Relisted due to a terrible Ebayer that did not have the funds to pay. For auction a 1980 Porsche 924 TURBO classic sport car. This is a collective item that I was debating between restoring to original specs or making a Porsche 924 Turbo Carrera GT replica which is a model made for Le Mans and that never came to USA due to smog regulations. The previous owner was a PCA member and I'm a PCA member as well. This car has a SCCA wide body kit on it which make it stand out over the regular cheaper 924's typical narrow bodies. The original rear steel fenders are still under the side fiberglass flares, so the steel haven't been cut, which is good news for collectors willing to restore it to original spec's. The body needs to be re-painted due to the age of the paint. The engine has been rebuilt recently but it was done by previous owner, so it does not leak and it does not burn fuel. I restored enough to pass the TX state inspection and to go to work every now and then (my work is 1 hour one way commute). It is in running conditions and you can drive it anywhere. I haven't done troubleshoot of the A/C yet and maybe it just needs Freon. The headlight washers, signal lights, headlight motors and the electric side mirrors work. I hate to let it go but I ran out of space in my house and the neighbors are giving me hard time if I park it out of my property. I am including the OEM leather seats that are similar to the 911 Turbo of that year (worth of $1,000 in good condition). It is a low miles car and you could tell by looking the engine and some features. The car is pretty fast when the turbo starts boosting which surprised me coming from a 924. It has a brand new carbon fiber shift knob and a new real leather shift boot with red stitching. The sunroof hardware works perfectly fine and it does not leak. This car has always been unappreciated for many years but it saved Porsche from bankruptcy and the history is pretty interesting for Porsche enthusiasts. I haven't gone thru the whole car but I know the at least it does not have any rust or corrosion in the body because this year they came with galvanized body parts. It looks also like it never suffered any accident because the chassis and panels are all straight in one piece and the doors open and close perfectly. The value of this car is skyrocketing and now the high retail value as per NADA.com is $14,100 and the average value $10,200. You could make easy money on this one if you flip it. Priced to sell Fast!! My loss is your gain. Happy Bidding. If you do not have the money, do not bid on it or your record is going to be damaged. The racing seats that you see in some pictures are not included in this auction. NO RESERVE!! HAPPY BIDDING!!

This picture of page 97 was found in a book; "The Road. Sports and Racing Cars PORSCHE" by Dalton Watson Fine Books, published in 1993.With some nice wider wheels this car would look pretty special. On Dec-30-16 at 23:28:53 PST, seller added the following information: In my description I had a typo; instead of writing "it does not burn fuel" I meant to write "it does NOT burn oil" LOL.The car is NOT smoking white smoke, which is when cars are burning a lot of oils. Porsche's always burn a little bit of oil but not much.On Dec-30-16 at 23:36:49 PST, seller added the following information: I have the OEM European rear bumper and the OEM installation brackets, which is the one that the 924 Turbo Carrera originally came with and is the clone I was planning to do. It is NOT included in the auction but I could sell it to the winner if interested. It is hard to find and it costs a fortune. I found it in Europe and I paid a lot for the bumper and shipping...so price is negotiable but not cheap. The real 924 Turbo Carrera's have been sold in Europe for around $100,000 if you are lucky to find one ... On Dec-31-16 at 00:23:52 PST, seller added the following information: I forgot to mention that the rear spoiler professionally installed is larger than the stock 924 Turbo one. This OEM spoiler is the one that the 924 Turbo Carrera was designed for, and eventually they included these on the 944 Turbo.
