Car Forum / Porsche / Porshe 944 / June 200583 944 convertible??
Ok guys.....what have I got? I picked up a 1983 944 convertible about a year ago and parked it in the garage and havent played with it yet. Any ideas if this was a conversion done at the factory or??? It looks like a factory deal. Anyone ever see one. Its got carrera gt on the trunk lid and UGLY black luggage racks on the trunk. Thanks! :\) :\) <porshapower@webtv.net> wrote: : Ok guys.....what have I got? I picked up a 1983 944 convertible about a : year ago and parked it in the garage and havent played with it yet.

Regards, Martin that would leave one heck of a lift-over, not to mention exhaust fumes in the cabin unless they blocked it off.... I actually prefer the 928 Spyder conversion that is still offered up for sale, in my mind that would have been a much better product then the Boxster.. > They removed the hatch and formed a bed, much like the Subaru Brat. > [quoted text clipped - 59 lines] >>> >>> : I knew about the 911, but a 928 Pickup yuk... How about a 1976 : Cadillac,jacked up with a 4x4 drive train, painted Metallic Line Green The 928 pickup article I read was about taxes and how as a sports car it was taxed some heavy $ amount, but in the european country that it was registered in, as a compact pickup, it was taxed far less...
