This well-preserved Porsche 944 stands out with its sharp lines and smoothly contoured surfaces. Finding a one-owner, original-title vehicle is rare, and this example is a true gem. Finished in its factory-correct Slate Gray Metallic (LY7U), the exterior shines beautifully in the sunlight. Retaining as much originality as possible, this 944 is a fantastic piece for any enthusiast. The original owner has meticulously kept records and even retained the original sales pamphlet.
Powered by a 2.5L inline-4 engine, the Porsche 944 was ahead of its time. Producing 143 horsepower at 5,500 RPM and 137 lb-ft of torque at 3,000 RPM, it delivers a smooth yet engaging driving experience. Porsche engineers designed this engine with exceptionally tight piston and cylinder wall tolerances, minimizing leak-down while reducing emissions and engine noise. The advanced DME (Digital Motor Electronics) system enhances performance, ensuring reliable cold and warm starts. Paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, this Porsche provides a truly engaging driving experience that any enthusiast will appreciate.
This particular model is a 1985.5 version, officially titled as a 1985 model but benefiting from key mid-year updates. These include a redesigned dashboard, revised A-arms, rear trailing arms, spindles, transmission and mounts, improved seats and seat bolt patterns, belly pans, steering wheel height adjustment, and an upgraded fan thermostat switch. The interior remains in great shape, with no rips or tears in the seats. One of the most common issues with the 944—cracked dashboards—was improved in the 1985.5 revision, and this example remains in solid condition.
The beige interior pairs beautifully with the Slate Gray Metallic exterior, and it comes well-equipped with features such as power brakes, power steering, power locks, power windows, air conditioning, an AM/FM/Cassette radio, courtesy lights, bucket seats, a power sunroof, power hatch release, power driver’s seat, and rear fold-down seats.
Recent maintenance includes a new battery, a cleaned and dropped fuel tank, cleaned fuel lines, a new fuel filter, and a fresh oil change—ensuring this classic Porsche is ready for its next journey.
