Description
The 944 Turbo, known internally as the 951, served as the turbocharged flagship of Porsche's transaxle four-cylinder range. Finished in the one-year-only Malvern Red over a black interior, this 1987 example has received extensive Lindsey Racing modifications, including a Super Series oil-cooled turbocharger, a tuning chip, a four-into-one exhaust header, and a Fabspeed cat-back exhaust. Power reaches the rear wheels through a 5-speed manual transaxle. Benefiting from recent clutch, flywheel, and release bearing replacements, this 944 Turbo is now being offered for auction in Georgia, showing approximately 124k miles on the odometer.

Finished in Malvern Red (LY3E), this example is adorned with a "Turbo" graphic on the right-front fender. The seller reports repainting the hood, roof, and front and rear bumpers to address the sun fading common to dark colors and describes the remainder of the paint as presenting well with no major blemishes. A previously cracked RS-type rear spoiler was replaced with an original rear hatch, and a worn front splitter was replaced with a new front lower piece. The car rides on 17" Turbo Twist-style wheels sourced from a 1998 Boxster, repainted red, and mounted with a mixed set of Toyo tires. The CARFAX report carries a total-loss entry that the seller disputes as erroneous: the title is clean and has never been branded, the seller states there is no evidence the car has been in an accident, and the alleged total loss is dated before the car was originally sold new in late 1987. The seller adds that the entry did not appear until the CARFAX was pulled for a 2025 auction, that the long-term owner since 2013 reported no incidents since new, and that a redacted copy of the clean title is included in the gallery. Detailed images are provided in the gallery.
