Introduced for the 1983 model year in North America, the Porsche 944 quickly established itself as one of the brand’s best-balanced sports cars thanks to its near-perfect weight distribution, transaxle drivetrain, and everyday usability. It blended Porsche engineering with practical comfort, making it an instant success and one of the company’s highest-volume models of the 1980s. This particular 1983 Porsche 944 has traveled approximately 74,968 miles and presents in the iconic Guards Red over Black color combination. Equipped with a desirable 5-speed manual transmission, removable roof panel, and aftermarket air conditioning, it offers an engaging analog driving experience that continues to make early 944s highly sought after by enthusiasts.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior of this 1983 Porsche 944 is finished in classic Guards Red, a signature Porsche color that perfectly complements the car’s distinctive wedge-shaped styling and integrated polyurethane bumpers. Pop-up headlights, sculpted body lines, and the removable roof panel enhance both its visual appeal and open-air driving enjoyment. Completing the look are factory-style 15-inch Porsche Phone Dial alloy wheels, which remain one of the model’s most recognizable design elements and reinforce its unmistakable 1980s Porsche character. The interior of this 1983 Porsche 944 is trimmed in Black and features the driver-focused cockpit that helped define Porsche’s front-engine sports cars. Deeply bolstered seating, a simple yet functional gauge cluster, and excellent visibility make it an enjoyable place to spend time behind the wheel. This example benefits from an aftermarket air conditioning system for improved comfort during warmer weather, while a Kenwood audio head unit provides updated entertainment without taking away from the car’s classic charm.

Engine

Powering this 1983 Porsche 944 is a naturally aspirated 2.5L inline-four engine equipped with Bosch L-Jetronic electronic fuel injection. Developed specifically for the 944, this engine was notable for its smooth operation, strong mid-range torque, and exceptional balance when paired with Porsche’s rear-mounted transaxle layout. The engine sends power to the rear wheels through a crisp-shifting 5-speed manual transmission, delivering the responsive handling and balanced dynamics that have made the early Porsche 944 a favorite among driving enthusiasts for more than four decades.

Porsche isn’t only known for their ever-popular 911 sports car. This iconic German automaker has also offered other models with suitably differing designs and value propositions. Take the 944 as an example. With its squared-off design, pop-up headlamps and front-engined layout, it’s the polar opposite of the 911. Produced between 1982 and 1991, the 944 was initially naturally aspirated, but as with the 911, a turbo variant soon came onto the scene. That’s what this 1988 Porsche 944 Turbo is, and it’s done just under 94,000 miles so far. Furthermore, it’s got a manual gearbox, an electrically openable detachable roof panel, and even an extra set of wheels with slick tires in case you want to take this car to the drag strip or race track.

While Porsche’s 911 was, and still is their darling model, the Stuttgart automaker has got a fairly lengthy list of other Great Hits to enjoy. Take the 944 as an example. Made between 1982 and 1991, it was every bit the anti-911. Instead of putting the engine out back, it was placed between the front wheels. Instead of following the 911’s iconic teardrop shape, the 944 traded it for wedge-shaped styling and captivating pop-up headlamps. Today’s 1987 Porsche 944 is a bit different, because it’s got custom body panels, aftermarket wheels with spacers, and a host of upgrades. Bearing under 80,000 miles to its name, this Vermont-based modern classic sports car is a fantastic find for those who dare to be different.

1956 Chevrolet 150 2-Door Sedan Restomod

Current Ask
$57,000

This 1956 Chevrolet 150 Restomod is a clean Tri-Five build with the kind of mechanical and cosmetic upgrades that make these cars genuinely fun to drive. Showing approximately 3,050 miles, it features a custom Green and White paint job over a reupholstered Brown leather interior and is powered by a 383ci Summit Racing crate V8 paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The engine has been positioned 1.5 inches forward, while Sanderson headers, a 3.90 Posi-Traction rear end, power-assisted disc brakes, electric cooling, and an aluminum radiator give the car a far more capable setup than a stock 150. Add Dakota Digital gauges, air conditioning, a trunk-mounted battery, 17-inch mag wheels, and an upgraded sound system, and this is a well-rounded restomod that blends classic Tri-Five style with much more modern road manners.

This 1957 Buick Roadmaster Riviera 2-Door Hardtop is pure late-1950s American excess in the best possible way, combining dramatic Harley Earl-era styling with the torque-rich character of Buick’s Nailhead V8.
