Offering for sale as is, where is. I have a porsche 924 non turbo. I originally bought this car for my Daughter but she has decided she wants something else. This one has to go before she can purchase something different. The 1981 model is the rarest of the 924's produced, total imports to the US were 2155 cars. Here is a link to the NADA price guide for this car http://www.nadaguides.com/Classic-Cars/1981/Porsche/924/2-Door-Coupe/Values
I just put 4 new tires on this car and it has not been driven 1 mile since putting them on. The old ones were starting to weather crack. I dont have license or insurance on this car so I took the rims off and hauled them to the tire shop. The only time they have hit the road is out of the driveway and into my cul de sac. The car has new side windows and a new front windshield. Some neighbor kids shot them out with a BB gun and were caught in action. Their parents paid to have them replaced with new. The passenger side door window is off the track for some reason and I haven't had time to take the car back to the installer. I'd have to load it on a trailer and haul it back down to fix it. It rolls up and down fine but leans toward the rear when rolling it up, you have to level it out by hand then roll it all the way up. It also has a new battery purchased last summer.
The paint is decent and there are minor dings and dents. The only real dents can be seen in the video's. One above the right rear wheel and one on the right front fender. Neither of which appear creased, should pop out. The driver mirror is loose, has to be taken off and tightened.
This is a 32 yr old car so perfection isn't gonna happen. There are various small issues to be expected with a unrestored car of this vintage. That being said this is one of the better unrestored 924's you will find. Runs good, steering tight and rides good. Reminds me of driving a go cart on steroids.
The engine runs well and sounds well. Transaxle shifts good and firm, clutch is good. The rear wheel cylinders started leaking a few Months ago. I installed new shoes and wheel cylinder kits. I did not have a .750 hone so I put the kits in without honing the cylinders. Guess what, they leaked again. Good thing is it has not been driven since so the kits probably are still good. Should just have to take them back out and hone the cylinders. Before they started leaking the brakes worked great. As you can hear in the video it has a belt squeal. I had not messed with this car since back in the summer so the battery was low. Cold here and the belt started squealing when I turned on the heat. Guess charging a low battery and running the heat was too much for a worn out belt. I wasn't gonna tighten it just for a video. It was 20 degrees outside. The AC worked last time it was used but the belt came off and has never been put back on. Everything is there except the belt.
The interior is like most cars of this age. Worn and faded. Everything except the tach is working. You can see in the video that the speedo is sticking out. I put in a new speedometer cable when I did the brakes. After the brakes were found to still be leaking I never finished putting the speedo in right. Kinda aggravated that day and just left it alone.
All the original tools and spare are still in the back. The leather suit bag and owners manual are still in the car.
Basically it is a 32 yr old sports car that runs and drives well. Needs a little TLC to be perfect. If you were looking for a restoration car this would be a perfect starting point. Looking for a daily driver here it is. These cars offer performance and handling along with a advertised 35 mpg highway.
This is located in Oakwood, OH 45873. Beware, there are 3 Oakwoods in Ohio. Look up the zip, we are in NorthWest, OH close to Paulding. The car is out in the driveway if you want to come look and hear it contact me.
Available for local pick up. Except for the leaky brake cylinders it is road worthy. You can fill the master cylinder and it takes a fewdays to leak down. You could probably drive it home. If you want it shipped you will have to make all of the arrangements. Due to my work schedule I can't help you out with shipping.
I've included links to youtube video's of this car that I took today. These video's should answer most questions but if you have any others ask and I'll try to answer.

Muffler Man gets racing suit to mark progress on Porsche Experience Center
Sat, 19 Oct 2013In a dramatic change of careers, a fiberglass Muffler Man statue on the side of a busy Los Angeles freeway, formerly known as "Golf Guy," traded in his clubs for a Porsche driver's suit a couple days ago. It's no coincidence, as he's standing on land that the German automaker bought from the Dominguez Hills Golf Course a couple years ago to build its west coast Porsche Experience Center - which will be complete with a test track, restoration and maintenance facilities, a cafe and restaurant, a home for Porsche Motorsports North America and more, when it's finished in the fourth quarter of 2014.
The Porsche Muffler Man will serve as the gatekeeper to the 53-acre center and overlook the test track on the side of the 405 freeway. We can't think of a better job for a fiberglass giant that used to watch golf all day than to watch Porsche road cars and racecars getting wrung out on a test track in the middle of LA. Since Muffler Men are quite adaptable, we're sure this one will fit into his new role in no time - just as easily as he can double as Paul Bunyan.
Check out the press release below for more information on the Muffler Man and the experience center, which could be the ultimate adult playground when it's finished.
Porsche announces four flavors of updated Cayenne [w/video]
Thu, 24 Jul 2014The new Macan may be getting all the attention lately, but Porsche hasn't forgotten about its larger crossover - the one that put it on the map in 2002 and on the road to profitability, with over half a million sold so far. So to keep the Cayenne at the top of its game, Porsche has announced several key upgrades for the 2015 model.
For starters, Porsche has updated the Cayenne's appearance with new front- and rear-end styling. The front bumper, fenders and hood are entirely new, with air fins flanking the nose to direct air into the intercoolers (each model now being artificially aspirated), and new bi-xenon headlamps and daytime running LEDs on every model but the Turbo, which goes all-LED. Around back there's also new taillights, tailgate handle, lower rear fascia and exhaust pipes. Meanwhile the interior has been upgraded with a 918-derived sport steering wheel and reformed rear seats with available ventilation.
The bigger news is under the engine bay, where Porsche is offering four choices. The base model is gone as the range starts with the Cayenne Diesel, followed by the Cayenne S, the new Cayenne S E-Hybrid and the top-of-the-line Cayenne Turbo. The Diesel model carries over the same 3.0-liter turbo diesel with 240 horsepower. The Cayenne S however packs a 3.6-liter twin-turbo V6 that's similar to the one found in the Macan Turbo and packs the same 406 lb-ft of torque but more power at 420 hp, 20 more than either its little brother or the model it replaces to reach 62 mph in 5.2 seconds.
This FL man accused of stealing drivers licenses has best tattoo ever
Thu, 10 Jul 2014Bentley and Porsche are two of the jewels in Volkswagen Group's luxury brand crown, but in Florida they also have a very tenuous connection with crime. With his multiple face and neck tattoos, including a Bentley logo right between his eyes, Derek Denesevich (pictured above) has been charged with the surprising crime of alleged identity theft. He recently surrendered to a Florida court, and could face seven years in prison, if convicted.
You might wonder where Porsche fits into this. According to the Sun Sentinel, Denesevich's accomplice was one Porscha Kyles, who worked for the Broward Clerk of Courts. She allegedly used her access to driver's license records to steal information and sell it to Denesevich. He is then accused of filing fraudulent income taxes to recoup the refund checks.
According to the Sentinel, Kyles has already pleaded guilty to conspiracy and identity theft and was sentenced to three years and one day in prison. The duo reportedly stole over 100 identities and made at least $120,000. Scroll down for a video about this pair of auto-related criminals.
