ADDED 924 Turbo to stable!, New Restoration Project Options

[Gatornapper]

Dear 914 friends -

At 76, I think I've got one more project in me. My Porsche genius friend Rick found me this in Cleveland:

https://cleveland.craigslist.org/cto/d/lake...7387301032.html

And I have a contract on it for less than asking price. Friends in Cleveland looked at it closely on Wed. nite, sent me 7 close-up videos of it and gave it a huge thumbs up. Engine did run for few seconds with starter fluid, started immediately and sounded like new. Almost no rust, interior immaculate.

This is a very rare Special Edition with custom interior, wheels and two-tone paint.

Looking for a great source of info on 924's but can't find much. Nothing like 914 world.

Any pointers for a resource like 914world would be appreciated - tho I'm sure there is none.

NO - not selling the 914! My garage has room for both cars.

TIA,

GN

Guys -

I've never entered into a deal knowing more than I do about this car.

Again, two friends, one a mechanic, went over the car in every detail, sent me 7 videos of closeup everything. Mechanic said engine sounded smooth and great. I have video of it starting right up and running.

This is 924 Turbo #201 out of first 600 to USA. All were silver/dolomite grey, Pasha interior, Weissach wheels. It was made in 6/1979, sold on May 25th, 1980. This info from PORSCHE and here (translated):

Front Pasha seats replaced with full leather - I'm good with that. Rear seats are Pasha.

No wreck damage, almost no rust other than bottom of front left quarter panel, which appears minor. Seller had car undercoated when he got it about 1985. Videos of underside look good. Looks like original paint. Condition good.

A member of the 924 forum from Sweden has ALL THE ORIGINAL PORSCHE FACTORY MANUALS ONLINE FOR DOWNLOAD - IN ENGLISH. And I have them all.

Seller is fully onboard, providing answers to all my questions, insists he's so glad car is going to someone who knows what it is and wants to restore it and drive it.

We were to pick car up Saturday but weather and things on our end prevent our getting car until next Friday - it is an 8 hour drive away.

Stand by and I'll keep everyone posted. But don't want to load this great 914 board with 931 stuff. (931 is Porsche's internal number for the 924 Turbo).
