weekend driver. The car’s finish is exceptionally clean, 100% original and marred only by the most minor of imperfections, none of which are significant enough to appear in the pictures or detract from the car’s considerable appeal. Never in an accident, the body is factory straight and correct, retaining entirely consistent panel fits and gaps. The glass and rubber are in the excellent condition one would expect of a well cared for 34k original mile car and the factory wheels are exceptionally clean and wrapped in Goodyear tires with plenty of remaining tread. The car’s interior is practically virginal, the Linen leather seats and original carpets showing virtually no wear whatsoever, the interior panels flawless and the dash entirely free of cracks, housing fully functional, all original gauges and components, including the original Blaupunkt head unit. The soft top is original and shows only negligible wear and the car comes with its original boot cover, which is also in excellent original condition. Always well maintained despite its sparing use, the car is also extremely strong mechanically, the original, normally aspirated, dual overhead 3.0L Ventiler engine starting effortlessly, idling consistently and pulling strongly and smoothly through each of the 5-speed transmission’s gears. Compression is excellent across all cylinders and the car’s road manners are impeccable. What’s more, as a 993 owner and driver, I can honestly say that while quite different, the 944 S2 is surprisingly quick and the experience from behind the wheel is thoroughly satisfying and unique to Porsches. Religiously maintained throughout its 34k miles, the car recently had a $4k+ service performed by the Porsche dealership, notably replacing the timing and water pump. A clean Carfax report, all of the original books and manuals and a stack of service records accompany the sale. It’s becoming awfully difficult to find unmolested, low mileage examples, and considering that only 2,402 NA 944 S2 Cabriolets were produced over the three year production run, this is undoubtedly one of the finest remaining 944s - certainly that’s available on the market today. This is a rare opportunity to acquire an incredible, low mileage, extremely original example, one that can be thoroughly enjoyed as it continues to follow its Porsche brethren in the appreciation curve. This is a truly special 944 S2 Cabriolet, worthy of the garages of both the weekend enthusiast and the seasoned collector. We want this car to go to great home and would be happy to answer any questions, so please feel free to email or call me at 805-708-2404. Goodman Reed Motorcars We’ve always had an appreciation for classic European cars and over the years have created an eclectic rotating collection. We only buy cars that we’d personally be interested in owning and generally only sell them to make room for other acquisitions. That time has come for this Porsche (if the price is right, of course – this isn’t a fire sale). We try to give accurate descriptions of the cars we’re selling, but we’re enthusiasts, not experts, and we encourage and are happy to help facilitate personal or professional inspections. But please do so before bidding, as the alternative harms our ability to make sales to other interested parties who have done their proper due diligence before bidding. For U.S. buyers a 10% non-refundable deposit is required within 3 days of the auction’s end, the balance to be paid within 7 days of the auction’s end. Foreign buyers must pay in full within 7 business days of the auction’s end. Buyer is responsible for shipping, however we’d be more that happy to help with recommendations and arrangements. The car is listed locally and we reserve the right to end the auction at any time should it sell prior to auction’s end. Thanks for your interest.
