  • FS: 1979 Porsche 924

    I really hate to sell the 924 as I had plans for a full-out restoration (it would make an easy restoration project) somewhere down the road...Alas, priorities change and I have to let it go due to a newfound lack of storage space. The car was used as a summer/road-trip car until I put it into storage last autumn, it hasn't been driven much this year apart from the few times I tinkered with it and took it out for a quick drive around the block. It's a well-running example that can be daily driven as well, it never game me any real grief that wasn't a simple fix during periods of daily-commuting and numerous road trips. It's quite decent for a 31 year old car that hasn't had major work done to it. Still a joy to drive in that old-school way...

    Recent-ish work:
    - Timing belt + radiator replaced 2 years ago
    - Radiator flush + new coolant last summer
    - New thermostat last summer
    - New driver's side power window regulator last summer
    - Various fuel lines
    - High-pressure fuel pump

    General info:
    - Mint interior
    - Engine runs well, no idle issues, no cold-start or common hot-start fuel injection issues. Engine doesn't miss. No excessive oil consumption/no coolant consumption. No visibile smoke from the exhaust.
    - 5-speed "dogleg" transaxle
    - No visible coolant/oil leaks on ground when car is parked over extended periods of time
    - dual electric cooling fans

    Things that could use some TLC further down the road:
    - Odometer stopped working a few hundred km ago. The odometer on these cars only hold 5 digits as well, so once the odo reaches 100 000km it resets to zero. Currently sitting at 71xxxkm.
    - The paint on the front valence and hood isn't perfect
    - Exhaust leak at the manifold (common issue, car is perfectly driveable with the exhaust leak but is louder, smellier and sounds a bit more like a flat-4 haha...)
    - The dampers and tires could use a refresh as they're getting up there in age


    Asking price is $2,500obo. No trades.

        Really wish I was in a position to buy this, my dad had one wayyyyy back in the day and I've always wanted to have one in the garage.

        Best of luck with the sale!
