New to me 1987 944 Turbo option questions
I'm pretty sure the answer to both questions is no but wanted to double check with the experts on here.
The car I bought has the following options: 158 Blaupunkt Reno SQR 46 cassette-radio 454 automatic speed control 650 detached roof panel 946 leather front seats. Does this mean my car did not come with: 1. Air Conditioning - The AC compressor appears to be missing... go figure. 2. Anti-Lock brakes - I thought I saw an ABS light come on. (can't remember exactly, the car has been in the shop for over a month now for other issues) Also, I did stomp on the brakes in the rain to test and the tires did indeed lock up. Thanks again, it just seems crazy to me that a car like this would have shipped to CA with no ABS or air conditioning. |

Iirc Air Con and ABS were standard in ‘87, therefore they were not an “option”.

Unlikely to have ABS, it was an option, not standard.
All US spec Turbos have A/C and dual airbags.

ABS was option 593 and cost about 4.5k USD when adjusted for inflation. Maybe your car has a replacement cluster from an ABS car, and the wiring to close the warning light circuit was not done correctly? First year does not have airbags. Last edited by FrenchToast; 06-19-2019 at 08:20 PM.. |
