Especially over the past week. Basically, the debate has gone somewhat like this: How come the 944 can’t shed the stigma of being the “Poor man’s Porsche” or “not a real Porsche?” At first we talked about how the reason might be because it was VW collaboration. However, @KeithChasesClassics quickly debunked that argument with three numbers: 914. We then talked about how it may be because of its high production number of 163K units.

So, after looking around for a bit we found a pretty good example we thought would be good to kick off the conversation with: A recently reconditioned white/burgundy 944 with 135K miles and plenty of life left in the all-alloy 2.5 L inline-four. So join the debate and tell us your story about the 944 or why you think this car might still be stuck at the crossroads of being a classic 😎 _____________________________________________ 🚘 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo 💯 Extensively reconditioned 📰 @Fast_Classics 📸 @Fast_Classicss 💵 Offered at £17,995 _______________________________________________ #classic #classiccar #collect #icon #classiccarchasers #carphotography #forsale #drivetastefully #porsche #944 #modernclassic #cccdebate #fastclassics #london #uk".
