Just picked up an absolutely *wild* 1987 Porsche 944 Turbo build. This thing RIPS.  
  
Sadly, my wife hates it, and I can’t see it staying in the stable.  
And if I’m honest, this is my first 80s car, and I’m realizing I don’t love living with something this old. It’s a blast to drive, but for quick runs to the gym my Cooper S just makes more sense (gasp, *heretic*). Plus, it’s not in my plans to keep a fourth car.

**Looking for:**

* Realistic value (CAD/USD)
* Best place to list (FB Marketplace, BaT, PCar, Rennlist, etc.)

**Location:** Calgary, Canada  
**Mileage:** 131k miles on chassis (\~25k on rebuilt engine)  
**Title:** Clean, no accidents  
**Transmission:** 5-speed manual  
**Condition:** Rust-free, turnkey, everything works *except* the sunroof. Interior is in good shape (no tears, some dash cracks).

**Highlights:** Rebuilt engine w/ new block, Carrillo rods, Lindsey Stage 2 head, Vitesse Stage 2 turbo, standalone ECU, Bilstein Escort Cup coilovers, Big Red brake upgrade, Kinesis forged wheels, fresh timing belt/tires/alignment (Aug 2025).

This car has had an *absolutely insane* amount of work poured into it (we’re talking **five inches of receipts** in organized folders, from big-ticket upgrades to washers and bolts). Every major and sensitive job was done professionally, and at some point, virtually every mechanical component has been replaced or upgraded: vacuum lines, coolant tank, plugs, wires, brake sensors, you name it. This isn’t just a clean 951 with some Lindsey Racing tuning chips.

I know opinions will vary, and I’m not looking to turn a profit. I just don’t want to be out to lunch when I put up an asking price.  
And yes, in case you’re wondering — the previous owner did post this same car on this subreddit about a year ago.

**TLDR;** This is a no-excuses, turn-key, high-power 944 Turbo that’s been gone through top to bottom
