1987 Porsche 924s - Low Miles - All Original - Nice!! Excellent Condition!!! on 2040-cars
Cable, Ohio, United States
30K miles on this car -- and it shows. This car has been in the family since bought new in September, 1987. Doubt that you can find a nicer one. The interior is like new. Never wrecked or damaged. Body is 100% straight. These cars used galvanized body panels -- no rust. Has been garaged always. This was a second car for my wife's father. It was rarely driven and has never seen snow or salt. It's been sitting in our garage since November, 2009. (Purchased new in Cincinnati. Was in Lexington, Ky till July, 2004 and then in Las Vegas till October, 2009) Has been driven less than 200 miles in the last 4 years. This car needs to go to someone that will drive it and appreciate a great example of the Porshe 924S.
2 problems the 924S is known for: the dash cracks on top and the odometer strips a gear and quits working if you push the trip meter while the car is moving. The dash is cracked on top. We have a pad for it that fits great but not shown in the pics. It's still new and we never used it. The odometer quit working June 2002 when it read 20,141 miles. He kept a notebook in the car and maintained a meticulous record of every time he fueled up. Also includes notes about maintenance and some comments about trips made out of town. Page one starts with the day it was picked up from the dealer. On page 16, it's noted that the odometer is "stuck" at 20,141. Page 21 ends when it was shipped to us with a calculated mileage of 28,120. The car was being driven an average of ~1400 miles per year through 2002 and much less after 2004 when they moved to Vegas. In addition to the notes, the condition of the car bears this out. I will share excerpts with interested parties and a full copy of the notebook goes with the car. The clear title reflects the odometer discrepancy. The car starts, runs and drives great. Handles like a new one. Original Blaupunkt stereo with cassette player. Dash clock works. Seats look like new. Power Sunroof functions and can tilt open or completely remove the center section. I would not be afraid to drive it anywhere. Clutch feels great. Brakes are good. All doors and hatches are solid and smooth. All lights work. Power mirrors and windows. Nice Pirelli tires. Original manuals included. The original Porsche air compressor kit, like new, included. Has retractable cover to conceal packages or contents of hatchback area. Has original sunroof storage cover. New floormats installed in 2010 still like new. Has a new battery within the last 2 months. There are a couple small paint chips on the front air dam area as can be seen in the pics. You could drive this car to a car show tomorrow. It's hard to believe that this car qualifies for historical tags. We thought it would be fun but turns out we're pretty spoiled by our automatic transmissions and don't have the time to enjoy it. It's not being driven at all and needs a new home. If you're a Porsche 924S fan, you need to see this one. I'll try to answer all questions from serious people that know what they're looking at. Will be travelling some so please be patient if I can't get right back to you. Can be inspected in Central Ohio by appointment. Car is located NW of Columbus, OH near zip code 43044. No joy-rides, but I will get it out for serious buyers. Obviously, there is no warranty on the car and it's sold as-is. $200 deposit due via PayPal within 24 hours of auction end. Balance due within 7 days by cash, wire transfer, money order, or bank check. All checks clear bank before vehicle is transferred. Local pickup preferred. Buyer is responsible for any shipping arrangements after sale is completed. Reserve the right to end the auction early if sold locally and outside of ebay. Known Issues: -- Due to age it is recommended that the timing belt and water pump be replaced. They also recommend the oil cooler seal be replaced. I attempted to replace the water pump. Was planning to replace the timing belt also. We removed the thermostat from the water pump housing and discovered that we didn't have the correct thermostat to replace it. The timing belt looked great and though it's supposed to be a simple job, I decided that working on this German metric car was not my strength. We reconnected the radiator hose, put it back together and left the thermostat out. -- One of the aquastats that control the electric cooling fan motor needs replaced. It was stuck ON at one point so the radiator fan ran continuously. Later, it switched OFF and wouldn't come on. The fans are good and both run when the AC control is turned ON. Looks like the aquastat just screws into the radiator end-cap. -- AC needs to be charged. The compressor runs smooth but was not blowing cool. -- The gas shock struts that hold the hood open are weak. -- There is a stain on the carpet in the hatchback area. We've not tried to clean it so not sure if it will come out easily or not. -- The car has the nice "phone dial" wheels. At some point, someone decided to scrub them with an abrasive. They need to be refinished or painted to look bright again. -- The windshield washer pump was replaced with a universal pump of the same size and design. As far as I know, that's the only part on this car that's not original or authentic. MISC. Repair info: -- Clutch was replaced in May, 2004 -- Brakes work was done in May, 2004 -- Has always had oil changes done on schedule based on time -- Upper and Lower radiator hoses replaced December 2010 -- New battery September 2013 Parts that go with the car: -- New CRP-Contitech camshaft (Timing) belt and Gates Balance Shaft Belt -- Balance Shaft Locking Bar from Pelican Parts -- Hamburg Technic brand Water pump -- CRP Cooling / coolant hose.

Meet the man that discovered and restored the oldest existing Porsche
Tue, 11 Mar 2014Luciano Rupolo is an absolutely fascinating gentleman. He was born in France but spent nearly his entire life in Italy as an auto mechanic running his own shop. His grandfather and father instilled a love of sports cars in him that he carried on by historic racing in Italy for decades. He saw his life-long automotive passion repaid when he found and restored the car that might have been the first Porsche registered for the road.
You can spot in his garage a split-window Corvette, Ferrari 250 GTE and other exotics, but Rupolo's most interesting automotive story concerns his Iso Grifo Competizione (pictured above). The sports coupe was found in the Canary Islands as little more than a shell, but Rupolo got help from a prestigious source for its restoration. The result is a motoring masterpiece.
Rupolo is a fantastic storyteller with a captivating, tale to tell. Settle in, scroll down and watch the bittersweet documentary about his life with one of the first Porsches.
Matthias Muller officially named VW Group CEO
Fri, Sep 25 2015While the vast number of rumors made it seem like a foregone conclusion, Porsche boss Matthias Muller has officially been named Volkswagen Group CEO to replace the recently resigned Martin Winterkorn. His contract runs through the end of February 2020, and until a replacement is found, Muller also gets to hang onto his old job as chairman of Porsche. At the same time, the VW Group Supervisory Board is announcing a massive structural reorganization across the entire company, with the new management model in place by the beginning of 2016. Contrary to previous rumors, Michael Horn remains as President and CEO of VW Group of America. The board wants a greater emphasis on brands and regions going forward, and the scale of this shift can be seen in the US. On November 1, VW Group business in the US, Mexico, and Canada is being combined under the leadership of current Skoda chairman Winfried Vahland. However contrary to previous rumors, Michael Horn remains as President and CEO of VW Group of America. Other brands are also seeing some significant changes mechanically. Porsche, Bentley, and Bugatti now fall under the Group's "sportscar and mid-engine toolkit." This means that the brands will start sharing standardized technical parts. A Chief Technical Officer across all of the company's brands will also start working toward future innovations. The new brand-centric view means the end of a group-wide production department. "Going forward, the brands and regions will also have greater independence with regard to production. So it follows that they should also hold the responsibility for these activities," Berthold Huber, interim Chairman of the Supervisory Board, said in the announcement. In a statement with the press release about his promotion, Muller promised to turn the company around after such an international crisis. He said: "My most urgent task is to win back trust for the Volkswagen Group – by leaving no stone unturned and with maximum transparency, as well as drawing the right conclusions from the current situation. Under my leadership, Volkswagen will do everything it can to develop and implement the most stringent compliance and governance standards in our industry." Matthias Muller appointed CEO of the Volkswagen Group Muller remains Chairman of Porsche AG until a successor has been found Matthias Muller (62) has been appointed CEO of Volkswagen AG with immediate effect.
Best sport sedans for 2022 and 2023
Thu, Nov 11 2021SUVs dominate the car industry at every size and price level, but some people still prefer the looks, and more importantly, the performance and comfort, of the traditional sedan. With a lower ride height, lighter weight and generally smaller size, they often are much more fun to drive, and can even be more comfortable. Sport sedans of course lean harder on the performance side of things, and are among the best options for sheer speed and fun, thanks to those inherent characteristics. We've rounded up the ones in the segment that do the sporty dance better than any others in 2024 to give you a handy guide when you're shopping for one of your own. You'll find a wide array of cars here including gas, electric and hybrid powertrains. They'll have manual and automatic transmissions and drive the front, rear or all four wheels. Technically a few hatchbacks have slipped in, but they're close enough in look and feel that we wanted to include them. And excluding them means you might miss out on some of the best-driving options available. You wouldn't want that, would you? Alfa Romeo Giulia Why it stands out: Punchy four-cylinder; astounding power from Quadrifoglio; light and nimble character; awesome shift paddlesCould be better: Clunky infotainment; sub-par switchgear Read our Alfa Romeo Giulia review We start this list with one of the most predictable inclusions: the Alfa Romeo Giulia. Yes, it's a stereotype that the Italian sport sedan is fun to drive, but the fact is, well, it is. The Giulia comes standard with a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder making 280 horsepower, making it one of the most powerful four-cylinders in the segment. It's paired with a snappy and smooth eight-speed transmission and either rear-wheel or all-wheel drive. The engine is lively and torquey, if a little short of revs, and the chassis feels super-light. The steering is eager and the car jumps into corners. We also highly recommend getting a version with the enormous and superb aluminum paddle shifters that make clicking through gears much more entertaining. And on the topic of the interior, it's attractive, but the various switches and knobs feels a little cheap, and the infotainment system is clunky. Of course there's also the incredible Giulia Quadrifoglio at the high end. It gets a Ferrari-derived twin-turbo 2.9-liter V6 making 505 hp, and it's rear-wheel drive only.
