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

i had a check of wiki.
just to see.
not that it is necessarily accurate but.....

wiki notes the 924 turbo was referred to as a 931.
rhd specific parts were designated with 932 prefix.

one of those cases where enthusiasts like to use the internal designations given to the models by porsche and then it slips into common use?
for instance i can't really remember anyone calling 924 turbos by the name 931 or 932 back in the 80s. they were just 924 turbos.
but 931 has come to be used?
maybe an american practice?

there would be a lot of parts specific to any RHD 924 given its front engine when compared to the older air cooled cars and using a different first three letter prefix was very definitely a VW practice. its not something you come across with 914s as there were no RHD cars. at most it might have been a part # for headlights for cars that went to the UK or Japan.
