This Porsche 944 got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1983 Porsche 944 was initially delivered to White-Allen Porsche-Audi in Dayton, Ohio, and it was acquired by the seller in 1988, reportedly from the original owner. The car is powered by a 2.5-liter inline-four paired with a five-speed manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential, and it is finished in Sienna Red Metallic over black partial leather. Equipment includes 15″ cookie-cutter alloy wheels, a sunroof, pop-up headlights, fog lights, a rear window wiper, a Blaupunkt cassette stereo, power windows, and air conditioning. This 944 shows 48k miles and is now offered with a window sticker, the owner’s manual, service records, a tool kit, a clean Carfax report, and a clean South Carolina title in the seller’s name.
