Basic information and history

The Porsche 924 was launched in the mid-1970s as the brand’s first series-produced front-engine car with a transaxle, water cooling and fuel injection. The combination of low weight, well-balanced chassis architecture and Bosch K-Jetronic resulted in an easy-to-drive sports car with good roadholding and predictable cornering dynamics. The model years from the end of the decade had a mature overall design with a proven drivetrain, pop-up headlights and the characteristic, low body geometry.

This example is a 1979 924 with a stated mileage of 66,660 kilometers. The odometer has probably done a whole lap. The car has had the same owner since 1994. The equipment includes a targata hatch and leather upholstery. The car is described as polished and paint-protected in 2023. According to the seller, the latest approval in the inspection is valid until April 30, 2026.
