Build history

Lowering the price a good chunk to try and get this car moved. This is an extremely clean well built, well sorted car that's track tested and adult owned.

Helping my older buddy (not super computer savvy) sell his immaculate 944 Turbo/LS swapped car (built in 2024) with all new components. Located in Goshen, IN

Met my buddy Jim while racing 944s in the midwest region. Jim loved his (original NA) 944 racecar chassis but wanted something faster and didnt want to worry about the rough nature of wheel to wheel racing.

In 2024, he found a garage kept 944 Turbo with a blown motor for his swap project. He removed the motor and trans, gutted the interior and removed all the sound deadening and resprayed the entire car (including interior) 2018 Porsche Graphite Blue Metaillic (Jim is a custom car painter for a living). He then shipped the car and a TON of parts down to Michael Dearstyne Racing in South Carolina. Mike builds 944 racecars for racers all over the country and had his own LS swapped racecar as well, and is a NASA certified tech inspector.

This build has less than 10 track weekends on the car, and is not street driven. Jim has a membership to Gingerman Raceway and mostly enjoys the car there on private track days.

The paint is a 9.5 out of 10 (there's only one very small chip on the nose). He spared no expense on the build and has put very minimal use on it.
