Default FS- 86 Sapphire Metallic 951 Roller-SOLD

1986 Porsche 944 Turbo Project Car-Roller Great for LS Conversion or your engine
Sapphire Metallic, clean title, 100% California car, clean CarFax, 185K on chassis





Here’s the story. I am selling my 86 Sapphire Metallic 951. I bought this car back in 2003 and sold it. The new owner drove it for 7 months and spun a RB. I bought it back from him in 07 with a spare 91K motor I found for him, and many new parts he had purchased for the car. The engine is out and the cleaned/tanked 91K block mounted on an engine stand ready for assembly. I just can’t finish this car anymore and need to move on for various reasons. It truly is a beautiful car in a rare color. The body, paint, and clearcoat on this car are exceptional. All body effects in great shape including the metal oil pan plate. The interior is clean with typical wear for a 25 YO car, no tears but the usual cracking on the bolsters, faded hatch carpet, clock works, and comes with a Link AFM controller and programmer. The dash has 4 tiny cracks (1/8") at the defrost vents (hard to see) but none anywhere else. The car has the complete suspension, DME/KLR, IC, sealed R-12 AC system that worked fine in 04, and driveline (open diff) minus engine. I have no other wheels for it and I am looking to sell it with the CCW Track Classics 17x9/10 with 85% Fuzion ZRi ‘W’ rated tires but if sold without the wheels the buyer has to provide their own wheels/tires for shipping. The car has been non-op in storage since 2004.

SOLD

Ready-to-assemble long block motor on a stand and all the new rebuild parts, bearings, gaskets, ARP head studs, new WP, belts, rollers, reworked and cut head, micro-polished crank, all manifolds, 55# injectors (w/ resistors), too many parts to list for $950/OBO SOLD

I also have the following new in box items for sale:

Garrett DBB T3/T4R 50# wet turbo, oil restrictor,. (NIB) with modified coolant pipe for direct bolt-up…$1250 Turbo and Compressor Map

Greddy Profec B-Spec 2 EBC. (NIB)- $275 Profec B

Tial 38mm waste gate w/ SS adaptor plates and safety-wired drilled mounting hardware(NIB)- $250 Tial 38 SOLD

Russell Berry MaxTune setup w/ custom RB chip for the above set-up (NIB)- $275 MaxTune Pro and chip

I have many photos taken today in the RL album linked below.

Sapphire Metallic 951

I would love to but don't want to remove the gauges at this time. It fits terrible and has large gaps you can see through the windshield. I have the OE pillar piece the buyer of the car can swap if they like.

Awesome color. If this were in driving distance, i'd probably pick it up and swap all my stuff into this chassis.

Sad to see it go, but sometimes it's gotta happen.

GLWS!

It's not gone yet but I dread the thought of Craigslist as a last resort if RL or Pelican doesn't pan out. I need my garage back!
