1979 Porsche 924

Serial No. 9249207175

4-cyl. 1984cc/110 hp Bosch FI Engine

5 speed Manual Transaxle

104,567 miles

 

Here is your entry level Porsche, a reasonably priced reliable German sports car. The 924 was the first front engine Porsche sold and was intended to replace the 914 as the brand's entry level model. They are known for their excellent handling and balance, and are still affordable. With fully galvanized bodies after 1977, the 924 can be a durable, simple, fun first Porsche. The remaining few good ones are considered worth seeking out.

 

Automotive journalist Rob Sass bought this very car in Seattle, WA in 2017, took it to the Porsche dealer there for new tires and brakes, then drove it 2,200 miles from Tacoma back to Ann Arbor. He then sold it to its current owner (he and his daughter have driven and cared for it since), then wrote articles about it, e.g., one excerpted here:

 

Why You Need to Buy a Porsche 924 Now

By Rob Sass, for Hagerty Media

26 October 2017

 

“You need to buy a Porsche 924 this week. Yes, a 924, the car that 9 out of 10 Porsche geeks will immediately finger as the worst Porsche of all time. The fact of the matter is, the 924 is actually not crap. Far from it. And in a sure sign of the end times, prices are starting to rise. ...I’d tell you to buy my 924 in splendid UPS brown (actually Mocha Schwarz), but immediately upon my arrival home, I was inundated with offers for it. I sold it to the upholstery and trim guy who rents space in the same building that the Hagerty content team calls home. He’s thrilled with it. You would have been, too.  …While you won’t be able to come within a 40-mile radius of Luftgekühlt (air cooled) in one, the woefully misunderstood 924 proved me and my (previous, critical NY Times) piece wrong. It is an ideal first classic.”

 

Here is what has been done to the car since then, and recently: new bushings, from shifter to transaxle; a new dash pad, sunroof latches, starter, battery and timing belt; the front valance panel has been repaired and it, and the bumper have been refinished. The driver’s seat and headliner have been repaired.

 

This 924 comes with a modern Kenwood 40W AM/FM/CD audio unit with removable face plate, its original tool kit, owner’s manual, and the original protective bag for the removable sunroof. With the entire bodyshell zinc coated and its west coast history, there is no rust. Overall, it’s a nice driver, ready for many miles and smiles by its new owner.

1983 Mercedes-Benz 380SL (R107)

3.8L FI V8, 4-Speed Automatic Transmission

VIN: WDBBA45A5DB028092

113,262 Miles

 

In 1980, Mercedes-Benz revamped its SL lineup of sporting luxury convertibles with the introduction of the 380SL, a further development of the R107 chassis, which was first used in 1972 by the 350SL. With its heady mix of V-8 power, refined luxury, and sporty underpinnings, it was a very popular model during its run for the U.S. market.

 

Named for its 3.8-liter V-8, the 380SL received a new four-speed automatic transmission, which further enhanced distance driving. Suspension continued to be the same fully independent setup as in the earlier cars, and four-wheel disc brakes remained standard. The R107 was the first SL to receive a V8, and its smooth and torquey delivery is in keeping with the overall character of the car.

 

When I was in the automotive supplier industry, I got to go to Germany (beginning in the ‘70s), work with the auto engineers, see what these were made of, how they were made in Sindelfingen, get to understand the whole Mercedes-Benz character, reputation, and why they were just better.

 

This 380SL is a good one. It has a dark blue exterior with matching removable hard top, a blue soft top, and a tan leather interior. It is equipped with active seat belts, automatic climate control, and a modern stereo head unit with CD player. Its service records & receipts date back to June, 2004, with most done by the local dealer (Mercedes-Benz of Ann Arbor). Most brake components, water pump and more were replaced at 112 - 113k miles.

 

It has just recently received  new tires, new spark plugs, a fuel injector and a complete cleaning & polishing. As a result, it looks and runs great. A clean Carfax report is available on request, and a full car cover and windshield sun shade are included.

1987 PORSCHE 928 S4 TRACK CAR
VIN: WP0JB0922HS861215

​

Here is a rare opportunity to purchase a very well sorted track car that is an absolute monster on the race track, yet extremely reliable. The car has been extensively upgraded using only the best parts available without concern for the costs incurred. A Pro Charger D-1SC supercharger as well as many other engine modifications have been added, resulting in approximately 600 engine HP  and over 500 HP at the rear wheels - in a car that has been weight-reduced to just 3,000 pounds.

​

The resultant acceleration and speed are awesome. It’s not just the engine that has been upgraded. Significant modifications have been made to the body, chassis, suspension, steering, brakes, electrical, interior, wheels and tires. The end result is an extremely fast, safe and reliable track car capable of very low lap times, topped off with a state of the art data gathering system to help analyze your every movement on the track.

Two binders detailing the upgrades and including receipts are included. Also, a video of the car at speed at Waterford Hills Raceway is available on request.

“There is also little question that General Motors is devoutly committed to making its plastic Chevy the equal of any car on earth in terms of performance and engineering excellence.
