In some ways, Porsche’s 944 Turbo was ahead of its time – an agile, compact coupe with a turbo’d four-cylinder sitting at the front, but in others, it showed its age and (VW) roots.
Nevertheless, the 944 Turbo has its fan base and besides, how often do you find an unmolested, pristine example with just 5,987 miles (9,633 kilometers) on the odometer?
Finished in a Maraschino Red Metallic on the outside with a 1980s-appropriate burgundy leather interior, the 1987 Porsche 944 from Chequered Flag International comes with unused tools, sunroof bag and original books stamped to 3,311 miles with 3 services completed.
The 951-generation 944 Turbo, which notably, was the first production car to come with driver and passenger side air bags as standard equipment, featured a 2.5-liter turbocharged inline four rated at 217hp in U.S. spec hitting 60mph in 6.0 seconds.
Even though we all know that a super-low mileage car with three decades on its back doesn’t mean it’s trouble free, it would still be a tempting proposal if not for the high asking price of $36,500 on eBay.
