At first I was distracted by the vampire-tiger-lioness painted on the door. It is like peering through a kaleidoscope into an alternate dimension Dukes of Hazzard where cousin Daisy was a vampire and Bo-Luke were Tigers and this car was named the General Flea…but then I spied a NACA duct. A NACA DUCT!! Well, well, […]
The Porsche 924 Turbo isn’t an expensive car when crossing the auction block nowadays, particularly in comparison to the 911 or anything with more initials behind its badge. The Porsche 924 was first released in 1976 as an example of what a simple engine and light chassis can achieve together. Unfortunately, a decent quantity of […]
I was going to call it 70s green over grey…but Inari Silver with Onyx Metallic just seems more fancy. And fancy is what you’d expect from a turbocharged Porsche with a NACA duct on the hood…but the Porsche 924 Turbo isn’t an expensive car when crossing the auction block nowadays, particularly in comparison to the 911 or anything with more initials behind its badge. Find this 1980 Porsche 924 Turbo bidding for $1,500 in Twinsburg, OH via Pcarmarket.com (which is not a urologists car marketplace like I first assumed…it is for Porsche people).
I wish I could tell you that I’ve got some magic crystal ball that’ll tell me what makes/models are going to see serious appreciation in the next decade or two…because I would never have guessed that 80s Porsche 911s, 60s Ford Broncos or 90s Toyota Supras would trade for the coin they get these days…But […]
The Porsche 924 was first released in 1976 as an example of what a simple engine and light chassis can achieve together. Unfortunately, a decent quantity of negative press has been heaped on the Audi van/sedan engine used to power the lithe little coupe…but in 1979 Porsche was kind enough to introduce a turbocharged version […]
Just what is it about the 924 that makes me want to own one? I remember seeing them when they were in production and thinking “That’s a Porsche?? No way man…someone is trying to flog dandelions in a bouquet”. Yet today, I find the thought of blasting through tight curves in this nifty and visually […]
You’ve probably noticed a few 924s on these pages recently, and you might say “what’s with all the 924s guys, these things are terrible?” As correct as you might be in your assessment, there will also come a time in the next year or so when you say “why didn’t I buy that low mile […]
The Porsche 924 Turbo was the answer to the question that… wait…what’s this another 924 Turbo in the span of a week, these are piles of junk — hey, you leave the 931 alone, it had the coolest hood you could buy in 1980. Hey, there Mr Porsche, you are forgetting about the Z28 Camaro’s […]
Today is the second day of the Octave of Easter — the traditional 8 days of celebration at the beginning of Eastertide that begins on Easter Sunday and ends on the second Sunday of Easter known as Quasimodo Sunday. This next car is little gem of an egg colored beauty that just needs a few […]
The Porsche 924 was first released in 1976 and in the ensuing years, countless negative press has been heaped on the Audi van/sedan engine used to power the lithe little coupe. In 1979 Porsche was kind enough to introduce a turbocharged version with a few more ponies and a sweet NACA duct on the hood […]
