I have owned this 924 for around 4 years, and bought it as a project to fix up and drive on weekends for fun. I am selling it because I have medical issues that prevent me from further working on the car. The car gets compliments, looks good for its age, and is fun to drive. It's not the fastest car, and it's an automatic, so it's better suited for Sunday drives than the racetrack. It does handle corners well, however. The paint is faded and the clear coat is wearing off on the roof, but is not noticeable until you are close to the car. There is one area of rust in front of the passenger side door. This is a list of some of the things that have been done to the car since I have owned it:
New front brakes and calipers New muffler and exhaust work Aftermarket stereo with Alpine, MB Quart, and JL Audio components. Custom sub box replacing rear seat (the back seats in these cars is really a joke) New (refurbished) Alternator New (refurbished) Starter New fuel pump. The car had new tires on it when I bought it and they are still pretty new. It has had the engine replaced (by previous owner) with an engine from a like year and model. The car was maintained well by the previous owner and engine work was done by a professional shop. I have had the brake and exhaust work done at reputable local shops. I have stored the car in a garage during winters. I haven't been able to drive or work on it due to health issues and it has recently been taken out of storage after sitting for a year. I had a mechanic check the brakes and the fronts are still new and the rears have been adjusted. It runs well. The only issue is that the aftermarket alarm (installed by a local shop) is not functioning correctly. The immobilizer circuit isn't functioning correctly and has been bypassed. The rest of the alarm is still connected and either needs to be repaired or removed. I have driven the car over the last couple weeks a number of times up to 30 miles at a time and it runs fine, but with the alarm installed and not working correctly, sometimes you have to disable the alarm numerous times before it will start. For this reason I wouldn't attempt to drive the car regularly until the alarm issue is sorted out. If you intend to drive the car home, I would at least have someone in another car follow you home. A great resource for 924 owners is: http://www.924.org/ A Haynes manual and wiring diagram for the alarm will be included along with whatever paperwork I have on the service history. A couple things that should be mentioned: *The vacuum accumulator for the EGR valve is leaking so it has been bypassed. This does not affect how the car runs, but if you need to pass an emissions test, you may want to repair the leak. *There is a push button installed to manually activate the cold start valve/injector. Sometimes this injector shuts off before the car has warmed up and you may need to activate the circuit if you plan to use the car in cold weather. I have not had to use it, but have before it was installed had to wait the 15-20 minutes for the valve thermostat to reset before I could start the car. The switch just bypasses the thermostat and activates the injector. *In heavy rain, the seal to the sunroof will leak if parked on an incline. It doesn't seem to pool when the car is level. Disclaimer/payment info: This car is being sold as is. I have explained the condition of the car to the best of my ability. This car is 36 years old and I am not providing any warranty of any type. The auction winner must pay a non-refundable $100 deposit within 24 hrs. of the end of the auction or the vehicle will be re-listed. The winner has 7 days to both pay the remainder of the winning bid and take possession of the vehicle after the auction ends or the vehicle will be re-listed. Accepted forms of payment are paypal (make sure you have the proper spending limit), cash, and cashier's check, or some combination of the three payment types. |

Build your dream garage with this insane prize from Omaze
Wed, Jan 19 2022Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability is subject to change. No donation or payment necessary to enter or win this sweepstakes. See official rules on Omaze. Normally when we write about Omaze sweepstakes, they involve a car that you'd never go out and buy on your own. A six-figure camper van build, a $300,000 Ford Bronco restoration, a Land Rover Defender that's so beautiful it should be in a museum. Today's prize might beat out all of those, because not only could you win a dream car, you'll be entered for a chance to win $100k cash to go along with it. There are a lot of cars you can buy with $100k. You could buy a Land Cruiser Heritage Edition or a Mustang GT500 or 6 Chevy Sparks and start your own racing series. Personally, if I won that kind of dough, assuming I also won this Bentley Bentayga, my favorite of Omaze's current offerings, I'd probably use some of it to buy something quirky, like a Honda Element converted into a pop-top camper, or a restored/upgraded 60 series Land Cruiser. Think that's a terrible way to spend the cash? That's the beauty of it. It is completely up to you. No one can tell you what to do with it. Except maybe your spouse. Here are our favorite vehicle giveaways we’ve found online this week: 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E GT Performance Edition - Enter at Omaze Regardless of what you think about Ford using the name Mustang for an electric crossover, one thing is for certain, the Mustang Mach-E GT is an impressive piece of machinery. Here are some numbers for you: 480 horsepower, 634 lb-ft of torque, 0-60 in 3.5 seconds and 260 miles of range. Price? Well, thatÂ’s really up to you, because if you enter to win this Mach-E GT. it can be as low as $0. Here are the specs of the Mach-E in question, according to Omaze: Maximum Seating: 5 Engine: fully electric motors Drivetrain: eAWD Exterior Color: Rapid Red Metallic  Interior Color: Black Maximum Horsepower: 480 hp Maximum Torque: 634 lb-ft Acceleration: 0-60 in 3.5 seconds Range: 235 miles Approximate Retail Value: $75,500 Cash Alt: $56,625 Special Features: GT Performance Edition; panoramic fixed-glass roof; Ford Co-Pilot360™ Active 2.0 and 360-degree camera; Brembo brakes; RTR Design Package including 20” RTR Aero 5 wheels, Nitto NT555 G2 tires and RTR Speed Block graphics Win a Restored 1969 Pontiac GTO - Enter at Omaze Joel Stocksdale, News Editor: There are an awful lot of ways to build a restomod.

Porsche Supercup racer dies in crash in Australia
Tue, 15 Oct 2013Even with great strides made towards increasing the safety of motor racing, fundamentally it's still a dangerous sport. And now it has claimed another life.
That life belonged to one Sean Edwards, an accomplished GT racing driver. Edwards was killed at Queensland Raceway in Australia, riding shotgun in a Porsche 996 GT3 while acting as instructor. The driver was airlifted to hospital with critical injuries. Sean Edwards was 26.
The son of former F1 driver Guy Edwards (whose car he drove in the filming of Rush), Sean won the European GT3 Championship in a Porsche 911 GT3 Cup and drove a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 to repeat victories at the 24 Hours of Dubai as well as this year's Nürburgring 24 Hours. Edwards had been competing in the Porsche Supercup, whose standings he currently leads with just two rounds to go, and could be crowned champion posthumously.
