1978 Porsche 924 with 8043 original miles, black (041) with a black non-leather interior, 4 speed manual, sunroof coupe. An all original, single digit mile, investment grade example of an early 924. Original paint in exceptional condition along with a flawless interior. Everything works down to all dash illumination and clock. Ordered with an interesting configuration of options – sunroof, leather steering wheel, power windows, air conditioning, power antenna and radio delete (factory wiring in place), color coded wheel centers. Undercarriage was undercoated when new by selling dealer for corrosion protection. An early 1978 model with the 4 speed manual gearbox and benefiting from the first major improvement to the US cars – the CIS fuel injection, a catalytic converter and removing the previous emissions equipment gives an increase to 110 HP. The timing belt and water pump have been replaced at around 5600 miles. Especially built for it’s original owner with a commemorative plaque and delivered by Klinger Porsche/Audi in Lake Forest Illinois on April 18th 1978. Presently a two owner car and a part of a rotating collection.
Factory break in procedure sticker remains on the front windshield as well as the original front rotor brake dust covers and hood support rod plastic rest square are present.
The 924’s were not as cherished and well preserved compared to 911’s or 928’s of the same era, making examples in this condition extremely rare and difficult to find. The early 924 models are the purest and simplest transaxle car that Porsche made, their charm as well as significance to the brand are finally being recognized and given the attention and notoriety in Porsche history.
Owners manual, service book, two master keys, glove box key, plaque with the first owner’s name, sunroof storage bag, front license plate holder, unused spare tire and tool kit.
A phenomenal opportunity to own something not available on the market that would be demanded by any serious and complete Porsche collection.
Long time Porsche enthusiast looking to pass along to another.
