The seller offers for sale this 1983 Porsche 944, a Swiss-delivered car built for the 1984 model year and equipped with a 2.5-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine and manual transmission. After being purchased in Serbia in 2014 from an owner who kept it as a project, the car underwent a complete body restoration. It was repainted in its original colour, with interior panels cleaned and protected. The interior, refurbished by the previous owner, includes renewed black (possibly artificial) leather seats, while the dashboard shows typical cracking and a few minor imperfections. The original steering wheel remains fitted. The engine starts without issues, shows no blue or white smoke when warm and runs without unusual noises. The gearbox has some shifting difficulty but makes no abnormal sounds. It received a new radiator, fuel pump, timing belt and spanners in 2023. The seller reports no visible rust, no accident history and functioning lights, wipers, indicators and brakes.
The Porsche 944 is widely regarded as one of the most balanced and accessible entry points into classic Porsche ownership. Introduced in the early 1980s, it refined the earlier 924 platform with improved handling, wider arches and a purpose-built Porsche engine. Its near 50/50 weight distribution and precise steering earned praise for predictable, confidence-inspiring road manners. As interest in analogue sports cars continues to grow, the 944 has gained renewed appreciation for its usability, classic styling and relatively low running costs compared to other Porsche models. Well-maintained early examples like this 1983 model appeal to enthusiasts seeking a characterful transaxle Porsche with strong heritage and rewarding driving dynamics.
