Nice score! I've had a low-level hankering for a transaxle car for a really long time - a (new) 944 was the first Porsche I ever drove, as a teenager. Love the styling and the handling is tops. If I weren't in Calif I very likely would've bought a 951 years ago. I do kinda like the phone dials on the early 928s.

Last week friend Rick found me incredible 17" 993 Cup II wheels in 7" & 9" that had been nicely chromed (I love chrome inspite of what Porscheophiles think) and last night had Riken Raptors put on in 225/45R17 front and 255/40R17 rear (just 10mm less than my Cayman S wide).
Noticeable improvement in handling from wider grip and lower aspect ratio tires AND at the same time a great improvement in looks (sorry, not a phone dial fan). This car just moved from being great to being incredible.....and now it is ME and not the PO!

I've had an '84 944, a '88 951 with a LS Motor and my current '89 S2
with 914s going Up & Up in price, a 944 is a Great alternative     |

Best of both worlds is a 914 AND a 944!
And I love your wheels on each of the cars above. My friend Rick's has the ones on the white one on top and I wanted those first. But the offset changed big time between the 944.1 and 944.2. I could get the wheels but at about $750 each and the look is completely different as deep dish cannot be had with new offset. I also loved your gold ones but heard too many Porscheophiles would complain. Would have liked an S2 but golly! Outa my budget.....nice one you have. No question the ultimate 944. NICE! GN |

Here is my oldest son’s with turbo twists that I got free off of the bird board. I like your cup wheels as well.

SWEET Ben! Brown interior? Mine is tan. Love it but would have liked darker leather a bit more.
BTW, re my 914 being restored in original paint Malaga Red as we speak - friend found me an original brown 914 interior in very good condition that I'm putting in after paint - even door cards - wanted to wait on posting that until I got it in - will be in spring most likely. GN |
