WTT: 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo for 1st Gen TN

Kind of an odd ball trade, but I'm looking to trade my 1986 Porsche 951 for a nice 1st gen taco. I'm going to be pretty picky with what I'm wanting, but here's my taco wish list: 4x4, Manual Trans, Extended Cab, Manual Hubs, Green is a plus, 4 cylinder is a plus, lower miles is a plus as well, camper top is also a plus.

About my car:

It's the third 944 I've had and by far the best in both condition and performance. Unfortunately, it does not fit my lifestyle right now and so it must go. Looking for $10,500 OBO. Car is located in Chattanooga, TN.

The Good:
Front Suspension:
Koni double adjustable shocks with M030 threaded collars (coil-overs)
KLA Billet Monoball upper strut mount
Racer's Edge upper hat and lower seat
Hypercoil 350lb springs
Rebuild control arms with lowering race spindle pin
968 M030 updated caster blocks
Turbo S M030 28.5mm Front sway bar with solid center bushings

Rear Suspension:
Koni Coil-overs with Hypercoil 450lbs springs
Racer's edge upper hat and lower seat
18mm adjustable rear sway bar with solid bushings and drop links
Tie down eyes on rear shocks (easy transportation to track)

Misc:
Corner Balanced
Reinforced torsion tube carrier
Aggressive Alignment

Engine:
Rebuilt ~30k ago, at which time the Lindsey Racing 340 RWHP kit was installed.
Rebuilt Head and converted to spring loaded Tensioner within the last month.
Passed Emissions in Hamilton County TN with no issue.

Wheels:
BBS RS 16 x 7's and 8's
Tires:
205/55R-16 Bridgestone RE-11
255-/50R-16 Bridgestone RE-11

The Bad:
Clear is peeling in some areas and paint isn't in perfect shape (rock chips, etc)
Broken Fog Light Cover (Happened unloading car from trailer)
Missing one seat adjustment button
Typical 944 stuff (cracked dash, odometer not working, hatch seal, sunroof not working)
AC condensor is MIA. PO had a new radiator installed but left the condenser off.
Odometer shows ~183K and I do not think that is very far off. PO replaced it with a GT3 and it sat until the HOA decided it should go. A well know 944 mechanic in the Nashville area got it and went through it before I bought it, so belts, water pump, and rollers are all taken care of (new in October)

Overall the car is very solid. I purchased it in October to be my daily driver and in December the stud that the tensioner mounts to gave up the ghost. I had the head repaired and had it upgraded to the later, spring loaded tensioner. In the time that the car was out of commission, I changed jobs and this car won't work for what I need. It drives great, boost feels good, and handles like it is on rails. I have receipts for suspension and engine work that total to around 15K. This would be a great weekend car, DE car, track car, or DD if you don't mind a little more racy ride. The factory sport seats are awesome. Supportive where you want it and cushy where you don't.

I will have some more pictures tomorrow, I ran out of daylight today. I also have a stack of receipts if you want them and am happy to give you my mechanic's name and number to answer any more questions about the car.

Going to be real hard to find an early Tacoma with manual hubs, if I recall correctly that was a very limited option on the earliest models. I've never seen one in person, and only have heard of one person on here that has one. Unless you're willing to take a pre-Tacoma Toyota pickup (1995 and earlier), manual hubs were more common on those.

Everything else on your list shouldn't be too hard to find, I found my 4x4 v6 extra cab TRD Tacoma w/5speed (and supercharger) earlier this year after a few months of looking.

Good luck!

 

There's one within an hour or so from me that fits the bill perfectly. I just need to sell this car before I'm ready to buy but I thought I might be able to skip a step. I can always do what my brother did though and make it manual hubs (although he did it by putting a 60 in the front)

 

Bump!

 

My 96 has them and there is 3 of them in our parking lot right now. From 95.5-97 wasn't manual hubs standard on all 4x4 Tacoma's?

 

Could be. I'm not 100% on when they added the ADD but like I said, I'd prefer the manual hubs but it isn't a deal breaker.

 

Who's 911 targa in the back ground?

 

It's my brothers, it's an 84 that he's had for a few years. We both have a little Toyota and Porsche habit.

Nice rides! The 911 is still on my bucket list of cars to own before I kick the bucket. I've always owned German cars and Japanese trucks too. Have to love the engineering if the old axis powers. The old troopy looks cool. Is it a diesel or an FJ? Like the pop up.

 

WOW that Troopy is awesome!

 

Hey Drew, surprised to see your 951 hasn't sold yet. I've seen it on Pelican, Rennlist, etc...

I own 2 951's and 2 Tacoma's right now so think we have similar taste in cars.

Hope you can find it a good home and score a nice Tacoma as well...

 

Much appreciated. It's an HJ45 that's been swapped to the newer 2H so it's a 6 cylinder Diesel. The 911 is a really fun car to drive but you get alot more bang for the buck with a 944 Turbo.

Thanks! I've certainly been enjoying it.

Thank you very much. I've been trying to get the word around and get it moved but it's a little more expensive than a typical hobbyist wants to spend and a little too far from stock for the purist 951 crowd. There's a buyer out there somewhere and hopefully I'll find them and they'll get a great car.
