This 1980 Porsche 924 shows just 35,118 miles. I purchased this Porsche in early May 2008 with 25,680 miles, from the second owner. The car is finished in Mauritius blue over a black interior. Power is the very dependable AUDI-based naturally aspirated 2.0 2 Liter LT in-line four, paired with an optional dog-leg rear mounted 5 speed manual trans-axle.
This beauty is almost bone stock; the following services have been performed. Upon purchase, I had the fuel tank professionally cleaned and sealed with a Redcoat product. Every three years, the timing belts were replaced, valves adjusted, anti-freeze, brake fluid, spark plugs and fuel filter were replaced (my 3 year rule). The car was only driven about 1,000 miles / year, so every year, I replaced the oil, oil filter and air filter. Also, replaced hatch lift struts.
The wheels are 15” phone dials - powder coated - (with the optional 5 bolt lug pattern) wrapped in Kumho tires (about 2,000 miles on the tires). Front and rear struts and shocks installed, followed by a front-end alignment.
Not a spot of rust or rot on this car; never driven in winter (never seen salt or snow). The only portion of the car that was ever painted, was to repaint the hood section to repair a blemish the size of a half dollar (previous owner spilled something on the hood which damaged the paint, but the hood was not dented or scratched).
As shown in the photos, the dash has minor cracks and there is one wear spot on the driver seat bolster (upper left side of seat back). The air conditioning system was serviced last year and blows “cold”. Everything on the car works as it should (even the back hatch compartment side dome light). Washer jets and rear defrost work properly.
The interior is un-modified and stock except for the radio. I was told the floor mats were purchased at the dealer.
This car is exceptional:
1. Super clean, unmolested and original.
2. Very unique original color (Mauritius blue); I’ve never seen this color at any Porsche event or on the internet -
I was told that VW painted the Beatle this color in 1980.
3. low miles – pampered car.
Extremely nice Porsche 924’s are becoming a rare and sought-after car. This is the best looking 924 I’ve ever seen.
Thank you for looking and happy bidding!
