Description
Available for auction is this 1988 Porsche 944S finished in Zermatt Silver Metallic over a Burgundy interior. As one of only 2,226 examples produced for the 1988 model year, this Canadian-market 944S is powered by a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter inline-four engine producing 190 HP. The 944S featured significant upgrades over its predecessors, including a dual-overhead-cam 16-valve cylinder head derived from the 928 S4, larger anti-roll bars, and strengthened wheel bearings.
This example has been meticulously maintained and shows approximately 37,500 kilometers (23,500 miles) on its odometer. It is now being offered for auction by its third owner, out of Nampa, Idaho, who notes that the car has always been stored in a climate-controlled environment and is currently registered in the state of Idaho.
The exterior of this 944S is finished in Zermatt Silver Metallic (LY7Y), distinguishable by its “16 Ventiler” script side moldings and “S” designation on the rear. The seller reports that the paint remains in excellent condition, having recently undergone a paint correction and ceramic coating process. A paint protection film has also been applied to the hood.
Exterior features include pop-up headlights with upgraded LED bulbs, a rear window wiper, headlight washers, fog lights, a dealer-installed rear reflector panel, and 16” Phone Dial wheels fitted with Yokohama Advan A052 tires dated from 2021. The original removable metal sunroof panel is included in the sale, stored in a leather bag, while a glass “Saratoga” sunroof is currently installed.
Inside, this 944S features a well-preserved Burgundy interior equipped with heated and power-adjustable Sport Seats that show no wear on the bolsters. Additional features include air conditioning, a factory alarm system, and a premium sound system with a Blaupunkt radio. The seller confirms that all electronic gauges, controls, and accessories are fully functional. Notable recent maintenance includes the replacement of the hood and hatch struts, a new power steering pump and hoses, and a new A/C compressor.
The cabin is reported to be in excellent condition, reflecting the care this car has received throughout its life.
Powering this 944S is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder DOHC engine paired with a 5-speed manual transaxle, delivering 190 HP and 170 lb.-ft of torque to the rear wheels. Enhancements for the 944S model include a self-adjusting timing belt tensioner, a magnesium valve cover, and Bosch DME programming. The seller notes that the car has been serviced regularly, with semi-annual oil and filter changes, and the timing belt and water pump were last replaced in 2017 under previous ownership. This sale will include the original owner’s manuals, toolkit, spare tire, and a clean title.
