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.

Winterkorn will leave remaining VW posts by end of the month

Tue, Oct 13 2015

After stepping down as chief executive of the Volkswagen Group last month, Martin Winterkorn still retains a few key positions within and related to the German automaker. According to the latest reports, he's set to resign from those positions as well in the coming days. Aside from his former position as chairman of VW's executive board, Winterkorn has also served (and continues to serve at present) as chairman of the supervisory boards of Audi, truck manufacturer Scania (which is owned by VW), and the group's Truck & Bus division (of which Scania is part alongside Man). He's also the chief executive of Volkswagen's largest stakeholder Porsche SE, having taken up the position after the Porsche/Piech family enterprise acquired its majority stake in the group that also subsumed the sports car manufacturer. In what could prove a strong indicator of things to come, and according to the report from Reuters, Winterkorn was not present at a recent meeting of Audi's board. In his place, the meeting was presided over by deputy chairman Berthold Huber. The former labor leader also served as interim chairman of the VW board after Ferdinand Piech's departure but before CFO Hans Dieter Potsch was named to the post. The companies in question have yet to make any announcements regarding Winterkorn's remaining positions, or confirm the reports regarding his future. However parties close to the automaker and its owners reportedly expect the resignations from those positions to come as well before the end of the month, if not before the week is out.

Porsche 918 Spyder burns to ground in gas station conflagration

Mon, 29 Sep 2014

There's one fewer Porsche 918 Spyder zipping along the roads of Toronto, Canada, today. A fire at a gas station over the weekend claimed one of the hybrid supercars in a massive blaze, and a portion of the inferno was caught on video.
According to our partners to the North at Autoblog Canada, the cause of the fire hasn't been officially confirmed yet, but witnesses reportedly claimed gasoline somehow came into contact with the hot exhaust outlets that exit out of the top of the supercar's engine bay. This was just one of two 918s believed to be in the Toronto area.
Other than a possible broken heart from the owner, the fire reportedly caused no injuries, and only the Porsche and gas pump appeared to sustain serious damage. Warning, the video of the conflagration does contain some explicit language.

1950s car ads are timeless

Sat, Aug 8 2015

Usually around the Super Bowl a few great car commercials show up, but for the most part auto ads today pale in comparison to the '1950s and '60s. In an era with a truly viable magazine industry, automakers would take out gorgeous full-page spreads to get the word out about their wares. It was also a time when imports were just hitting the US, and there was a boom in sports cars. Car and Driver has gone for a dig into its advertising archives from when the book was known as Sports Cars Illustrated for a truly great viewing experience. You can imagine a young Don Draper mulling over the copy for these ads, but some of it is laughably quaint today. For example, there's a great image of a driver whipping an Austin-Healey 100 around a track. The italicized red text proudly proclaims, "From 0 to 60 MPH in 10.5 seconds." One of the beautiful parts about these advertisements is that you seldom see photos of the cars. Instead, there are often detailed drawings that slightly distort the vehicles' lines. With this approach, the Porsche 356 ends up looking far more curvaceous than in real life. Plus, the front end of the Chrysler 300 looks large enough to land a helicopter on. The whole thing is worth scrolling through. There are some fascinating glimpses into auto history like an ad for Abarth exhausts before the brand was just known for tuning Fiats.
