No One Bid On This V8 Swapped Porsche 944 Turbo at Auction... SO WE BOUGHT IT!

We bought a 1986 Porsche 944 Turbo with a chevy 5.7l V8 engine swap! A base 944 goes from about 150HP to about 400HP with the swap. We got this Porsche cheap at auction sight unseen and we're thinking to either sell it for a profit or keep it longer term. No one wanted to bid on the auction so we ended up getting it cheap! We've had many dirt cheap Porsche 944s and Boxsters, but it's very rare to find them with an LT1/LS1 motor conversion. What do you think of this beast?

Surprisingly other than the 5.7V8, this Porsche is really well taken care of. Quite a nice little Sleeper too, more than double the base power.

[@tennnis498]

I wonder why you don’t share the $ numbers, yet ask viewers to decide whether to keep or sell. I mean it obviously comes down to numbers for you.

[@raymondmarble69]

944's are what brought me to your channel. Great to see you still buying them! Thanks a lot guys.

[@SS1Garage]

Cool V8 swapped 944 .The LS 3 is a little bit lighter motor than a SBC 350 because its aluminum but an iron block LS 1 is about the same weight as an SBC 350 . I have a SBC V8 swapped 944 myself and they are a blast . Ive had mine 20 years and its had many changes over the years .Once you get used to working on them they are fairly simple. I used a 944 Hybrids kit out of Texas on mine . I just put a slick paint job on it last year and added some motor mods as well as a glass sunroof . I have a few videos of it on my channel .Thanks for sharing your find .

[@marshman997]

Keep the Porsche content coming!!!!

[@928pcar]

That’s no Porsche anymore

[@bkad6238]

You guys need to find someplace you can drive faster than 35mph.😁

[@TheRealGamingFoxy]

Three great things combined Jr Garage, Porsche 944, and a good ol V8!!!

[@adamwright6433]

The 5.7 is what was in the Pontiac Trans AM GTA and possibly the Camaro Iroc-Z for that time. We were still coming out of the Era of low horsepower and focusing on better miles per gallon. This and the Ford Mustang 5.0 started changing and the Vettes started to get back to where they should be, also. Speaking of Vettes (Corvette), guys should buy a couple!

[@fritzah]

L98 was in GTA and IROC, LT1 was in 93-97 4th gen

[@charliecox6701]

Loving the 944 content! My dad had a mid 80s red 944, pretty sure i have an old school photo of me standing up holding the steering wheel (I’d have been 2 at the time!)

[@jobanski]

What a beautiful set up! Everything just seemed right with that car.

[@sebastianm.8383]

this looks really like there was never been another engine in this car, it fits perfectly and 400HP, this is the power it deserves......

[@Phoenixautosales]

I was bidding on this one till the end and stopped so I guess it was you guys that won it lol. My cars were selling on that Sunday at Barrett Scottsdale.

[@roberttowsley8958]

Love any and all Porsche content!🎉

[@WildDigger]

That is a cool swap. Make the profit while you can. Good flip. 👍

[@tonyo6672]

Nice watchable channel guys! You always make it interesting, and honest, the love for the things you do come over really well! Good luck to you, and will keep watching the vids.....

Good eye... great find!

[@dickdegraaff5452]

Hi Bros, The new owner of Porsche 944 Turbo is blessed with such a semi classic car what runs perfectly.. lokk forward to your nest vlog and send you love from the Netherlands

[@ahmedhossainnafis]

Man these cars look absolute bonkers! Really cool

[@jeffmac3071]

It would be great to hear the profit / loss numbers on the 944 LS.

[@radiodave1]

Man! At only $11,000 you bought thing cheap! Congrats

[@andrewmurphy565]

Should definitely do a "selling 7 cars in 7 days" that hanger is bumper to bumper with an inch between each car

[@rallycrosscraig]

Watching from the U.K, have owned quite a few 944 turbo models including a nice late model which with some upgrades had around 300 bhp which we took round the Nurburgring. This looked like a really good conversion, never seen a v8 swapped 944 here in the uk but sure it would be a huge amount of fun in such a well balanced car.

[@WayApp]

Kudos to you for recognizing the hidden gem!✌

[@GreenthumbMafia]

Vantage is a sweet car guys yesterday's video was unique,,, exited for this video thanks brothers

[@Coyote9smilespergallon]

That exhaust sounds great! I always wanted to swap one of these I almost bought a blew up one 15years ago for 2k but couldn’t

[@adriennefoley2906]

Nice start to my day …… Christian fix🥰😍😘

[@clangdon1436]

Pull the boat anchor and swap an LS7 in it .

[@alpha2turbo]

$11k was a steal for this. Nice non turbos around me go for about 8k. Beat ones are $4-6k.

[@poormansporsche744]

That was an awesome car! Also any update on that 981 GTS?

[@wassiliproductions]

Man wish I could buy such a thing over here, you're lucky with the auctions lol! Would love to own a 944 with a v8 engine :D

[@Skiridr22]

Keep the swaps coming

[@ojil69420]

Wow i love it.. i hope i can build a 944 with a TT V10 someday

[@manstersr]

The real sweet conversion is the LS-2 6.0 all aluminum engine 400hp vs 300 of the LT-1. Renegade hybrids has a few videos of 944, 911, 928, 914, Boxters and 968 LS conversions. The big thing right now is to find a Boxster, 993 or 996 that had an ISB failure and the engine is junk to slap an LS into.

[@hamishcruden7623]

Great video, well done, move it on, take a small turn and let someone else take possession...

[@2philly7venz]

Dude!!! I NEED that V8 944!!

[@bernardwarr4187]

Really cool car, transformation with a v8! Only needs a 3 piece, split rim conversion on those wheels?

[@Adams5138]

Thinking of LS swapping an automatic 944. Wondering what I would have to do to about the trans…

[@cchrist58]

SELL IT !! Great Vlog .........Bless

[@jonathancolbert6666]

Hold on a minute, 0:34, was that a Porsche 914 I just saw??

[@airgunningyup]

yep

[@thomashelm6931]

I bought one just like it, new, in 1975

[@goldenace716]

Yeah honestly, I'd probably do front lip, wheels and tires, and paint match the spoiler the literally leave it alone. That's nice

[@waxingchandler3895]

I want to see that 914! Looks like maybe a 74 2.0?

[@cablelag]

Replace that LT1 with an LS3. ❤

[@tomroberson5040]

My brother did a 928 motor swap of a chevy v8 to a 928 porche it was very smooth

[@dannyllerenatv8635]

Love all the "leaves you scratching your head" cars in the garage, it's honestly at times even more entertaining than a lot of high HP builds or supercar content.

[@rendlemansrusticflagsmore4102]

Being a fan of 944's this is my dream. A v8 944. I need this car

[@eliduplichan2356]

What auction do y’all go to to get the cars? Just wondering.

[@michaelhawkins5530]

You need a bigger garage/storage facility for your vehicles. I have always loved the exterior styling of the 944.

[@CharlesDeMar]

I would’ve kept it, but prob better if someone else can use it and take good care of it. Excellent example of a 944 tho!

[@michaelbolshazy3532]

perfect vegas car! i happen to live in Vegas!

When’s the 997 LS3 going for sale 👀👀👀

[@snflupigus]

Wondered who picked this up, saw it there and wished I would have been registered because I knew it would be stolen based on going the last day no reserve. .. It was for sale on FB market local out of SunCity for 25k. Guy didn't respond to me. I already have an lt1 944, almost identical, but this has a nicer exterior.

[@user-od9iz9cv1w]

Great flip. Nice car. Would be a ton of fun, but when you have 50 cars including that gorgeous 911 LS you do not need it.
