With much regret I am selling my beloved and cherished 1989 Porsche 944 Turbo. Black over linen. Turbo S package with M30 option. 106,200 miles but in outstanding condition. Condition is so good in fact, it won 5 1st place wins in the Porsche Club Concours in 2005-2006! I have all the trophys, including the trophy for 2005 PCA Concours D'Elegance Grand Champion! The car is that nice. I also have tens of thousands of dollars in reciepts for this car, its been maintained to the absolute maximum by one of the best Porsche Turbo mechanics in the country. Gearbox rebuilt, new K27 custom turbo, Guru Chips, 968 side view mirrors, B&B stainless exhaust, Club 90 polished factory wheels, way too much to list here. It just had a $5000 major service, with all new engine oil seals, rod bearings, water pump, timing belts, coolant tubes, all fluids, new spark plugs, lots more. It also has a new central electric fuse box system, gearbox, tranny and clutch are all fresh. I have all kinds of goodies for this car. DARE I say this is the most complete 944 Turbo in the country? I have all reciepts for the car, totaling WELL over $25,000, just in preventative maintenace and performance mods. I have all stock parts that go with the car.

This 944 Turbo is extremely fast, runs great, looks wonderful. Buy this car and go run your local Porsche Club concours with this car and WIN. This car can also be used for track use, its only been in the track a few times.

I have Porsche factory 89 944 Turbo showroom poster, sales brochures, press kits, factory black and white photos, consumer brochures, a 1989 Porsche factory video, all owner's manuals and owner's literature, original Blaupunkt literature, factory stock tire air pump system with original gloves, original complete first aid kit, original gorgeous tool kit roll, stock parts, stock air box,

Please email me for tons of pictures, copies of receipts, photos of turbo upgrade work, gearbox and tranny rebuild, and soooo much more. Call me anytime!

I am asking $17,000 or best offer. I will also consider interesting trades, including E30 or E36 BMWs as partial trades.

Now you will see some photos of the car and of the spares that come with the car. Including 5 1st place trophies and 1st place ribbon.

I'll give you a (mildly) broken E36 325is, 400 bucks in Canadian quarters, 2 PS2 controllers, a Janis Joplin CD, and some lightly used snorkeling gear for it.
Just say the word Mitch, and all of that can be yours.

Mitch........I need your address so I can come over and smack you in the head. (but know what...... you're gonna see the Pantera up in about a month, so what-can-i-say).

In the FWIW department............. the pics he has on here are not even close to how nice this car looks. Mitch's car is just amazing! And for those that have not ever driven one of these, seat-belts-not-required. GOOD LUCK WITH THE SALE!

Thanks for kind words Bob! Yes, I know I will be kicking myself after I sell her. I've owned the car for 5 years and simply love the car. It really is one of the very best 951s I've ever seen and had the pleasure of owning. The new owner will be overwhelmed with all the stuff I have for the car.

Dude, seriously if I had the money to purchase/maintain a car of that calibre I'd totally buy it from you. I was at a used Porsche place yesterday looking at 944's. I really like them.

Mitch

Yeeeahhhhh, probably not.
Mitch, if you let me live in your garage rent-free I might be able to pay you $800/month for the Porsche but thats about the only way. LOL
You might have to give me some gas money too.

Mitch

12-03-2007, 05:03 PM

Haa haaa! I hear ya my man. That would be rather funny. I wish you could buy this car, I'd love to keep in in the "family"!

Now that is a really nice 944 Turbo. Most of the ones I have seen are ragged out and look crappy. GL with the sale. If I had the :money: I'd buy that car!

Justin

12-03-2007, 06:20 PM

:( Wow good luck with the sale its a very nice car! I know you hate to get rid of it!

Mitch

12-03-2007, 06:28 PM

Justin, please tell everyone your thoughts on the car!!

Justin

12-03-2007, 09:01 PM

OK Mitch took me for a ride in this car about two weeks ago and man was i impressed! Mitch has put a TON OF MONEY in this car and it shows! It pulls very hard and sounds great! The car is probably the cleanest 944 you will find..... honestly! I mean it is perfect I feel honored to have rode in it thats how nice it is! Anyway he has a TON of records that he showed me and a lot of cool things to go with it like posters, water bottle (lol) tool kit, compresser, media stuff and a ton more...... like 3 huge boxes more! I think that anyone that is at all intersted should go and look at it because once you do you are going to want it! Trust me at this price it is a steal! I have seen the records and he easily has double what he is asking in it!

Good luck Mitch! I will miss it and it is not even mine! lol

Mitch

12-03-2007, 10:47 PM

Thanks Justin, I really appreciate your summary of the car. I think the new owner will be as impressed with the car as you were.

Justin

looks like i have the e30 M3 sold,otherwise i'd be throwing that into the mix as well.
lets make a deal !!!!
' B '

Do you have the Red Rallye Golf Syncro that was at EuroTech about a year ago?!?!?!?!?
If so, I saw that thing and almost **** all over myself! Seriously. That is soooo cool.

That's awesome. I couldn't beleive it was real when I saw it. I didn't know there were any Rallye Golfs that were actually brought here by VW.
If you want to get rid of a car I'd be happy to take the E30 M3 off your hands. :)

Mitch

12-10-2007, 02:09 PM

Hey Brian, I'll call you today, I'd love to get my hands on that E30 M3.

the M3 has a deal working on it.guy coming down from Charlotte "supposedly" this week. Mitch has first dibs,then you if all falls through.Its the White one that was on craigslist a couple weeks ago.Micth posted in the E30 M3 forum.

@FatFendrFrk... Not that I'm buying, but would love to see pics of the Golf.

I learned how to drive a stick shift on a Golf.. Of course, nowhere near as rare as yours, it was Golf GTI from the early 80's.. :)

Excuse the threadjack, Mitch.. :)

I appreciate that, but there's no way I could realistically afford that car. And even if I could buy it I wouldn't be able afford to maintain it the way it should be cared for.

Yup! Thats definitely the one I saw at EuroTech! Super hot car. I can't imagine ever selling that. (For the Bimmer guys- that Rally Golf is the VW equivelent to a Euro spec E30 M3 Evo III, AKA the car in my sig)

Mitch

12-11-2007, 06:36 PM

I'm getting some emails about the 944, but she is still for sale! BUMP!

Come and get it Dennis! I'll make you a nice deal.

MachSchnell

12-20-2007, 02:47 PM

Having experienced the awesome-ness that this car is first hand, I went home last night and simply BEGGED my wife to loosen the purse-strings. I think I pushed her a little too hard, she's still a little miffed at the Schnell-man!

So what if my daughter will have to go to a community college...:mf_dribble:

F1Julie

12-20-2007, 03:13 PM

I can't believe the car is still for sale. I thought it would go really quickly, especially at that price.

Mitch

12-20-2007, 04:03 PM

Yeah there is some interest and there have been some trade offers, but nothing that has generated my interest yet. Still for sale!

MachSchnell

12-20-2007, 05:48 PM

I would love to buy it and keep it in the family!!! Mitch should know better than anyone how much I love the 951 Porsche.

Damn...to have the liquidity and desire, and a wife opposing the purchase is so bitter-sweet. I REALLY want this car!:001_wub:

I certainly won't mind if the car does not sell. :)

Mitch

01-04-2008, 04:22 PM

UPDATE:

Had the car out recently and it was like 20 degrees and the car hit 1.33 bar or 19.6 pounds of boost! It was breaking loose all over the place! Heres a shot of the boost controller!

Car runs sooo nicely and is extremely powerful!

This car has the definition of books and records. He has everything for it and everything has been done the right way. It is tough to find a car like this that you should never have to worry about but this one is it. Great car.

Mitch

Mmmmmm 19 pounds of boost. It felt sooo good. Car is so bloody fast and sounds delicious.

Yeah I am sad about selling the car, but I've got bigger fish to fry! The guy who bought the car is a HUGE car nut, takes care of his cars like I do. He and his father have owned several Porsches recently and know the cars well. I feel comfortable in letting him have the car. Its going to a good home. Thankfully. I've already warned him about the power a few times, he is CRAZY excited!!

Turns out the guy who bought the car was not aware of it's awe inspiring power. TO be blunt, he is terrified of the car and it's power. He now wants to sell the car. His parents drove it around and it scared the hell outta them too. So he is forbidden from owning the car. Anyone want a nice Porsche?? :)

If I had the money I'd buy it back.

you dont have to tell if you dont want to, but where did that money go, into the e36 vert you bought?
and also where are the pics for that car, did i miss them or did you not put them up yet
and id buy it, but i have about 15 dollars in my wallet right now

MachSchnell

03-31-2008, 08:07 PM

Now that is funny. Scared of the car?

Well, I guess if you are going to be scared of a car your's would be a good place to start. In the wrong hands that car can hurt a person.

Wish I had the cash. I'm not scared of it and I full-well know it's capabilities. Firsthand.

Infidel

03-31-2008, 08:11 PM

Yeah, seriously Chris. come on people, it's a throttle, you don't have to stomp on it. In that Porsche, once the rpm's get high enough, it will scare the crap out of you. Personally, that's my favorite moment, when the torque kicks in and you can stand sideways in you chair. like a rocket taking off.

It's also why the car has great brakes.

I can't believe this kid. He knew how much horsepower it had and just because it is capable of going that fast doesn't mean he needs to drive it that fast. He is a grown man and his parents are telling him he can't have it. MAN UP!!!

Mitch

03-31-2008, 08:15 PM

His dad called me last night, they are really nice people and they genuinely fear for their kid's life in that car. I understand, but you can turn the boost down, put a smaller turbo on it. Theres all sorts of stuff he can do to slow it down. Not sure what to do about it. I'd love to get the car back somehow.

I still have most of the money, I am saving up for something special coming in about 6 months! :)

Yeah the idiot I sold it to, was so scared of the car, he had his jerk of a step dad call me and ask to take the car back. Yes you heard right, they said the car is too fast and powerful for his son to drive. Biggest wussy known to man! Finally the moron sold the car to someone who has the balls to drive a really fast and powerful car.

I had a friend in Chicago that had a 951 Turbo S2(I believe) and it would walk a Dodge Viper like the Viper was standing still.

Mitch

08-25-2008, 07:23 PM

Hi my car had over 400hp to the rear wheels. It had adjustable boost that spiked up to 19psi safely. It has all kinds of good stuff. It was faaaaaast. The new owner absolutley loves it, he said he outran a stock 996 Turbo on the track 2 weeks ago. That made me smile.

no offense, its just being talked of as if its the fastest car in the world...

just yesterday i was strolling around in a 600whp 9000rpm 1.8t powered audi tt... mitch your car was beautiful and i'm sure its as great as its sound i was just curious to the 2900lb of 400whp

my race cars arent meant to be cool and such they just do their job of getting things done, as is the purpose i built them for.

Not for nothing, but it really is a fast car. Not the fastest car in the world, but that is really an abstract comparison for a car that sold for under $20K, dontcha think?

I've been in and driven some very fast cars. This one was among the fastest, no exaggeration. What a fantastic car.
