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.

Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo returns in these spy shots

Thu, Feb 4 2016

Way back in 2012, Porsche got enthusiasts all hot and bothered with the Panamera Sport Turismo at the Paris Motor Show. The concept imagined a hybrid wagon with a shapely rear end. Porsche said at the time production was "possible," but these spy shots indicate the vehicle is actually under development now. Take a close look through the gallery and you'll see that this test car sports some light camouflage at the back, but it does nothing to hide the new rump. Compared to the sedan, the longer roof looks to provide extra headroom for rear passengers, along with a few extra cubes of cargo space. The rear glass sits more upright, and a spoiler visually lengthens the five-door. The wagon's front end is identical to other recent spy shots of the future Panamera. We don't have any technical details about the wagon, but it would likely share powertrains with the sedan. The cabin layout would probably also be identical, including touch-capacitive controls to replace traditional buttons. A Panamera wagon makes sense in the Porsche range. The long-roof version would offer all of the sedan's performance but have a little more room. If a customer with a family doesn't want a Cayenne, this would be the obvious alternative, and the massive 911 range shows Porsche isn't afraid to build a bevy of model variants. If you think a Panamera station wagon seems odd, just remember people thought a Porsche SUV was weird, too. And, of course, that move turned into a huge success for the company. Related Video:

Why you must buy an air-cooled Porsche 911 now

Fri, 14 Feb 2014

"Because" might be a good response to our headline, but as a vintage (purists might call 'proper') Porsche 911 is hardly cheap, we suspect you'll need a better explanation than that. Enter Drive editor Mike Spinelli.
Spinelli sits down with Zac Moseley and Mick Prichinello from Classic Car Club Manhattan to first explain why the market for old, air-cooled 911s has gotten so hot over the past few years, and to discuss if it's a bubble that's about to burst. Following that, this video is really is just three guys sitting around talking about old Porsches for 35 minutes. Which, you know, we're pretty onboard with.

Porsche 918 Spyder gets tiny recall for rear control arms

Tue, 09 Sep 2014

As the recent US recall of a single Koenigsegg Agera shows, even low-production supercars aren't immune from safety campaigns. Now, there's another example that even the fastest cars can have their faults. The Porsche 918 Spyder is a pretty fantastic vehicle for its ability to mix hybrid fuel economy and incredible amounts of power, but Porsche has a problem on a few units of its halo model.
According to the recall document from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Porsche needs to inspect and possibly repair five 918s in the US because the rear axle control arms may break, which could cause a loss of control while driving. In the full defect notice, Porsche says that it first noticed the problem on June 26 when the parts failed during "heavy duty durability testing (extreme race conditions)" at the Nardo test track in Italy. It transported the components back to the company's lab for inspection, and on July 18 it issued a stop-sale to inspect the suspension parts on the supercar. The automaker also contacted owners by phone to warn them not to use the car on track, until repaired.
The affected 918s will be inspected, and if the cars have the bad parts, the control arms are will be replaced. Obviously, this will be done at no cost to owners. According to a Porsche spokesperson speaking to Autoblog, in addition to the five US cars potentially affected, there were 45 worldwide. All of the cars have now been checked.
