That is a beautiful example .... I saw it up for auction a couple of months ago. is this the one pickles had up for auction? if it is it needs some work doing on it.

Correct .... it is that one. It was traded in to a Porsche dealership on a new car. It could have been bought from Pickles for a lot less than what it's up for now ... I never saw it in person but it certainly looks the goods in the photos .... 20 minutes ago, 901er said: I'll give you double what you paid for it when it's finished ? That's a very generous and tempting offer .... but I'm thinking that once the Pasha is redone and it's all shiny and new, I'll probably make them bury me in it ..... pasha Troubleshooter, micknine01 and James P 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jakroo Posted 28April, 2018 Report Share Posted 28April, 2018 if you're feeling poorly Dreamr, I know of a few people who would be willing to help you achieve the 'probably' with absolute certainty. They'd bypass the car restoration and simply roll you in the fabric and pop you into a local water way. You're buried. Car is saved. Everyone wins.

micknine01 Posted 29April, 2018 Report Share Posted 29April, 2018 Another turbo ! Never seen so many on carsales https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/Porsche-924-1981/SSE-AD-5409390?id=SSE-AD-5409390 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bear924 Posted 29April, 2018 Report Share Posted 29April, 2018 Looks like the one that was on gumtree earlier this month. US import so lower power, ugly bumpers and conversion. Seems to me that 924 turbos are often listed, rarely sold. micknine01 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice car all the same (my first Porsche was a 924 so I do have an affection for them). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishcop Posted 29April, 2018 Report Share Posted 29April, 2018 So many trashed 924 available, you'd think you'd source a set of small bumpers to tidy the car up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamr Posted 29April, 2018 Report Share Posted 29April, 2018 It annoys me when that happens .... no mention of imported vehicle. Nothing wrong with that per say, but it' almost like it's being hidden .... @bear924 .... I think they are rarely sold because this practice of hiding the correct information turns people off and news travels fast amongst the classic car buyers ..... it would be interesting to see how long an Aussie delivered car priced right would last ... not too long I'd imagine. Problem is they never come up for sale. micknine01 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is they never come up for sale. Yes true. Challenge with the 924 is that if you have a good one, you've spent more getting it to that point, than it is worth selling for. I'm of the view that the 924 turbo will because a sought after retro classic in the next 10 years. Different purchaser than 10 years ago now, with many cars getting the $$ injected to make them drive right. Soon we'll see the odd very sorted car turn up at cars and coffee etc, which will make a few people decide to get one, then the limited supply will encourage prices up. Not to silly levels, however I'm thinking values that would purchase a nice new car (so ~$60k). Dreamr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon my 924 is worth about what I purchased it for, and the price of parts I have sunk into her over the past 2 years. Still my favourite car to drive though .... I think the current blip in 924Ts for sale is a delayed result of the air cooled bubble - they are starting to see the light of day after sitting around for a few years. Is the air cooled bubble over yet? bear924 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
