Vehicle Detail

Up for auction is a beautiful production year 1977 Porsche 924 in rare factory option Reseda green metallic. The exterior color and interior combine to make it an absolute head turner. The vehicle starts, idles, and runs out nicely with grind-free gear shifts and responsive braking. Burns or uses no oil with no mixing of fluids. Neither issues of corrosive rust nor rot are evident on the body or frame with factory undercoating complete and intact. The windshield and all glass is clear with zero cracks and the all-season tire set shows 75+ % tread life remaining. I have always been partial to the 70’s cars with vinyl roofs. I believed the aesthetic 924 shape and paint color along with the reconditioned camel color interior would work well, and provide a possible one-off look. So I had one installed. The other subtle work completed would be quickly identified by those who know this model. The removed factory option headlight washers and rubber bumper guards are included. The factory muffler was replaced with a Magnaflow glasspack for a sportier exhaust note under load and and considerably cleaner look over stock. Dash gauges, warning lights and dials are functioning, with the exception of the voltmeter which recently gave it’s last reading; although the battery is strong and has never been an issue or given cause for concern. The head/tail/brake/turn and reverse lights function properly. A few wiring gremlins usually associated with these era cars are present, and as I am not adept at wiring, I never attempted to diagnose (intermittent rear wiper, two side markers, interior light, interior fan speed). I will ask for assistance during the duration of the auction to repair these few items, and will add to the listing if successful. After a drive, a small spot of oil is found on the floor weeping from the front of the oil pan gasket. A preventative/piece of mind maintenance tune-up was completed recently including the following Bosch items: Starter, cap/rotor, ignition wires, plugs, ignition coil, fuel filter, Mann air & oil filter, oil/coolant service, main oil seal, belt set and ignition switch.Overall, simply a beautiful and honest example of a 70’s era sports car with charm and period good looks which will bring the new owner years of proud ownership. You will find very few 924’s currently enjoying the road, and even fewer still in this condition and factory option color. This vehicle deserves to be driven more often then I get it out of the garage, and responds favorably the more often it does. While not perfect, it is dependable enough to be used as a daily driver if called upon, and certainly a vehicle which belies it’s 37 years of existence. It’s a durable and simple Porsche — fun to drive and commands attention, and while it can hold freeway speed + with ease, the 924 was never designed and engineered to compensate for what was lacking below your buckle. It is currently titled, licensed and insured with current emissions certificate in my name.only addition:Dansk headers, not loud but sounds greatwood steering wheel ( have original) 70's era Porsche wood shift knobno trades, serious buyers only
