This 1985 Porsche 944 represents a particularly compelling example of Porsche s iconic front-engine sports car, distinguished by its one-owner history, exceptional documentation, and remarkably well-preserved condition. Purchased new at Autohaus Fortense in Illinois, this 944 has remained with its original owner since day one and has accumulated just 59,731 original miles. Finished in the classic combination of Guards Red over a Black interior, the car captures the unmistakable styling that helped make the 944 one of Porsche s most recognizable models of the 1980s.
Power comes from Porsche s 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. The 944 s front-engine, rear-transaxle layout provides excellent weight distribution and balanced handling, while the naturally aspirated powertrain delivers the engaging, communicative character expected from a Porsche of this era. Importantly, this example has never been tracked and has been enjoyed strictly as a road car throughout its life.
The originality and documentation accompanying this 944 are particularly noteworthy. The car retains its original configuration with the exception of a Kenwood stereo, while the original stereo accompanies the sale for those wishing to return the interior to its factory specification. The sale also includes the original window sticker, build sheet, original bill of sale, all service records, and all keys. These records provide an unusually complete picture of the car s ownership and maintenance history from new.
Maintenance has consistently been entrusted to Porsche dealerships and German specialty shops, reflecting the care this 944 has received throughout its life. Most recently, the timing belt and oil were serviced in April 2026, providing important recent maintenance for its next owner. A Clean CarFax report further supports the vehicle s history, while its unmodified presentation and documented servicing make this a particularly appealing example for the enthusiast seeking an original, well-documented 944.
With its one-owner provenance, 59,731 original miles, classic Guards Red exterior, 5-speed manual transmission, extensive documentation, and recent maintenance, this 1985 Porsche 944 offers a rare opportunity to acquire an example that has been carefully preserved rather than extensively modified. From its original purchase at Autohaus Fortense to its continued care by Porsche and German specialty professionals, this 944 stands as a highly documented example of Porsche s celebrated sports-car lineage.

Garage Kept Motors, LLC specializes in classic and specialty online auto sales.
For our consignors, we are the only auto brokers that offer a Transparent Sale Disclosure. This means, when a car sells, we provide an exact copy of the Bill of Sale. We do this so our clients know exactly who bought their car, where it went, and most importantly how much we sold it for. No funny business.
For our buyers, our vehicles are listed on the Internet, with over 100 photos, including undercarriage pictures, and walk-around videos of the vehicles running plus a narrative-style write-up of the cars history and features. Our international exposure allows us to sell cars across the globe, and we sell a majority of them out of state and overseas. We deliver honesty and consistency in our photos and descriptions, a “no surprise” approach, so buyers, both near and far, can invest with confidence sight unseen. We are not a gallery. Vehicles can be seen locally by appointment as potential buyers are given our undivided attention.
