brian in buddina Posted 19September, 2016 Report Share Posted 19September, 2016 Ok so this is a Jap import left hooker, but what is wrong with this car, anyone looked at it.http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Porsche-944-1987/SSE-AD-3973254/?Cr=3 I am interested in this car, & have talked with the owner, but I am in Qld.Before I fly down or get a PPI it would be good to know if any PFA member have had a look at it before I commit to the next step.Just need to know if its straight, any rust or a dying motor.Is there any 952 forum members nearby to Balwyn North that could have a quick look for me. It goes without saying that beer or wine would be involved. Brian in buddina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian in buddinaBrian, it may be better to start a new thread on this for you, if PFA'ers are anything like me they go to the new topics so more people may see it and you will have a better chance at getting a result.

brian in buddina Posted 22September, 2016 Report Share Posted 22September, 2016 Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawtsomething I have googled & have been unable to find is a TARGA kit to turn a cabrio into a targa. Maybe someone knows of a one off somewhere. The sun is too intense in Qld for a open top car for half the year, if you are follically challenged.

brian in buddina Posted 22September, 2016 Report Share Posted 22September, 2016 very interesting, please tell the storey on this.is that an x 911 hoop? or a custom fabrication.x 911 targa roof panel or...?does it leak, is it noisier than a cabrio with the roof up?please send addition pictures how this all works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian in buddina Posted 22September, 2016 Report Share Posted 22September, 2016 I wonder how far off the dimensions are for a 911 targa rear glass to fit a 944 cabrio.This would be a more complex fabrication as it would require body work mods between the boot and hoop.Has anyone seen a photo of a rear glass 944 targa?In search of the elusive unicorn.No need to discuss why Porsche never made one in the early 90's - almost broke and a model about to be discontinued.But It would be interesting to know if the P. design department has a paper sketch buried away in there archives.

ANF Posted 28September, 2016 Report Share Posted 28September, 2016 You are right Lee generally, however if I could get an inexpensive AND reliable auto at a price where I could easily afford a manual as well for the weekends I'd get on it straight away. Bugger just lost my post!!I have been thinking about this and you could do it, I sort of did..... I have my ML suv for daily/ family stuff and my 928 for fun stuff May not work for all but worth considering if your budget will allow ,plus gives you more time to find the right P car? A Cayenne (or similar) would make a nice daily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88mph Posted 16October, 2016 Report Share Posted 16October, 2016 Has been quiet here for a while.I've noticed some of the decent 944s have sold, and just the ones with issues or autos remain.Then there's the 96k one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember the last 944 Cab I've seen for sale? I agree. From memory, the last one I saw was a black/cream that was $14,000. I think it was last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
