Car was updated to a street / track car in the early 2000s by myself. I then found by accident an original factory 944T race car which I purchased to continue my racing endeavors. I then sold this Turbo S to my Porsche machinist at Pacific Performance. While being very enthusiastic, he found time to attend only a couple Porsche Club time trial events and the car was regulated to an occasional street duty car and parked outside. I recently purchased the car back, unfortunately from his estate. Also unfortunate was the inability to find all invoices and records back to original purchase.

The car is being offered for sale to someone who won't part it out. In honor of my machinist's love and enthusiasm for the car and to his widow's wishes, I hope the new owner will correct its cosmetic deficiencies and return the car to its street or track glories.

PM for more info.
