Up for sale is my gorgeous little 1988 924s.  This is the last year this model (the 924 w/ the 944 engine and drivetrain) were made...Engine &  trans (5-speed manual) smooth & strong.  Have had at higher speeds and ran great; travels straight as a nail  at 75+ mph; have taken on 100 mile daytrips many times without incident....Have used as my daily driver for the past year, and it just turned 150,000 miles last Friday. Drives and corners smoothly.

 I believe that nearly everything is original...has been repainted in the original Guards Red color.  All of the rubber weatherstrip and outer trim is in great shape. Phone dial rims; tires have good tread. The back hatch area carpet looks like replacement, but fits perfectly and compliments the car.  The large power sunroof comes out to make this the closest thing to a convertible you can get.  There is virtually no rust on this car..

As with any car this age, it does have its flaws...common with almost all Porsches of this model, it has some dash cracks. They would easily be covered with a dash cap or carpeted dash pad.  The A/C blows, but not super cold.  Have not had it checked, as I have the roof off most of the time. The car's vents, air flow, rear defrost and front defrost as well as heater work fine.  The driver's door passenger window switch is intermittent; it works fine from the pssgr door, and the driver's window switch is fine.  Some of the dash lights are out- I was told this is a good sign that not all are out...but I have not had that issue looked at.  All in all, a super-fun classic ride, waiting for a new home.

Please ask before bidding if you have any questions; also let me know if you need to see additional pics...

Happy Bidding, and thanks for looking!

Porsche patent sketches show removable headrest wind deflector

Mon, 21 Oct 2013

While driving around in a convertible might seem glamorous, ask anyone with long hair and they'll likely tell you how it really is: the wind buffets, your hair goes everywhere and it's anything but glamorous. That's why you see so many convertibles driving with their tops up, their windows up or wind deflectors in place. But Porsche is apparently preparing to kick it up to the next level.
These patent drawings have leaked out, demonstrating what appears to be some new kind of wind-deflecting device being developed by Porsche. The mechanism is apparently fitted to the headrest itself and designed to keep the wind buffeting specifically around the head down to a minimum while allowing the car's occupants to enjoy the top-down driving experience.
No word on when it might hit the market, but we won't be surprised to see this kind of device appear on a future version of the Boxster or 911 Cabriolet. But nowhere else: despite the apparent leak, the patent drawings suggest that Porsche will be keeping this technology proprietary. Whether sister brands like Volkswagen, Bentley or Lamborghini will get their hands on it remains to be seen.

How Porsche got Patrick Dempsey into the driver's seat for Le Mans

Tue, 27 Aug 2013

How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice, practice, practice. Ask Patrick Dempsey and he'll likely tell you the same secret for landing a role on a hit TV show or, for that matter, driving a Porsche in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
That's because, like McQueen and Newman, Dempsey has earned his place in that rarified field of actors who also race. He's competed in Baja and Grand-Am, co-owns an IndyCar team, and this year returned to Le Mans where he and his teammates Joe Foster and Patrick Long finished fourth in the GTE-Am class behind the wheel of their Porsche 911 RSR.
It's a grueling race, and the fluid transition between drivers behind the wheel is a key element to success. Check out the satirical video below to see how Dempsey and company got ready.

Preparing for Le Mans 2014 Porsche remembers 1971 and the 917 [w/video]

Sun, 07 Apr 2013

Porsche has given us another look back at its successes at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. This time it's 1971, the year that its 917 set records that haven't all been eclipsed. It's 45-kilogram magnesium tube frame was the lightest, Jackie Oliver set the fastest in-race lap with a time that still stands, and winning drivers Helmut Marko - the same Helmut Marko currently with Infiniti Red Bull Racing - and Gilles Lethem did so many laps that their distance wasn't exceeded until the Audi R15 TDI did it in 2010.
1971 was also the year of the "Pink Pig." With bodywork created by a French aerodynamics firm, the wider, rounder 917 earned the porcine moniker so Porsche painted it pink and labeled it with the cuts you'd get from a pig. Sponsor Martini was so miffed they demanded all Martini branding be removed. No one can remove the thousands of photographs taken of the car ever since. Enjoy that and more in the video below.
