Replying to: explorerx4 (Dec 04, 2008 3:45 pm) Looks good for the money. The price is fair, perhaps a tad under value but close enough given the interior issues. The cold air intake and "chip" are probably Mickey Mouse stuff ("Hi. I own a garage in Cleveland and I know a LOT more than the Porsche engineers"). But the dreaded water pump and timing belt have been done (one hopes there is a repair order to prove this), so barring the chip going crazy and the cold air intake sucking in a piston-full of water someday, what's not to like? |

Replying to: qbrozen (Dec 04, 2008 1:33 pm) link title She did alot of work to it, hopefully the $10k bill is not what did her in. The Porsche 944 seems like a good deal. The work it needs is is you could live with until you find the cash to fix like a/c and the sunroof. |

I just checked my friend's eBay listing, and see the car has been bid up to $2550. I know he's probably breathing a bit more easily now. He was getting a bit worried when it seemed the bidding was stalling out around $1000-1100. It'll be interesting to see how high it goes. |

Replying to: qbrozen (Dec 04, 2008 7:57 pm) But...the 944 is just plain darn good looking. It doesn't have a line wrong anywhere. No, it isn't a 911, but nothing is a 911.

I saw this and had to share - I figured this group would appreciate the sheer insanity. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Cars-Trucks___Custom-1982-Maserati-Quattroporte-5- -4-V8-626hp_W0QQitemZ120344444938QQddnZCarsQ20Q26Q20TrucksQQddiZ2282QQcmdZViewIt- emQQptZUS_Cars_Trucks?hash=item120344444938&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245&_trkparms=72%3- A727%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318 OK, it's a completed project. But can you imagine the amount of time, money, and probably alcohol it must have taken? And now someone has the fastest '82 QP on the planet. Awesome. -Jason

Replying to: lemmer (Dec 05, 2008 6:47 am) '82 Maserati 4Porto -- that would be a sweet car to have if the conversions were done well and the thing doesn't sound like a Hell's Bells hotrod. The 4Porto has the loveliest leather seats you'll ever experience, and if enough sound-deadening and balancing has been installed to block out the over-built Ford V8 (the Maser V-8 was very quiet and very smooth), this car would be a winner to cruise around the country in. This car is a monster, and you aren't going to fling it around like it was a BMW M5, so best keep it as a stately GT car that goes fast. The choice of gauges, wheels and steering wheel are unfortunate, but this is Las Vegas. I'm also not a big fan of 200 lbs of airtex piping all over the place. Also not sure if the double-shocks are going to jar your fillings loose in your teeth. It's a car that needs to be driven before it is bought, or you might end up with a freak here. Jay Leno might like it.
