The Porsche 944 S debuted in 1987 featuring a new inline four-cylinder engine with dual overhead camshafts, four valves per cylinder, and a host of additional modifications to increase performance. This inaugural year example comes finished in Black over a matching leather interior and was acquired by the seller in 2022 after being kept in storage by the previous owner for over 10 years. Extensively serviced by the seller, it is now being offered for auction out of Maine while showing just over 60k miles on the odometer.
This 944 S comes finished in Black and rides on factory 16” Phone Dial alloy wheels dressed in new Yokohama tires. Exterior details include pop-up headlights, integrated fog lights, and a rubber spoiler attached to the glass rear hatch. The seller suspects the lower rockers to have been previously refinished, and additional images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
Inside, the cabin is appointed with black partial leather upholstery and features a removable sunroof panel with an electric tilt feature. Additional equipment includes an elevated hub steering wheel, a rear window wiper, and a central locking system. The seller notes a Clifford alarm system was installed and recently removed although the small toggle switch in the shifter console remains.
Powering this 944 is a 16-valve DOHC 2.5-liter inline 4-cylinder engine that sends 190 HP to the rear wheels via a desirable 5-speed manual transmission. This front-mounted engine setup allows for a nearly perfectly balanced car, and updates for the 944 S include progressive springs for improved handling, larger anti-roll bars, strengthened wheel bearings, a more powerful brake servo, and improved Bosch DME programming with dual knock sensors. The seller adds that a limited-slip differential was installed by a previous owner and fluids have been refreshed under current ownership.
This sale will include a certificate of registration.
The seller would like you to know: "This car was my winter of 2021 project. I have a heated 40 by 60 barn with a lift and many tools. I build 997 engines in retirement. My style is to buy good parts, cut no corners, read Clark's Garage, and work slowly. The buyer is getting a really nice running low mileage 944S.”

I have driven this car in person and it would be in my garage if my wife had not fallen for the charms of the 997 series 911's (lucky me...). I know the seller is absolutely meticulous in his work and takes pride in all of his craftsmanship to restore Porsches to their former glory. This particular 944S runs tight, smooth, and I remember my wife commenting on how rattle-free our drive was for a car that rolled off the assembly line in '87. Bid with confidence as I haven't seen another one this clean and well-sorted anywhere else. GLWA!
Good morning and welcome to the final hours of this auction for my 944S.
I will be answering any final questions in a timely fashion right up to the end.
Beautiful car and nice to see the respect it has been given. 944s are under rated in my opinion - I’m sure the next owner will cherish this one. GLWS!
I've seen this car in person along with some other nice P cars in the garage. It is a pretty clean example, especially the interior. You don't see many 944s/928s with uncracked dashes and original stereos (which the 911 originalist crowd has been paying a pretty penny for) and fully functioning roof. I'm guessing the bids have just gotten a bit past what the recent maintainance would cost at a shop. GLWS, someone will be getting a fun driver soon.
