Interesting.
I just saw this one too: https://collectingcars.com/for-sale/1988-porsche-944-turbo-se
It'll be interesting to see what the Turbo goes for. The main challenge with this one is the cat C history.

Cat C isn't too bad & at this age most cars have had more work than a Cat C repair usually entails - I was quite taken with that turbo but there looks to be some badly matched paint & my more obssessive tendencies wouldn't cope...

All depends why it's Cat C Pete, and how it was repaired. A good panel beater/new panels and some minor filling, or rusty second hand panels and a bucket of filler. Or something stolen/recovered that's jumped kerbs and been hammered. Anything high performance, and there's too many unknowns for my dosh.

Oh, I agree Paul, personally I wouldn't buy a cat c but it may not be that bad. When it was reg as Cat c values were a third of what they are today and they continued to fall further to about half that again before going up to where they are today. What I'm saying is, back then the damage could have been very light to make it an uneconimical repair. But yes, it could still be a can of worms.

I was referring to the work required in comparison to that undertaken in a restoration/recommission, as opposed to the value. Agreed - Cat C usually knocks 10-25% off the value of a car, hence can be interesting to bargain hunters/tightwads like me.
The one on collecting cars looks broadly ok, barring some poor paint matching from certain angles - it's probably worth a punt. I looked at a different Cat C 944 and all the shutlines on the front end were out of whack - hence I looked at it and decided not to look for much longer.

A 944 doesn't have the tightest shut lines from new. I remember reading that there's a slight variation in the left and right rear wheel arch heights from the factory. And when setting up the ride height you should take your measurements from underneath the car. Though years ago when I was looking for a 944, one blue turbo had a gap at the back of the drivers door I could fit my fingers right into. That one was definitely bent.
