Introduced for the 1987 model year, the 944 S debuted with several major updates including a new inline four-cylinder engine with dual overhead camshafts and four valves per cylinder. This first-year example is specified with an uncommon Malvern Red finish over black upholstery and equips a removable sunroof and upgraded 16” 993 wheels. Garage-stored and accompanied by various service documentation, this 944 S is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Virginia with approximately 106k miles showing on the odometer.
This 944 was specified with a Malvern Red (LY3E) finish, a rare color only offered for the 1987 model year. It can be distinguished as an “S” model by its “16 Ventiler” embossed badge integrated behind the side indicators. A set of 16" 993 wheels have been mounted with Bridgestone Potenza Sport 4 tires installed at 104,647 miles. The seller notes minor signs of road wear on the lower panels, and detailed images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
The cabin is appointed with Black partial leather upholstery and features a removable sunroof panel with an electric tilt feature. Equipment includes power windows, a rear window wiper, an AM/FM radio, and an aftermarket steering wheel. Normal wear on the bolsters is noted, and all gauges are reported to be working properly.
The 944 S debuted with a new 2.5L inline 4-cylinder DOHC engine that sends up to 190 HP and 170 lb.-ft of torque to the rear wheels through a 5-speed manual transaxle. Other updates for the 944 S include progressive springs for improved handling, larger anti-roll bars, strengthened wheel bearings, a more powerful brake servo, and improved Bosch DME programming with dual knock sensors. The seller highlights a state inspection, oil change, and pre-delivery inspection/service in March 2024, an alternator replacement at 104,339 miles, and service to the timing belt, water pump, and crankshaft seal at 105,626 miles. A host of service documentation is said to accompany the sale.
This sale will include a clean title and a collection of service documents.
The seller would like you to know: “This very well cared for, clean original example of a Porsche 944S was originally leased from Porsche Scottsdale in North Carolina in 1992 and has been owned by a Porsche enthusiast here in Virginia since 1997. Adult-driven and meticulously maintained, it comes with tons of service and maintenance records, always garaged and sheltered from the weather.”

Does not have airbag
@Seller - Does this car have airbags installed? (in the original steering wheel).
It would be nice to see the option code build sticker.
