I bought this car as a non-runner in 2023 out of dry storage, where it had sat since 2005 (preserving the 50k original miles). Over the last two years, I performed a ground-up mechanical overhaul to make it completely turn-key and roadworthy. The rust-free chassis spent its life in CA, TX, and NV, and still retains its bright, original factory gold zinc hardware.
The Mechanical Highlights:
Clutch: Brand new full clutch replacement (the biggest 944 job out of the way).
Top-End: Cylinder head pulled, surfaced, and refreshed with new valve guides and stem seals.
Hoses & Fluids: All-new coolant hoses, fuel lines, power steering lines, brake lines, etc.
Front Engine Seals & Mounts: Full front-engine seal overhaul (cam, balance shafts, crank). New head gasket, rear main seal, and engine mounts.
Belts: New timing and balance shaft belts, fresh rollers, new water pump, and new accessory belts
Hydraulics: Rebuilt power steering rack, rebuilt brake calipers, and new clutch cylinders
Fuel & Ignition: New fuel pump, filter, distributor cap, rotor, plugs, and wires.
OEM+ Upgrades: Genuine 17" Cup 2 wheels, 968 caster blocks, 968 sway bars, and a short shifter kit.
I have uploaded a comprehensive, itemized parts and service spreadsheet at the bottom of the BaT photo gallery, alongside extensive photo documentation of the process.
I’m the seller and am happy to answer any technical or build questions here or directly on the listing.
Thanks for looking!
