LeeM Posted 26August, 2021 Report Share Posted 26August, 2021 Think that's rather ambitiously priced, yet it is a dealer, so it's expected I s'pose. Does look good, but that interior style has always been a mind f@#$ for me. tomo and Yeatesy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't, however, like the lack of the third peddle or the price tag. Yeatesy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Phil Posted 27August, 2021 Report Share Posted 27August, 2021 Anyone after a 944 Turbo (after the article in this months Wheels Mag.) there is a nice 1988 manual for sale at Richmonds in SA at a good price.

A few years might be too late to catch the boat. The Richmond's one is a nice clean example.

LeeM Posted 28August, 2021 Report Share Posted 28August, 2021 Wasn't that a PFA members car? Mega bucks was thrown at it if I recall correctly. Would be a fun car to drive MFX and tomo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a fun car to drive That's the one. But it still doesn't have air conditioning... I'm not being flippant either - the 944 cannot be daily driven in Australia with that glass hatch and no AC. It was a big mistake to delete it from the build. Peter M 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 28August, 2021 Report Share Posted 28August, 2021 I think the zeal to delete AC, heat and radios from cars because 'it's a racecar' type comments are misguided. It takes time to build these things in but it's not rocket science and components are pretty cheap. Otherwise your driving season is pretty short in a lot of australia. Anyway, off the couch and onto my AC project... Peter M and Fishcop 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate, driving 9 hours in an old 911 from Adelaide to country Victoria in 42° heat without a/c isn't much fun either I can assure you!

Would be a fun car to drive Yes it was. I went for a test drive in it here in Melbourne when it was more recently for sale. Very loud, very fast, very stiff suspension. Wouldn't be a comfortable daily driver, that's for sure! But was a rocket! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get to say, "Been there, done that" My old 69 was a daily driver in Townsville and Nth Qld - regular drives to Cairns etc... 30º+ AND 60-70% humidity (which is a real killer!). It reinforces my comments about AC if you're building something to really enjoy all year 'round - the cabin is super important. I've no doubt the subject car could have it engineered in by a pro.
