The Porsche 944 arrived in 1982, building on the transaxle platform established by the 924 but elevating it with a significant upgrade: a Porsche-designed engine. Unlike its predecessor's Audi-sourced powerplant, the 944 featured a 2.5-liter inline-four, derived from half of the 928's V8, making it the first production car to use such a large four-cylinder. This gave the 944 a distinctly Porsche character, known for its superb balance, thanks to the front-engine, rear-transaxle layout, and impressive handling that quickly earned it critical acclaim and a loyal following. It became one of Porsche's most successful models of its era, bridging the gap between the entry-level 924 and the more expensive 911. This 1984 Porsche 944 presents a compelling opportunity for the dedicated enthusiast. Finished in a timeless black, this coupe features the original 2.5L inline-four engine paired with an automatic transmission. Showing 98,000 miles on the odometer, this example has been off the road for fifteen years and is described by the seller as needing a total overhaul. This is not a running car, but rather a blank canvas for a comprehensive restoration, offering the next owner the chance to revive a classic Porsche to their exact standards. For the enthusiast eager to undertake a rewarding project, this 944 offers a chance to bring a beloved transaxle Porsche back to its former glory.
