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

got me curious enough to check out 924s for sale in aus.
usually just beaters.
suddenly there are two turbos for sale.

one of them looks to be outstanding. a uk car that has come in.
that makes 924 turbos officially an international market car?

Michael,

yes i kind of figured that marty.
but i don't have the spare 40 odd K. (which is actually a bargain no?).
its funny what turns up here in australia sometimes.
i think it might be one of the best 924 turbos left in the world?
but what can i do.
i blame gatornapper for throwing me off course.
i'm just going to have to stop the distraction.
someone will get hold of that car and look after it.

i do like 924s. i drove a dumbo na one years ago.
they are pretty good cranked out to 95-100mph on a straight stretch of Western Australian highway heading north of perth going up and down over gentle sand dune undulations on a ribbon of narrow bitumen. one of those memories driving thats stuck in my head.
