Honestly, though, the Scirocco's far more deserving. What a beautiful car. The bumpers are questionable, but still.

While I was covering the event, I was able to drive one of the Callaway Corvettes, and my passenger was none other than Reeve Callaway himself....

With only 117 hp from the engine, maybe I would just keep this car as is for now and let the next owner enter PCH. Used Sciroccos are probably available for less than $1000. Buy a separate one and throw a 1.8T in it.
I recognize that crimped ground connector attached to the valve cover. I once spent a hellish trip from San Diego to Pullman, WA with that wire partially disconnected. The fuel injection system does not like that wire to be disconnected. With vibration, water, and the movement of the engine, the stock wire is under constant stress. On the Scirocco, this one needs to be replaced with a soldered brown wire.

The second gen Scirocco had not the same apeal as the first gen.

The problem with the Corrado was the price of it. Still think it has a nice design.

Nice Price . . . finally!

Now if it was a 928 with Tom Cruise's signature on the dash I'd pay 45k.

But, although I know that somewhere there is a Porschephile that will pay that much for the rarity, I just can't vote nice price for a third day in a row.
It's a lot of money for a 944, and you'll no doubt go through a lot of really expensive 944 clutches.
So, I'll concede that it's probably a nice price, but in my mind, it's just too much money for a 944.
Wait. Was it owned by Reagan?

My mechanics would probably take a whack at it but these are guys that think anything can be made more-better with a small block. And they're usually right.

That doesn't mean I wouldn't want to have one-- I'm just saying it's a poor idea, and a really nice 944 is worth about $4500.
