1981 Porsche 924 Turbo

1981 Porsche 924 Description:

For sale, 1981 Porsche 924 Turbo (931) with 88,600 original miles.
Recent work:- turbo newly rebuilt with rebuild kit and new heat shield, < 100 miles- valve stem seals replaced, qty. 8- timing belt and idler/tensioner pulley replaced- new ignition cap (rotor is perfect)- new coolant reservoir- valve cover gasket replaced- Mobil 1 oil change with Mann filter- caliper rebuilt, front left- reverse light switch replaced
Prior to purchasing the car it had barely been driven since 1990 and only ~100 miles since 2001. I’ve put <2000 miles on it. New Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sport tires all around (<1000 miles).
New brake rotors and pads front and rear. New rear KYB Gas-a-Just shocks.The wheels are in near-perfect condition with no curb rash or other damage. The turbo is freshly rebuilt and boosts nicely. The clutch is strong and has plenty of life left. The "new" inspection dimension for the clutch mechanism is 18mm and the "replace" is 35mm. The current measurement is about 24mm. The 5-speed gearbox is the standard pattern type with 1st gear up and left.The transmission operates flawlessly.
The car has been resprayed at some point in the original platinum color. The paint is not perfect. There are areas that are cloudy or have spots. I haven't tried to polish the paint though. The exterior stickers were not replaced after the respray but are available on eBay for little money. The hood and roof were resprayed in September with solvent base/color and 2K clearcoat. Some of the pics were taken before the respray and show peeling clearcoat.
This '81 924 Turbo includes from the factory 4-wheel disc brakes, 5 stud hubs with forged 16" 7-slot wheels (like on 928), 3 spoke steering wheel (same as 911 SC of the era and some 944). The doors close with a finger touch and the body appears very straight. There is absolutely zero rust anywhere. There are minor door-ding type imperfections here and there. The sheet metal chin beneath the front bumper is slightly bent with missing paint but could be straightened out, etc.
Glass hatch struts are strong and lock and latch work properly.
The interior is good but not perfect. It looks like the previous owner put a cap/cover on the dashboard. The seat upholstery has separated between the cloth and vinyl. The steering wheel leather is intact but needs to be re-stitched. There are no leaks from the removable roof panel/sunroof. The sunroof seal needs replacement but all 4 sunroof drain lines are verified clear and there are no leaks. The power windows work well but slowly like all of these do. Interior blower is intermittent.The A/C blower makes a rubbing noise.Shift knob has new cover. Overall the interior is good for a 38 year old car but front seats could use recovering. Seat belt operation can be notchy.
