1988 Porsche 944 Turbo Cup
This particular example, Chassis # WP0AA0950JN165096, is a low-mileage 944 Turbo Cup with only 10,099 km (6275 miles) on the odometer and a single private owner. On top of multiple podium finishes throughout its history, this pedigreed racer was driven by famed driver Ron Fellows in the 1990 Series to an 8th overall finish and still proudly wears that same livery.
Just before the last race of the 1990 series, the engine was reportedly rebuilt by Ron Fellows' team and still has the Porsche stamped lead clamps adorning the engine. Following the end of the series, this Porsche was purchased by the second owner in 1990, who removed the magnesium oil pan to keep it safe (The rare magnesium oil pan is included with the sale of the car). The car is all original from the rear quarters forward, including the hood, windshield, and other glass. Despite being involved in a rear-end collision with Ron at the wheel during the 1990 season, the accident damage was repaired properly, leaving the car in the proper spec and condition.
This rare Turbo Cup will need some normal timeout and safety items addressed before it is ready to hit the track again but it runs and drives without an issue as it is. These Weissach factory-built Porsche race cars are few and far between, making examples at this price point with such low mileage and exceptional history, an absolute must-have for both Porsche collectors and race enthusiasts alike. Given their pedigree, they are eligible for HSR, PCA Club Races, and more while also perfectly gracing the lawn of any Porsche-specific concours event.
Upon purchase, the new owner will receive a copy of the log book, numerous spare parts, including a seat, suspension components, the original steering wheel utilized by Ron Fellows, a 944 Turbo Cup transmission, the original magnesium oil pan, and more, along with period photos featuring this 944 Turbo Cup in its glory days.
*Please Note*- This is a Race Car and, as such, is sold on a Bill of Sale only, with no title included.
