1980 Porsche 924 Turbo Coupe 2-door 2.0l on 2040-cars
Orchard Park, New York, United States
|
The Good: To quote 924.org "The 924 Turbo, aka 931 model. Probably the most economical Porsche with the greatest performance and performance up-gradability of all the cars built in the late 70s to mid 80s." This is a very nice 924 Turbo overall. I have owned it for 9 years. It's a white car, black leather interior. 5 speed manual, manual sunroof. She has no rust on her and is a wonderful drive. There's no other telling feature of this car that it is a Porsche than when you drive it. When the Turbo kicks in, you can't help but smile. It has nice handling too. Nice rims and all 4 tires are new. Seats were recently upholstered and carpet died as it had faded over time. It has a new radio/CD player. Ignition was re-done and now has push-start under steering wheel. Dash had some cracks but I installed a cover and it looks brand new. Undercarriage is remarkable for being 34 years old. I have the "Porsche" and "924 Turbo" decals for the back but they are not on the car. The car is currently on the road under collector's insurance. The Bad: Previous owner disconnected speedo so mileage is unknown. It currently reads 44,000 KM (which is only 27,800 miles) but I did a basic rebuild on the engine less than 1,000 miles ago - Piston rings, Gaskets, and honed the cylinders out. The car is 34 years old so it is missing a couple of things. It needs speakers, rear window supports, rear windshield wiper motor (has worked before but it's not connected). The A/C does not work but could be as simple as a re-charge. It has a small draw of electricity somewhere so if you let it sit, the battery will die if not disconnected. Nothing major is wrong, it passes inspection. I will not ship this car unless you cover all the costs. I'd prefer local pickup but will consider meeting somewhere with it to cut down travel time if negotiated beforehand. I accept PayPal. Message me for any questions and I will try to answer asap. |

2014 Porsche Panamera arrives with new E-Hybrid, long-wheelbase models
Wed, 03 Apr 2013Porsche will officially unveil the refreshed 2014 Panamera at the Shanghai Motor Show later this month, and there's a whole lot in store for the updated model, far beyond the minimal styling tweaks you see here. Sure, there's a new fascia with more prominent LED lighting (including full LED headlamps) and the rump has been tweaked ever so slightly, but the big news for 2014 concerns what's underneath that rakish skin.
First up, Porsche will now offer a Panamera S E-Hybrid model - a plug-in hybrid that builds on the technology first introduced in the Panamera S Hybrid that we tested in 2011. For this new application, a more powerful electric motor and higher-performance battery have been fitted (official specs have not been released just yet), and Porsche says the battery can be recharged in just two and a half hours when the car is plugged in to a 240-volt outlet, and the charging (as well as other vehicle data) can be monitored via a new Porsche Car Connect app available for Android and iOS devices.
The E-Hybrid will have an all-electric driving range of "greater than 20 miles" and will be able to travel at speeds up to 84 miles per hour solely on electric power.
This Porsche 356 family keeps it outlaw
Wed, 29 Oct 2014Rod Emory was the founder of Emory Motorsports in Burbank, CA, and the scion to a family tradition of building "outlaw" Porsches that are almost as cool as the cars themselves. The lovingly modified Porsche 356s are lovely artifacts, and their story, along with the story of their builders, is pitch-perfect for the Petrolicious oeuvre of beloved classics.
Tune in for the history lesson, and then stick around for the car candy.
Former Porsche CEO Wiedeking indicted over VW takeover bid
Thu, 20 Dec 2012Do you recall the failed efforts by Porsche to take over Volkswagen? According to a Bloomberg report, former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above) and ex-CFO Holger Haerter have finally been charged with market manipulation over the exercising of options as part of the German sportscar manufacturer's ill-fated attempt to take over the much larger VW. That failed bid eventually resulted in the reverse coming true - VW swallowing Porsche.
The charges leveled by Stuttgart prosecutors come after a three-year investigation centered around allegations that Porsche execs made a concerted effort to increase the company's share in VW to 75 percent in preparation for a hostile takeover. Porsche had previously told its investors on at least five occasions that it had no intention to buy VW.
Portions of the investigation have subsided, according to prosecutors, citing an inability to prove certain improprieties with a "necessary degree of certainty." The number of charges is down to 5 from a previous 14 counts regarding "information-based market manipulation."
