1987 Porsche 924s 2.5l Daily Driver Sports Car W/recent Service, Saratoga Top on 2040-cars
Raleigh, North Carolina, United States
You're looking at a 1987 Porsche 924S, with a 2.5L four cylinder engine,
5 speed transmission, 135,xxx miles on the odometer and lots of love
left to give to a capable, mature driver.
Without being a museum piece, this is an impressively nice example of a sports car from one of the world's premier builders of the breed. The car is in solid mechanical condition; these cars are often available cheaply, in need of either timing belt or clutch service. This car had the timing belt replaced at 117,xxx miles and the clutch replaced at 133,xxx miles. The power windows and rare Saratoga glass top open and close smoothly, the rear hatch opens up all on it's own, and the engine pulls smoothly past 6K, where you'll realize that a "driver's car" doesn't need 8 cylinders or forced induction to deliver the satisfaction, balance and dynamic response of a well balanced, low-slung coupe. Take note: this car is 26 years old, is not in showroom condition. In the interest of honesty, here are all the issues and problems with the car that I can think of mentioning. -The nose of the vehicle has some paint chips, accumulated over it's mileage. No evidence of a wreck or crash, but I've included a picture for reference. -The passenger side door makes a small clicking sound audible over bumps and pavement imperfections. This goes away when the window is adjusted up and down. -The trunk carpet has some wear in the middle, but is not torn. One of the insulating pads under the carpet flaps that cover the tool chubby behind the rear fenders are missing. -The brakes, while exceptionally strong with about 50% pad life remaining, have some glazing and can be felt pulsing gently under light braking. This does NOT prevent the brakes from working, but it is noticeable to the discerning driver. -The dash pad has 5 noticeable cracks in it, none wider than 1/8" but present. Again, a picture is included to show this. -The A/C blows cool, but not cold. If this is an issue that prevents the car from being sold, I'll have it serviced and re-list the car. -The front seats have splits on both sides of the center piece of cloth, but the foam and the cloth itself is in great shape otherwise. Serious parties and interested persons should feel free to ask me any questions. Thank you! |

This Porsche 356 family keeps it outlaw
Wed, 29 Oct 2014Rod Emory was the founder of Emory Motorsports in Burbank, CA, and the scion to a family tradition of building "outlaw" Porsches that are almost as cool as the cars themselves. The lovingly modified Porsche 356s are lovely artifacts, and their story, along with the story of their builders, is pitch-perfect for the Petrolicious oeuvre of beloved classics.
Tune in for the history lesson, and then stick around for the car candy.
A closer look at the 2015 Porsche Macan
Wed, 27 Nov 2013
He assured us that "this is a sports car."
Porsche took the wraps off its all-new 2015 Macan at the LA Auto Show last week, and while it's easy to write it off as just a badge-engineered version of the Audi Q5, you'd be very, very wrong. For starters, 75 percent of the car's platform was re-engineered by the Porsche team, and with a choice of two twin-turbocharged engines, the Macan should absolutely live up to the brand's pedigree.
Porsche 911 with VW turbodiesel prepares for LeMons assault
Fri, 21 Mar 2014LeMons racing is a wonderful example that setting limits can actually breed creativity. The series mandates that all entries must cost $500, not counting safety equipment, and that cap forces teams to be ingenious in how they build a racecar. Take for example this diesel-powered Porsche 911, which its creators have dubbed Ferkel the Nein-11, that will be racing in the Sears Pointless race this weekend in Sonoma, California.
This Frankenstein combines a 911 chassis that was originally bought just for its European powertrain and a Volkswagen TDI diesel engine mounted in the rear. After deciding the shell could still be of some use, the team decided to go racing. "We began brainstorming what replacement drivetrain to use for maximum offense and there was really only one answer: a diesel," said Philipp von Weitershausen, one of the team captains, to Jalopnik. They bought a 1998 Jetta TDI on the cheap and started figuring out a way to hack the engine into the bay. To pay respect to the donor, the VW's trunk was highly modified (and drilled) and grafted onto the back of Ferkel.
This team isn't a newcomer to LeMons. Its last car was a classic VW Beetle with a Subaru engine and dual controls, named Ferdinand the Bug, which could be driven from the left or right side. It's quite a sight.
