Fixed it for you

I was looking at mid 80'r xr600's earlier. Thinking about getting a collector plateable dual purpose.
I have always liked the xt's though..

Being selective is a valuable skill.

Corrosion, I don't want it.
Buggered up wiring I don't want it.
Lady's model, like wise.
Priced anywhere near what it's worth, pass.
Missing parts, cut frame, only if it's free.
Yet still the workshop is almost full.

3-weeks ago I found a Kijiji add for a 1986 Porsche 944 with 120,000kms for $1550. It took everything I had in me to not go look at it.
Guy said it just needed brakes (which is bull at that price), but it was the principal......ugh.

I even told my wife about it, just to rule out the possibility that I would sneak off after work one night. The add was down within 48-hours.
Shame I wasn't in the market.

if it makes u feel any better,thats the more undesireable porsche. Still cool though. Its got a cheaper vw type engine if im not mistaken. being air cooled at 120000 mi its gotta need an overhaul. the price isnt that bad if the chassis is good though.

 

[JEEPRUSTY]

But the 944 was in that poster!!!!

 

[Dakotakid]

The 944's did not have air cooled engines.
There were several other manufacturers who attempted to clone the looks of them.

944 was a decent car. As I recall the 924 wasn't nearly as nice .

The motor was in the wrong place for a Posche

Firstly, the engine was not air-cooled.
Secondly, the 944 USED TO BE an undesirable Porsche. They're getting more rare with every passing year.
Thirdly, it was 120,000 KMS, not miles Just breakin' her in.
Fourthly, I want one. (that's all that really matters)

Ever driven a 944? They're a blast, even the NA versions. Hard to go wrong with a good engine up front, RWD, balanced chassis and a solid tranny.

Agreed! I'd love a 944. Sporty enough to have fun on, but simple and easy to keep running for a long time. Plus I've always loved the looks.
