Up for auction is this running 1981 Porsche 924 that i purchased a couple of months ago to restore for my wife.Well things have changed and we just purchased a house and are going to be moving in a few weeks so some of my projects just have to go.Before i go any further ,let me clear a few things up about the car.First of all i have listed the mileage as 100000 which is probably pretty close. The previous owner stated to me that when they purchased the car that the speedometer didnt work so they had a used speedometer put in that read 46000 miles but they never thought about marking down what the original spedometer read.So long story short i figured it would better to say the car has more mileage than it probably does.The odometer reads 46745. One last thing,this car has a clear open Pensylvania title.By open i mean that the title has been signed by previous owner but i have not filled in the purchaser information and have not registered it.OK, now on to about the car.There is a lot to cover here so rather than jumping all over the place about its condition, IM going to list all the good and then all the not so good ! Please be aware that even though this car runs and drives that i would STRONGLY consider it a project car.I would also HIGHLY reccomend that the car be trailored or towed.Remember it is a 26 year old car and things like belt and hoses have a way of going at the worst times! When i purchased the car i was told it had been sitting in the garage for atleast a year and it still has about 1/16 tank of that old fuel in it.
Now the good list. The 2.0 fuel injected engine runs pretty good,doesnt smoke or burn oil and has great oil pressure, 40lb at idle cold ,25 lb at idle when warmed up.at about 2000 rpm oil pressure jumps to about 60 lbs.
Both power windows work but the passenger side is slow going up and down.
Both power mirrors work
There is a new timing belt included (see picture of seat)
all gauges appear to work.
both headlight work,all tail lights work,turn signals work front and rear,emergency flashers work.brake lights work,dash lights work,horn works,steering feels tight,suspension feels tight,brakes good,tranny shifts good and smooth,has a new clutch,pressure plate and throughout bearing (see picture) and new clutch cable.Please note that i removed tha check plate cover to get picture of the clutch and it has since been put back on.Body is solid and i havent noticed any rust underneath the car (see picture).Has an aftermarket chrome muffler with what looks like a stainless pipe and resonater (see picture).All 4 tires are in good useable condition,maybe 12 to 15000 miles left on them.(see picture)
OK, now for all the not so good !!
The rear main seal leaks pretty good and will need to be replaced. The sunroof was sealed with silicone and then topped off with duct tape,yeah what a mess.Well i have removed all the tape and silicone and the sunroof now opens but will need a new gasket and obviously refinishing along with the roof section.(see picture) Carpet is in OK condition as far as ware and tare but VERY dirty! Emergency brake works but needs adjustment.Rear hatch wont stay up but i have replacement lift struts for it that are included.The dash pad is in bad condition but has one of those coverlays on it (plastic cover) Rear view mirror needs to be reglued to the windshield. All of the body side moldings are missing (see pictures) When you look at both sides of the car, those black lines down the sides in the middle are where the mouldings would have been, what you are seeing is the glue that is left.Sun visor clips are missing.Dome light between visors is missing.Headliner behind sunroof is torn.Heater fan works but makse noise (fan is hitting blower housing. AC does not work.Heater, defrost and ac slide controls dont work and i have no idea why,best guess is when they put the stereo in they unhooke everything for some reason and never hooked things back up.This car has some electrical issues,a few examples are that when i first got it none of the light worked,after cleaning some of the fuse terminals all of the lights came to life, including the po up headlights. another example is the wipers did work flawlessly but of course today they didnt .Chances are its a fuse issue again but i really dont have the time to check it out.The radio antenna is broken.The car has been repainted at one time and it was a really amatureish job at best.There are small dings and dents all over the car.There is a small area of rust comming through at the driver side rear wheel oppening (see picture). Driver side exterior door handle sticks a little,inside rod needs adjustment. inside handle works smoothly.Both front seats need to be either reupholstered or just replace seats.Last but not least ,there is whats called a thermo time switch which is bassically a choke for the fuel injection.Well i have had to add a jumper lead to make it function.Just put the jumper on and car start normally then after about 30 seconds unhook and go on your way.Its probably just another electrical issue but i just havent had the time to diagnose it properly.
Well, i think i have covered just about everything. Oh, all of the pictures were taken today (4/16/13) .Please note that the exterior pictures make the car look a lot better than it actually looks like up close, all of the dings and flaws in the paint didnt show up.If you need more pictures please feel free to email me but please be spicific about what areas you want pictures of.
One last time! In my opinion this is a project car! Also in my opinion this car will need to be either towed or trailored and is not road worthy at this time.
Winning bidder to pay a $100.00 NON REFUNDABLE deposit through Paypal within 24 hours of auction end.Balance to be paid in CASH at time of pickup.Sorry but i do not accept checks of any kind,no exceptions!!! Car is to be removed from my property within 7 days of auction end unless other arrangements have been agreed to BEFORE you bid.
One last note- If the reserve price is not reached i may consider reasonable offers!
Well ,thanks for looking and have a great day!

Porsche prioritizes 200,000-unit sales target over exclusivity [w/poll]
Thu, 21 Aug 2014Would a Porsche still be a Porsche if it weren't as exclusive? That's the question which industry pundits are asking - and customers may soon as well - as the German automaker emerges from the fringe in pursuit of larger volumes.
A dozen years ago Porsche was barely selling over 50,000 units per annum. In a sales surge that has gathered pace as fast as a 911 Turbo, however, it was already hovering around the 100,000-unit mark a few years later. Last year it sold over 160,000, and has targeted 200,000 units by 2018. But it may not even take that long.
Automotive News reports that Porsche has advanced its targets to reach for 200,000 units by the end of this year or the next. The bump in sales would be driven particularly by the introduction of the new Macan, of which it aims to sell 50,000 units annually, starting next year. The Cayenne currently stands far and away as its most successful model. The 911 and Panamera have swapped second place a few times over the past five years, followed by the Boxster and Cayman.
All Porsche 911s to get turbos in 2015?
Sun, 19 Oct 2014Currently, Porsche builds two turbocharged 911s - the Turbo and the Turbo S (and their cabriolet counterparts). The rest of the 911 range, meanwhile, is motivated by either 3.4- or 3.8-liter flat-sixes of varying outputs. This clear separation could be set to change in the very near future, though, as rumors continue to swirl that Porsche's rear-engined range could switch exclusively to turbocharged power.
This time, it's Car projecting that the 911 range will go turbocharged as part of a mid-cycle refresh, with the base Carrera's 3.4-liter dropping to 2.9 liters and adding an iron lung, bumping the entry level 911 up to 400 horsepower. Yes, a 400-horsepower, entry level 911. The Carrera S, meanwhile, will retain its 3.8-liter engine, but will also benefit from turbocharging, increasing output to 530 horsepower and 520 pound-feet of torque. So basically, it sounds like the current, 520-hp 911 Turbo will become the next Carrera S.
What does that mean for Porsche's traditional high-performance models? Well, it's a safe bet that the Turbo, Turbo S and eventual GT2 will be producing seriously huge power figures. Based on pure speculation, we wouldn't be shocked to see a 600-hp Turbo, with the S and GT2 increasing output markedly from there.
Porsche finally gives up the goods on 2014 Macan
Wed, 20 Nov 2013Preparing a beachhead in the marketplace for the 2014 Porsche Macan crossover has been a years-long project for the German company. We've been hearing and reporting on rumors of the vehicle from its ideation stage and have covered the Macan's birth thoroughly over the last 12 months, including teasers, rumors, spy shots, leaked videos and more. Now, just ahead of the LA Auto Show-debut of Porsche's first-ever compact crossover, the wait for details is at an end.
Porsche will offer the crossover in two flavors to start: Macan S and Macan Turbo. The S model will be fitted with a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine that makes 340 horsepower and will push the vehicle from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 5.2 seconds, then on to a top speed of 156 miles per hour. The Macan Turbo has even more impressive figures on all fronts: an all-new, 400-horsepower, twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6 engine; 0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds; top speed of 164 mph. Both models make use of Porsche's seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission as standard.
As impressive as these potent powertrains are the brakes Porsche is fitting to its new crossover. Six-piston monobloc fixed-caliper brakes live up front, grabbing 13.78-inch discs on the S model and tremendous 14.17-inch discs on the Macan Turbo. We're expecting serious stopping performance, to say the least.
