1979 Porsche 924 Base Coupe 2-door 2.0l on 2040-cars
Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Vehicle History: I purchased this car in 2011 repaired and partially restored it. The car had been sitting in a driveway for several years. I am the third owner of this vehicle. As far as I know the original owner had the car from new until around 2003. The second owner purchased the vehicle and had issues passing inspection because at the time it was not old enough to be registered as a classic. Some time around 2004 the car was parked and sat until I purchased it. The miles are approximate, the odometer is stuck at 35k. I believe the milage on this vehicle is accurate because the pervious owner had maintenance records and inspection documents from 2003-2004 with milage recorded. Vehicle Condition: The car is over all a very nice example of the year are model. Engine: Runs well and is complete. I changed fluids, some belts, hoses, fuel filters, plugs and had porsche mechanic replace warm up regulator so the car will start on even the coldest morning. Transmission: It has a 5 speed manual trans which I believe was a new option in 1979 and an improvement over the original 4 speed. The car does shift in and out of all the gears. The clutch is original, but in very good working order. Restoration that has been completed: Exterior: The car had minor surface rust on the roof and hood as well as some paint cracking on the passenger side. I sanded the roof, hood, and passenger side down to metal primed and repainted original color dark gray. The driver side of the car is still the original paint it is not perfect but it does match the new paint pretty nicely. The car looks nice and can be driven as is. Interior: I replaced the carpet through out the vehicle as it was very worn and badly faded. I recovered the steering wheel with a black leather kit. I Installed a dash cover as the original dash board was cracked. The original radio was broken so I replaced it with a Alpine CD player. The car has new battery, a set of four new Michelin tires, and a new seal around the sunroof. I did the work on the car with my dad and now would like to sell it to purchase a new and more reliable vehicle for daily use. I haven't driven the car much It is currently registered in PA as an Antique. I did drive the car from New Jersey to PA about 100 miles and had no issues. The car is fun to drive and pretty good on gas. You could spend more time, and relatively little effort to get the car perfect, or you could drive it as is. I live in PA. I am open for anyone local to stop by and see the car in person. For out of state buyers, you are responsible for your own transportation costs involved in getting the vehicle. I reserve the right to end the sale early and sell privately as I do have the car listed else where. I am happy to answer any questions. |

Gemballa reveals new Porsche 991-based GT convertible
Sun, 16 Sep 2012Gemballa went through the ringer last year, but rebounded with products that signal a complete turnaround. The latest is the recently-released Porsche 911 Carrera S with a Gemballa GT aerodynamics and technology package. Aero-wise, it includes carbon fiber additions beginning with a front bumper wearing the classic Gemballa air intake design and a lower, angrier splitter. New side skirts run from wheel to wheel, the final piece being a rear bumper in three sculpted horizontal sections featuring a rear diffuser tucked between six rectangular exhaust tips.
No engine mods have been made, but the technology part of the tune - springs that are 30 millimeters shorter yet still able to work with the PASM system - is claimed to make the car faster. Bringing things to a halt is a new Brembo brake system hiding behind 21-inch GForged wheels that are lighter than Porsche's standard 20-inchers.
The Gemballa GT aero kit runs €19,860 ($26,070 U.S.), which includes paint and installation if you happen to be in Germany, and we're assuming that includes the suspension modification, brakes and sport exhaust. The GForged wheels are another €9,895 ($12,989 U.S.) depending on your choice of tire. Check out the press release below for more info, and the photo gallery above for all the angles.
Porsche testing new 911 GTS
Wed, 28 May 2014Porsche may have one more vehicle in its stable with the GTS moniker, if these spy shots are any indication. They show off the presumed 911 GTS lapping the track - the model meant to slide in under the GT3 to be a bit more driver-friendly but still very fast alternative to a stock Carrera.
At first glance, it might look like any other 911, but the devil is in the details. The most obvious among the differences are two centrally mounted exhaust outlets, rather than the ones closer to the corners on most of the current models. They also aren't perfectly in the center like the GT3. The taillights are also somewhat thicker than the current ones, and the rear decklid is split into three exposed sections.
This is the third time we've seen the presumed GTS. The first was as a coupe late last year. Then it showed up again in March testing in convertible form. Although, that version also sported fender vents at the rear.
Porsche Panamera Turbo S vs Ariel Atom Supercharged in unlikely drag battle
Thu, 01 May 2014David versus Goliath battles are always an enticing proposition, because they offer the chance to watch scrappy underdogs take on their bigger rivals. Evo has set up just such a battle with its latest drag race between the minimalist Ariel Atom 3.5 Supercharged (Ariel Atom 3 pictured below) and the plush Porsche Panamera Turbo S.
The two cars couldn't be more different. The Atom personifies Lotus founder Colin Chapman's well-known axiom: "Simplify, then add lightness." Most of the car doesn't even have a body; it's just an exposed frame with a 310 horsepower supercharged Honda four-cylinder mounted behind the driver. On the other side, there's the Panamera Turbo S. In the latest version, it packs 570 hp and 553 pound-feet from its 4.8-liter twin-turbo V8 and it features all-wheel drive. Of course, all of that comes with a significant weight penalty.
Off the line, the differences are even more apparent. The Atom doesn't have any of the Porsche's technological wizardry, so launching it challenges the driver to build the revs and let out the clutch just right. The car screams like a banshee as it goes, though. The Porsche is the exact opposite. Its launch control system lets the driver hold down the brake, get on the throttle and accelerate away in just the right way.
