RE-LISTED DUE TO NON PAYING BIDDER (jhusard is the eBay handle, beware) WHO COULDN'T ADHERE TO THE SIMPLE POLICY THAT IF YOU HAVE ZERO FEEDBACK (& no money) PLEASE DO NOT BID. HE JUMPED IN LAST MINUTE AND 'WON' THE AUCTION, AND THEN, OF COURSE, VANISHED, AND NEVER RESPONDED OR FOLLOWED THROUGH, MAKING ME LOOK LIKE I'M PLAYING EBAY GAMES, WHICH I AM NOT. I'M SIMPLY TRYING TO SELL A VERY NICE, ORIGINAL PORSCHE 924, TO AN APPRECIATING ENTHUSIAST OR COLLECTOR. SO HERE GOES ROUND TWO...  

You are witnessing a rare opportunity at a true 'time capsule' Porsche 924, from 1978. When released in 1977, the 924 represented not only an entirely new direction for Porsche A.G., but also a number of big firsts for the company as well: First front engine model, first water cooled model, first optional automatic transmission. With the 1978 model year, came complete galvanizing, and comprehensive rust proof protection. At the top of the order, was the rare 'Limited Edition' model, loaded with every modern luxury and amenity available at the time.

The example you are considering today, is among the cleanest, most original, well kept remaining anywhere. It was purchased new at Williams Porsche/VW by Dr. Gordon Devries, and has been owned by he and his family ever since (until this summer). With the vehicle purchase, comes not only the original window sticker, but also the original, hand written bill of sale (see pics). There is even a dash plaque presented from Porsche to Dr. Devries. The vehicle is even still titled in the original owner's name. Dr. Devries enjoyed his 924 on nice days on the short commute from home to the hospital for nearly 30 years before his retirement. It was only ever driven in friendly weather conditions.

Any service and needs were always taken care of promptly through the years, and the 924 has also in the last year had a complete freshening, with new or updated battery, belts, brakes, and any other mechanical needs addressed. We even upgraded to R-134, and now the A/C blows ice cold. The car runs and drives as well as it did in 1978. There are subtle signs of loving use (a couple buffer marks, random scratches and nicks) that come with 35 years of careful use. They help to show the originality of the car.

Early entry level Porsches (non 911 cars!), have shown an interesting pattern in the last several years. From the 912 to the 914, the once shadowed cars have really emerged as valuable and rapidly appreciating assets. Many feel the excellent handling (50/50 balance transaxle set up), and exceptional fuel economy will propel the 924 in value in the near future. The limited number of well kept original cars, will of course make those the catalysts of the curve. In their excellent and comprehensive collector vehicle evaluator, this is what automotive authority Hagerty has to say about the 924: 

"Today, the tables have turned somewhat and to some entry-level collectors, the 924 (particularly those in bright colors with the wild op-art checked “Pasha” interiors) can occasionally be more desirable than the more complex and maintenance-intensive. With fully galvanized bodies after 1977, the 924 can be a durable, simple fun first Porsche. The remaining few good ones are worth seeking out."

The overall amazing original condition, coupled with the single ownership, loving care, and rare limited edition package put this example at the top of the 924 heap. Obtain yours now, before the world catches on to the unique combination of fun, high performance handling and economical value that the 924 represents.   

This is a NO RESERVE auction. High bid takes it, so bid to win & own!

 I encourage all potential buyers to come inspect the car in person prior to buying or bidding. Your bid is a binding contract. Feel free to call me with any questions or for more information. Car condition is subjective. I have owned over 100 Porsches, and am picky about my cars, but potential owners should decide for themselves if this car is for them. Car is sold AS IS, WHERE IS. I reserve the right to end the auction early for any reason. Transportation is ultimately the responsibility of the buyer. International bidders are welcome, but please have U.S. funds and transportation arranged prior to auctions end. Zero or negative feedback bidders please contact me prior to bidding or your bid may be cancelled. Please only bid or offer if you are serious. Finally, feel free to email or call me at 574-361-5315 with any questions, more details, or if you'd like to make an offer. Good luck!

New Porsche 4-cyl engines to range from 1.6L to 2.5L

Mon, 02 Jun 2014

Recent rumors of a turbocharged, flat-four-engine from Porsche for the Boxster (pictured testing above), Cayman and maybe other models go back over a year. The latest scuttlebutt indicates that there could be three variants on the horizon with 1.6-, 2.0- and 2.5-liter displacements and power as high as 360 horsepower.
Car magazine in the UK claims to have access to the specifications for the project and thinks the 2.0- and 2.5-liter versions are guaranteed for production for the Boxster and Cayman. However, it believes a question mark still looms over the 210-hp 1.6L because the engine would go into a new, smaller sports car that still doesn't have a green light for production.
Regardless of displacement, the new fours would be turbocharged and direct-injected. The 2.0-liter would produce around 286 hp and 295 pound-feet of torque, and the 2.5-liter would make about 360 hp and 347 lb-ft. Earlier reports pegged some parts sharing with the current flat-six.

Conquest and controversy conclude the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona [spoilers]

Sun, 26 Jan 2014

If you don't wish to know who won the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, you should avert your eyes right now. We'll even give you a double-space to skedaddle...
For those of you still with us, the first race in the United SportsCar Championship (USCC) is done, but the discussions about it certainly won't end for a while. Daytona Prototypes claimed the first four overall places, the top spot taken by the No. 5 Action Express Coyote-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Joao Barbosa, Christian Fittipaldi, Sebastien Bourdain and Burt Friselle. The 16th and final caution of the race bunched the field up for an eight-minute sprint to the flag, so the first place getter finished just 1.4 seconds ahead of the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Dallara-Chevrolet Corvette DP driven by Max Angelelli. Third place went to Brian Friselle in the No. 9 Action Express Chevrolet Corvette DP, 20 seconds down. Chevrolet power hasn't taken the overall win since 2003, eleven years later it scores a one-two-three-four. The No. 6 Muscle Milk/Pickett Racing ORECA-Nissan 03 scored fifth place, the top LMP2 finisher.
The Prototype Challenge class win went to the No. 54 CORE Autosport team of Colin Braun, Jon Bennett, Mark Wilkins and James Gue.

Driving 50 years of Porsche 911 history

Raiding The Porsche Museum For A Fun Track Day
It seems everyone is celebrating anniversaries this year: it's Aston's hundredth, Lamborghini's fiftieth, Ford Mustang's fiftieth, Chevy Corvette's sixtieth - and Tesla just turned ten or something. It's been a little out of hand, frankly, all these forced marketing festivities, but if we had to pick one milestone to really celebrate hard and party all night, the Porsche 911 would be at the top of our list.
Get ready for a major 911 blowout bash at next week's Frankfurt Motor Show. It was on September 12 back in 1963 at this very show where Porsche unveiled its "901" painted in a rather boring shade of beige. Though drably finished, the car caused a worldwide frenzy in the budding German sports car sphere.
