Post subject:  1988 944, 77,777 miles. [SOLD]

I'm moving on to Spec Racer Ford and step two (after buying the SRF) is selling my track day sweetie. My build standard was to make the best track car using the best available hardware that was capable of livable trips to and from the track + weekend jaunts. Next owner can: (1) keep her as is, (2) strip the interior, buy a cage and go race, or (3) bring her back to stock configuration and probably generate $1,500 in the process.

Basic specs are:

1988 944 n/a (short 5th gear and slight HP bump over '87)
Pretty basic options package. No LSD, no rear wiper.
Guards Red (shocker), black interior. Paint is darn good - turns heads in a good way.
Interior is very good. No dash cracks. Very original. Clock works.
Seats replaced with Recaro SRDs (recline).
77,777 miles. There are not many 5-digit 944s left on the planet.
Lots of records from the invoice ($32,000 in 1988!!!) right up to present. Some gaps back in the 1990s.
Top and front engine re-seal by Intersport at 74,000. No oil leaks. (P/S fluid doesn't count as oil, right?)
New clutch April 2009, Convenience Car Car (Timmy Tyrrell)
Timing belt, water pump done at 65,000 miles.
Superb A/C.

Track oriented upgrades:

Recaro SRD seats with sub-belt hole.
Redline bolt-in roll/harness bar.
Two sets G-Force 6 point harnesses dated 6/09, installed.
Bilstein Escort Cup Coilovers (rear t-bars deleted).
Front springs 400# rears are 600#. Yes it's a FIRM ride.
Delrin bushings:
- Torsion bar end plates
- Front and rear sway bar bushings
Front and rear 968 MO6 sway bars (rear is adjustable)
Ground Control camber plates
KLA strut tower brace
Light fiberglass bumpers, front and rear (OEM bumpers and shocks included)
Stainless braided, outer coated brake lines
Street brake pads are barely worn. Hawk HT10 track pads are at 60%.
NIB Performance Friction front brake pads. Won't need them 'til 2012!

I am asking $7,400.00. Yes that's on the high end of 944 n/as, but this is as good as a trackable 944 gets, with all major maintenance done. Pic below shows fiberglass bumpers. Front one is currently satin black, not red. Car is in Rockville but I can get bring it to Tysons Corner on a work day.

SOLD! I guess the 944 market is not completely dead.
