looking into buying well sorted 944 ls1 convsersion...where to look?

I have owned 2 944's in the past and want to upgrade to an already converted vehicle, because I don't want the hassle or unforeseen expenses of doing the conversion myself or at a shop. Can anyone tell me a good place to start looking?

Here or eBay...

Where are you located?

This car is awesome and will scare you if not careful.

No offers, no haggling $15,000......it will cost you that (just for parts) to do it properly.

Reason for sale, I have taken a one year contract and have to move, can't take the 948, better it's sold than sit and rot.

15K for that sounds like a bargain to me.

Oh no! Bummer Mike. Hope it's an awesome gig.

Nice Mike. Sounds like a sweet gig.

JCR150, you should definitely consider his car. He's put a lot of work into it.

I am located in RI, where are you located? I would need to figure out shipping costs as well and hiring indipendant inspection for me if it is very far from here, I don't have a lot of time to travel with my job.

Car is located in Vero Beach, FL
I am moving on the 11th of August, car goes into storage on the 10th.
If you are serious the deal must be done and paid for by the 10th.

I will get back to you by the first at the latest...

I've been debating off and on selling mine. At least, I debate it until the next time I drive it. However, for the right offer I'd probably sell it.

Mine's an '88 951 with a 2001 LS1. I've replaced almost all wearable parts on it, so mechanically it's great. It's also got new carpet (with dynamat underneath), a new dash, and was repainted a couple years ago. It also has:

• KW v3 coilovers with Dynatech strut brace.
  
• Volk TE-37 wheels, 18x8 front, 18x10 rear.
  
• ABSpowerbrake electric power brakes
  
• Weltmeister short shift kit.
  
• Turn One PS pump.
  
• Turbo trans with LSD and NA 5th.
  
• Cruise and AC.
  
• 8 way power seats.
  
• Momo steering wheel.
  
• Rear seat delete.
  
• NA gauges cause the turbo gauge wasn't needed anymore.
  
• Sunroof was converted from power to manual.
  

On my todo list:

• Install VSS. The wires have been run to the transaxle and are just waiting for the sensor to be installed, which I have. Was planning to do it sometime soon when it wasn't so damn hot.
  
• The driver's seat has one small tear on the seat.
  
• I have 10 speaker door panels I planned on installing one day. The car has normal door panels now but doesn't have a radio.
  
• The power door locks don't work. Never looked into why; I just use the key.
  

It's a blast to drive and I only drive it when there's no hint of rain. It's always garaged, even at work. It has no rust.

I'm in northern VA and I was thinking around 14K. Though maybe now I'm thinking 15K after seeing fliermike45's. I'm somewhat negotiable. (I have receipts for almost everything, and the total put in this car the past several years is well over twice that.)

Old engine shot. The coolant tank has been replaced with an NA one. The clutch MC has also been replaced with a Westwood one. The PS pump has been replaced with a Turn One.

Flier Mike, do you have any pictures of the inside of the car?

No Inside pics, I have moved out of state and the car is in storage. The deadline for purchase has passed. Sorry

Modian, is your car still up for possible sale?

selling mine im in south florida conversion done by mike gookey heres my ad price is negotiable posted higher than what im really looking for because its craigslist [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] was installed with tpcs kit call 5612512773 for details

Other than Mike's reason.....why would anyone want to sell one of these beasts!? I have owned mine for far too long....without the conversion....and once its done I can't imagine selling it.

I agree. Once I had the car completed..(are they every REALLY completed?) I would be hard pressed to sell it. I just picked up an 86 Turbo out of Ft.Worth Texas. It has a ton of go fast goodies as it sits. Will play with it as is for now while I collect parts for this swap. I still have another year or so over here in the Sandy Afghani Paradise...So when I am done.. I will do the install.

Yea I'm parts collecting and doing what I can when I can. Got our first little due in a few weeks so getting everything prepped for her arrival has kept me pretty busy. But, I sure am having fun buying stuff here and there for my build. Heck by time I'm done the motor is gonna be too nasty to even drive daily...."too nasty" .....is there such a thing?? Nah

Get back safe man!

Scratch that... deal fell through. Guy sold it before I could get him the cash. Oh well. So.. still on the hunt for a good turbo car to build into an LS1 car.

my ls1 944 is still for sale if you dont want to deal with the wiring headaches 15k is craigslist price not real price problem is everyone on craigslist low balls

Modian,
is your car still for sale ?

VERY interested in if Modians car is still for sale.
