1980 Porsche 924 Turbo

1980 Porsche 924 TURBO Description

Relisted due to aterrible Ebayer that did not have the funds to pay. For auction a 1980 Porsche 924 TURBO. This is first 924 that came turbocharged and 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 that never came to USA. 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 924's typical narrow bodies. The last picture is when it had the 16" wider BBS wheels but I sold them, so the car includes only the original 15" wheels on the rest of the pictures. The original rear fenders are still under the side fiberglass flares, so the steelhaven't been cut, which is good news for collectors willing to restore it.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. I restored enough to pass the TX state inspection and to go to work every now and then. 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. 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. The Recaro seatsare not included in the price, because they arethe mostexpensive Recaro seats that you could buy for Porsche's back then, they are electric with real leather and some ergonomic position features. The good news is that I am including the original leather seats that are similar to the 911 Turbo of that year (worth of $1,000 in good condition). If you want the Recaro seats you will need to pay $300 extra unless you use the Buy It Now option, then you choose which one you like more.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 stereo CD that it is not wired yet. 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.As you can see underneath, there is only a superficial rust in the right drive axle, no leaks on transmission and the floor panels are intact without rust, also notice that the shocks were replace recently. 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 have the right to stop the auction due to local listing. 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 buy it or your record is going to be damaged.
