    1984 Porsche 944

    1984 Porsche 944, 5 speed, 2.5L 4-cylinder. I bought this car in the fall as a "project". I have since remembered that I need another "project" about as much as I need a "polar bear".

    Here is what I know about this car: It runs and drives, and did both reasonably well in the fall. It has some sort of battery drain, which is probably attributable to some moron hot-wiring a switch to the cooling fan. (Relays aren't that expensive, cheap-bastard-previous-owner.) It has hit everything but the lottery, and was repaired by a blind or just incredibly stupid person each time. Better paintwork has been done by miscreants with spray cans on concrete. (Did I mention I'm a lousy salesman?)

    This car does have 4 brand new Good year tires. The clutch does not slip, the car does not smoke, the brakes work as they should, and I bought some good condition used seats to place the useless "racing" seats that are in it now. Which would not suffice as "racing seats" on anything faster than a shopping cart being pushed by a pregnant jersey cow.

    It is a running, driving Porsche 944 for $2500. I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't pass inspection in VT. Make me a cash offer or trade me something that doesn't require a bunch of work, and I might say yes.

    We have one of those @ my house, and I can tell you that those seats look a hell of a lot more supportive and well bolstered than the stock seats. GLWS!

    My issues with these "seats" is that you can bend them about a foot in any direction by simply pulling. Lightly.

    I think in the event of a frontal collision, someone sitting in these seats would actually hit the windshield face first, only be snapped backwards like a rubber band after the collision.

    At least the Porsche seats are rigid.

    Now somebody buy it. Comes with free heavy metal CD in Russian, which I found under the seat. I'd tell you who the artist is, but I can't read those silly gibberish symbols they call writing....

    If there were a vote for best written F/S thread of the month I vote this one.

    Thanks for the great laugh. I love these cars, but like you I think I need the Polar Bear first.

    I can think of about a hundred reasons why you need a polar bear.

    These cars are a blast to drive! I had an 86' and it was one of the most balanced cars
    I have ever driven / owned.
