Vehicle description
*IF YOU ARE NOT A LOCAL BIDDER - PLEASE CHECK TRANSPORT FEES BEFORE BIDDING*
A 1980 Porsche 924 with a story…and 77,603 miles showing on the ODO. I had a dream of owning a Porsche 924 since way back in high school, and in late 2012, while living in Denver, I purchased one – had I known then what I know now…The vehicle had been chopped up to make it into a track car, which is typical of the fate of many of these cars. The hood, fenders, front clip (etc) replaced with fiberglass aftermarket stuff, and the rear wells were chopped to accommodate larger wheels. The previous owner mangled the vehicle.
My passion ran deep and I found a Porsche parts graveyard in Boulder Colorado and began purchasing parts, more parts and eventually a donor car to strip. I was determined to bring this car back to looking like the day it was born. I spent almost $19k on body work (yes, I have receipts) – the pop up headlights were reconstructed and the body is back to what it is supposed to look like. I have hundreds of photos of the body work in progress. The body work was done by The Metal Surgeon in Englewood, Colorado - they do amazing body work. .feel free to look them up.
Along with the body work, I also had over $8k of work done under the hood (yes, I have receipts).The seats are in great shape. My plan was to do a carpet kit and replace the dash with a donor (included) and associated mechanical parts. I also planned to replace the door cards – of which, 2 are included.
The mechanical work was completed by Dart Auto in Commerce City, Colorado - they are known for excellent work on Porsche (Look them up). Here are just a few of the items done: *Fuel pump replacement *Brake drum *Fuel tank sending unit *Fuel accumulator *Timing belt and tensioner *Drive belt *Fuel line with metric adapters *Front suspension cross member *Alternator replaced
New tires mounted in 2012 at Firestone (Denver, CO) - less than 100 miles driven on these.
We moved to California and the vehicle lived in our garage for a few years. In 2019 I needed to take a break from my crazy project and I put the car in storage – only to find that a rodent had eaten some of the wires under the hood. My big loss is your gain, and after a tough year of unemployment, I am putting the vehicle up for sale.
The car is currently not running – please be clear on that.
Also included are various bits and parts that I collected to use. Extra parts include:*Additional rear wing*2 replacement door cards (in great shape)*A replacement dashboard (poorly restored)In the hands of the right person, this would be a super cool restore, or restomod.
I’ll be crying as the new owner carts this off, but I’ll be happy knowing that she’ll eventually be finished and driving.
The photos posted are some taken in my garage today, and some from the body shop. You’ll need to pick up the vehicle with a tow or flatbed, or have the vehicle picked up by a hauler. We are located in Cathedral City, California – near Palm Springs.
I’ll be happy to answer any questions as best I can.

Sale is final. *I have done my best to describe the automobile - any errors or omissions are unintentional. *I am a reputable ebayer with over 20 years doing business. My feedback is 100%.
