This auction is for a 1982 PORSCHE 924. This is a true collector
car and does qualify for antique plates. This PORSCHE runs and
drives GREAT. It is really a quick and nimble vehicle. If you will take
the time to read this entire page I believe it will save time in the long
run. I will include everything I know about this car. If it is not
mentioned below then I dont know the answer. I am providing all
the information I have. This vehicle has a CLEAN open Florida title.
Slideshow:
http://s254.photobucket.com/albums/hh108/a2l1/Porsche/?albumview=slideshow
I have done some digging and this is the information I have come up with:
The 924 is lighter than the 944 and with some minor modifications/add ons it
will run with a 944 with no problems.
There were only 2277 imported to the US in 1982 that makes this a harder to find
and a desirable Porsche.
Guards red was on just a few of the 1982 that were imported. This is the original
color of this car and the floorboards/engine compartment will show that. Seems white
black, and grey were more popular colors.
I got the above "facts" from the internet and am assuming them to be true.
To the best of my knowledge this has always been a Florida car.
Here is the story I got when I bought this car. Please stay with me
during this long informative blurb. This car was purchased by a
father for his son. It was bought from the original owner. It was to
be for the boys 16th birthday. His "perfect" present. The father took
it to the "Porsche repair shop" and had the car "gone over".
Everything was checked and either repaired or replaced,
everything. It was then taken to a local shop and repainted. This is
not a high end paint job and the explanation was that daddy figured
the the boy just learning to drive would get his share share of
scrapes and bumps and it would receive a "proper" refinishing after
awhile. Anyway the son didnt want or even like the car. It sat in the
garage for a few years then was moved outside to reclaim the
garage space. During the outside storage the battery corrosion did
in fact "eat" through the battery box and actually ate through to the
interior and through the carpet and did some damage to the front
floorpan on the passenger side, minimal and easily repairable but
there is a hole there. Please see the slide show for all the photos.
After a period of outside storage it was put up for sale. It was
purchased by a gentleman that wanted to make it a driver and
"street racer". This person proceeded to remove the carpeting and
padding and was in the process of stripping it down when he had to
stop, money was all gone. It sat for another while then was sold. I
dont know if there were any other transactions between these
times.
The guy I got it from was going to "restore it" He proceeded to hand
sand some of the hood and fender, to remove the paint "blemishes".
He then covered this with spray can primer and since he wasnt
going to finish it for awhile, believe this, he waxed the primer to
protect it! Even offered me a couple of spray cans of red to finish it.
Anyway the battery box was repaired with fiberglass patch and is
holding. Personally I would weld a proper repair and do the floor at
the same time. Even at a weld shop this wont take long and will not
be very expensive at all. None of the parts that were removed, the
carpet and some of the rear belts, things of that nature are not
available. They were either misplaced or disposed of through the
transfers of ownership and are not included with this vehicle sale.
This car does not leak anywhere. The sunroof works properly and
does not leak, but the one latch lever keeps popping off. This
doesnt open the sunroof or unlatch it. It is just the "handle" part of
the latch. The power windows are fussy and will need
attention. I was told they were working, they arent working now. I dont
know if it is the contacts in the switches or the fuse/relay. I havent
checked. There is alot on the car that I havent checked but I am
pretty sure that there is nothing that is broken or not working.
UPDATE:
Just tested ----
Winshielw wipers WORKING
Blower motor for heater/etc WORKING
A/C blower motor WORKING
Headlights WORKING and go up and down fine
Turnsignals WORKING
Hazard/warning lights WORKING
Power mirrors WORKING
When it was gone over for the birthday present it was rebuilt and it shows.
This car starts right up and runs like a Porsche should. It is really
really quick and pulls strong through all five gears. The clutch is
strong and has no chatter or slippage. All the gauges seem to
function properly. The steering is tight and very responsive and the
brakes work extremely well. Stopping was not a problem. I did
cheat a few times and ran this down the road even though it is
currently unregistered. This car runs, and runs really really great.
There is a problem with the idle but I am assuming that
with some runtime it will clear. It tends to idle rough and stumble
but the second you add the slightest pedal it clears right up and
runs fine. An idle adjustment would clear up everything
immediately. I have done no work on this car. The mileage is a
guess. The odometer currently shows 34,676. I would think this is
either true or real close because this is a tight car. In Florida the
mileage is excempt on any vehicle over 25 years old so I cannot
verify it against the title.
I am NOT a Porsche expert or even very knowlegeable about them.
I bought this to have a toy. My wife decided we really dont need the
speeding tickets that I would collect and I was too old for a "hot rod"
so I am selling this, she is actually right this time. This is a very fast
car and I would definately have a ticket collection going if I did keep
this.
Please be aware that this is not a show car and does need
some repair/replacement but it is primarily the interior. The
mechanics seem fine. I figure you can drive it all summer and
during the winter months this year replace the interior and refinish
the car. It would be a great car the following summer. You could
actually buy one of the "its not running but its probably something
minor", translation = needs a new motor and complete drivetrain,
cars here on ebay for a few hundred and have all the interior parts
you need for cheap.. That was my plan anyway.
There is not a dent or rust spot on this car. ALL panels align great. There is NO bondo or any type of body
repair. The primer spots are on a very good metal body. It was primered because the PO was sanding the
finish and did go to bare metal in a few spots. The rest of the primer is just spray can primer over the paint.
I guess it was for the "hot" look? In any case I just wanted to clarify there is no body damage or filler of any
kind anywhere there is spray primer.
This is being offered as is only. Please see the photos.

Yes, this has the metal front air dam it is just not installed.
I believe it was removed in the spray primer stage. I any
case it comes with the vehicle and can be bolted on. There
is no significant damage to it, a minor dent or two.
All the glass is great. No cracks or scratches.
The rims are what came with the car when I got it. I was
told they are stock. They have not been polished or buffed
just washed. There is no or very minor curb damage as far
as I can tell.
Delivery by my is with a tow dolly. The tires are in good
condition and this should not be a factor. A trailer is possible
I believe. Contact me first.
I would have the vehicle towed. It is very drivable and I do
believe it would make it but because it has been sitting for
most of its life I would have the car fully checked by a
qualified mechanic before a long drive. I would change all
the fluids for starters. This is my opinion, although I believe
the car is mechanically strong enough to make the drive I
would tow it and fully check it before any serious driving.
No I havent checked all the electrical, as I mentioned, but I
do believe it will be fine. Everything I used, aside from the
windows, worked fine.
Any other questions fell free to ask. I will answer to to the
best of my ability
I
APOLOGIZE FOR THE CANCELLATION AND RELIST. EBAY WOULD NOT LET ME
CORRECT ERRORS IN THE LISTING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING
