1987 Porsche 924s No Reserve on 2040-cars
Avon Park, Florida, United States
|
A nice 1987 Porsche 924s, odometer reads 30,800 miles, although this is probably because the speedometer was disconnected at some time. It is certainly not 100,380...the condition of the interior shows this. The seats have light wear....not worn through or torn or stained. The dash is not cracked or discolored. This car spent most of its life not being used. Please check the photos for the condition of the interior. This is not an interior that has been replaced.
The car has had a paint silver overspray, with pin-striping. Tires are Hankook in very good shape; original wheels with locking lugs. The A/C compressor is frozen, and needs to be fixed or replaced. The original Blaupunkt radio is operable, but the speakers have static. The power antenna is stuck. The sunroof motor works, but one of the holdup mounts need top be replaced. Headliner needs to be reattached in the front. Rear seat in very nice condition. Rear storage area cover, and tool kit included. Power windows and power sunroof.
Five-speed manual transmission. 150hp engine, 4-cylinder fuel injected. Same engine as the Porsche 944, just slightly detuned by Porsche at the manufacturer. See the Wiki on the Porsche 924s / 944. Runs strong and straight. One of the initial issues when purchased, was the fuel system. The tank contained old and bad fuel. The tank was drained, cleaned and we installed a new fuel pump and filter. Along with a couple of tanks of fuel, with Sea Foam, the injectors have been cleaned, and were not replaced.
Other things completed: New distributor cap, thermostat, rotor, plugs, fuel filter, head gasket set, timing belt, cooling and radiator hoses. Radiator cleaned. Cylinder head job, valve job with 4 exhaust valve guides and resurfaced the head. All this work was completed by Checkered Flag Automotive, Sebring, FL, in August, 2013 (receipts are available).
I bought this car in March, 2013, and have been working on it since. I am not going to be able to complete the work at this time, due to a recent medical issue, and would like to see this go to someone who appreciates the car and the condition.
I also have the original owners manual, and a box full of trim pieces, weather seals, and other parts. Everything I have will be included in the sale.
I am a private owner, so I cannot quote shipping costs. You will find those estimates online. I will do all that I can to facilitate shipping arrangements from my location in the Sebring / Avon Park, FL area. We are about 70 miles south of Orlando, FL. Certainly very, very drivable, if you wish to drive it home.
A clear Florida title, no liens, currently tagged and insured in FL.
Please ask any questions that you may have. This is my personal car; I am not selling for someone else. Please see my feedback and bid with confidence!

Remembering Porsche's illustrious Le Mans history
Fri, 13 Jun 2014Not only does this weekend mark the running of the 82nd 24 Hours of Le Mans, it will also see the return of one of the race's most venerable brands to the top tiers of endurance racing. Porsche will campaign its first top-flight car since the 1998 911 GT1-98, the 919 Hybrid, at this weekend's race, in the hopes of knocking off its corporate rival, the dominant Audi team.
To understand just what a win for the 919 would mean, though, you need to look back on the intrinsic connection between the Circuit de la Sarthe and Porsche. It's a history that spans decades, dating back to the team's first win in 1970.
XCar has a great video on that history. At 25 minutes, it's a bit on the long side. Then again it is the Friday before Le Mans. Take a look below for the video.
Petrolicious explores long-term living with Porsche's 914/6
Thu, 15 May 2014After its last video starred none other than the spectacular Ferrari 250 GTO, where was there for the video team at Petrolicious to go? Certainly, in the realm of classics, there are only a few other vehicles that can match the badge and pedigree of the ultra-rare Ferrari. Maybe a Jaguar D-Type or an Aston Martin DBR1? No, this latest video doesn't star either of those British icons. It stars an oft-misunderstood, occasionally derided entry from Germany's most sporting manufacturer - Porsche.
Yes, we've gone from a Ferrari 250 GTO to a Porsche 914/6. As is often the case with Petrolicious, though, the story told about the car by its owner are often more important than the make or model of car being highlighted. That's exactly the case here, as Jack Griffin talks about the 38 years he's spent with this particular Porsche.
Having been born into the Volkswagen fold and introduced to Porsche in the best way possible - behind the wheel of a 356 - Griffin has some interesting stories (including his attempt at running the 12 Hours of Sebring), and he knows a fair bit about some of the 914's attributes.
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.
