Als Callaway 944

[Als Callawy 944]

Hi every one!
New to this forum and looking for help on steering me in the right direction on how to find out what my car is worth! I know its only worth what some one is willing to pay, just wondering if anyone has any info on any one selling one like this one! I am the original owner of this factory ordered 1983 944 with all of the options possible. I drove to Old Lime Conn. after the break in period to have the turbo installed (best thing I ever did as far as a car improvement goes). So here are the specs: 31,300 original miles {mostly highway}, Black with brown/tan interior, polished three piece Epsilon racing wheels with gold honeycomb centers and 205/55ZR16 front 245/45ZR16 Michelin Pilot Sport tires (less than 1000 mi on them). Still have the original optional stock rims with Dunlop tires that only have 50 mi on them stored in basement. $3,000 invested in Sony head unit / 10 disc changer, ADS separates with custom sub and plenty of wattage {sound system sounds great even at 100mph with the windows down} is that legal. FYI 165mph is the top speed. Have other stuff that would go with it. I am just researching at this point, been on the Internet all day and found out a lot of useful info so far. I have seen one that sold for 45k and one for 80k, their were only 20 made with one in a museum in Germany, would love to know how many are still out their running.
Any info would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for Lking

You know, if you added a turbo to the stock engine you might have lost some originality for this car. With unusual and rare models of this mark, folks who put out a lot of money in the name of collectibility and investment want just that; unmolested, original vehicles maybe even down to the stock radio. Many may frown on this turbo add-on unless of course the Calloway for 1983 offered a turbo option. As for value? I do not have clue aside from the fact you have a low mileage rare car.

You could contact the PCA in your region and they may help with the evaluation or provide some opinion on the vehicle.

good luck

iirc, whe new, you took "your" 944 to Calloway.. they changed pistons, some headwork and added a turbo. Not simply a "turbo'd N/A". Plus, in 1983 there wasn't a factory turbo available yet. No doubt the Calloway cars further encouraged the factory to build their own.

Certainly a unique car - and therefore a unique buyer will be needed. No idea on what someone would pay for such a car.

>their were only 20 made

Are you saying that Callaway only turbo'd 20 Porsche 944s?

Sorry I haven't responded earlier to this post but I did not place it in this thread, I originally placed in the 944/1 forum. If you want you can go their under Callawy 944 to check it out for pics and facts about the car! ]

And yes as far as I know from research they only made 20.

Sorry about all of the confusion but I am just trying to find out if any one has heard of a Callaway 944 selling in the past that was in great condition. I did not say that I was looking to sell it right away if ever! I do appreciate all of the interest and compliments!

Someone on this forum and Rennlist with multiple 944s had one a while back and sold it a year or two ago, iirc. His username was tholyoak. According to his website, there were 38 made.

Thanks for the info I appreciate it! When I said 20 cars that they did, I meant 1983 944s, Sorry! I see you live near me, do you know of any good porsche tuners with a dyno so I can get the computer re-programed!

Sorry, I can't help. I had a stock '83 and did the work myself, so I never dealt with the Chicago Porsche shops much. I would think you'd have trouble finding someone that could work on a custom ECU that's almost 30 years old!
