1987 Porsche 924 S
This rare 1987 Porsche 924S, with two speed automatic and 32k original miles is a two owner time capsule Porsche luxury sports car that was sold as part of an estate in Carmel, Indiana in early 2015. An Excellent original example. Paint, Body and Interior are stunning and won praise from the three Porsche Concours judges in the August 2015 Artmobilia in Carmel, Indiana. Still has that fresh feel, from the close of a door, to the touch of the wheel, the softness of the leather wheel and the snug auto shifter that can only be found in a car with so few miles. Porsche only manufactured 6900 of the 924S model in 1987, and over two years, only 9100 examples of the S were ever shipped to the U.S., were making this model particularly rare, even then. In addition, the A/C, recently converted to R134a freon, blows ice-cold. Alpine White exterior with an immaculate black Porsche cloth interior, with original Porsche tools and air pump; plastic bag for the tire and gloves (to be used when changing the tire); both Owners Manuals, spare tire and jack, touch-up stick, and 2.5 litre (2 valves per cylinder) straight four making 160 bhp. The removable oversize aluminum sunroof fits snugly in the Black Naugahyde bag and the boot luggage cover for the rear compartment works exactly as it should. This example drives and handles wondefully and really makes you feel like its 1987 all over again. J. Pasha, writing in Excellence magazine, at the time, described the 924 as "the best handling Porsche in stock form.This early production 1987 924S(Sept/1986), was It was sold in Marion, IN on December 4th, 1986 to a local gentleman by Coral Cars, Inc.
