1985 Porsche 944

GR Auto Gallery is pleased to offer this 1985.5 Porsche 944 for your consideration. Powering this 80s icon is a peppy 2.5 liter 4 cylinder motor mated to a well sorted 5-speed manual gearbox. Porsche sourced the SOHC 2.5L inline-4 by essentially chopping the 928's 4.5L V8 engine in half. The resulting 4-cylinder motor had an identical stroke and slightly larger bore to the V8, which gave it a displacement slightly more than half of what the V8's was. With a silicon-aluminum alloy block and crossflow aluminum head construction, this new engine featured computer controlled electronic fuel injection.

This beautiful example is finished in a clean Alpine White exterior over a contrasting brown leather interior. It rides on black 15-inch cookie cutter wheels wrapped in Kumho tires. Overall, the exterior is very clean and even sports side skirts for a more aggressive appearance. Inside the vehicle is equally as clean as the exterior. There is brown carpeting, dash, floor mats, and leather seats. Other highlights include a Blaupunkt radio, automatic climate control with air conditioning, power windows, power sunroof, aluminum door sills, and plenty more. This example comes to us from a 15 year owner who purchased it from the original owner.

The 944 model Porsche was a brilliant design upon its release. It bridged the gap between the 924 and 911 models. As time goes on, the 944s are becoming increasingly rare. As such, they continue to rise in desirability. The 944 made Car and Driver's 10 Best List in 1983, 1985, and 1985. Car and Driver also awarded the Porsche 944, “Best Handling Production Car in America” in 1984. Please call or email with any questions or for additional information.
