Since there is no Porsche "944" model option in the listing wizard, I'm listing in the 911 category.
This Rothmans Porsche 944 Turbo Cup was featured in the October 1990 Porsche Panorama magazine. I bought the car in 2020 (as part of a pair of 944 Turbo Cup cars) and its an honest survivor with original livery paint, interior, and mechanical components. This is NOT a car that has sustained crash damage and then resprayed. I've invested $60,000 in mechanical refurbishment to its drivetrain, brakes, fuel systems, lines, electrical systems, and safety features for road use so that I could enjoy the car with my son. The car retains its original factory German fire extinguisher and plumbing into the engine compartment along with its original battery kill switches, ABS switches, Matter safety cage decals throughout the car, and more. Included in the sale are a rare spare set of Porsche factory 16” magnesium Turbo Cup wheels ($10,000 value), two full Porsche exhaust systems (street exhaust to pass emissions testing, and race exhaust) and Bill Adam’s Porsche racing jacket from the Rothmans series (priceless).
The car comes with a receipt file containing over 30 years of service receipts.
Original CASC season race logbooks.
Ownership history is fully documented since 1988; copies of Bills of Sale and buyer correspondence will be provided to prove chain of ownership.
Interview transcript with Canadian Pragmatics' crew chief Terry Cleland who details the race history of car during Rothmans series including a commitment by Jacques Villeneuve to drive the car in the 1989 season, before Jacques received a Corvette GTP drive in IMSA -- thus, paving the way for Bill Adam to drive the car in 1989 and 1990.
We are a 25-year PCA family that has displayed this car at PCA Cars & Coffee events in Austin as well as DE events at The Circuit of the Americas. This 944 Turbo Cup has a clean Texas title, Texas (PCA) personalized license plates, inspection through 2025 -- ready to enjoy on the street or track. This car qualifies for HSR and other historic racing series for factory-built race cars.
More photos and a 3-ring binder of documentation is available for serious buyers to review.
