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

you got me going gator.

there is another one for sale here.
aus delivery.
half the $
i think it might be a better car.
i'm starting to get maybe half interested.

i've studied the uk car, its got all the docs etc/rock star owner.
but looking close its got fresh paint on the front half of the car.
had a hit and repair? somethings happened. paint tone is different and decal too.

this one looks half promising. again not your usual beater 924.
its in my state too, looks like its just up country somewhere.

might have to go have a look.

Wow. Didn't mean to influence you!

Yes, those are US bumpers - and I much prefer the Euro ones and will be looking for one sometime. No idea how the US bumpers would get on a RHD car.

Never seen one priced that high. A sweet GT clone here in great running and looking condition just went for $11k.....but had 34 k miles.

Finding putting rear disc brakes & 5-lug hubs in easy - but the front is major and huge, needing the brake master cylinder and booster. And don't add anything significant to ust handling. As you said, I'll drive the car and see.

Keep us posted on what you do.
