Porsche's headline-grabbing 911 hasn't always been the automaker's sole offering. For much of the automaker's existence, they've always offered something cheaper, as an entry-level model. Their thinking is that once you've sampled the Porsche driving experience, you'll want to graduate to their flagship. Between 1976 and 1988, the Porsche 924 was the feeder into the Porsche family. As you'd expect, it's a proper Porsche since it's basically the automaker's first impression tool. Hence, you'll really enjoy owning and driving this ultra-low mileage 1978 Porsche 924, with just 8,520 documented miles done since new. No wonder the car looks like it left the factory last week. The current owner also includes the original manuals with this New Jersey-registered vehicle.
Exterior and Interior
The most prominent feature of this 1978 Porsche 924, and any 924, is its pop-up headlamps. It's not the first time that the automaker has used these; they were also seen on the 924's predecessor, the 914. Once you've got over ogling at this lovely feature, you'll note the car's sleek lines and fastback silhouette. Finally, this black beauty rolls on an alluring set of 14-inch black wheels with a silver lip ring, creating an element of lightness amidst the dark palette. Inside, Porsche gives you a two-plus-two cabin layout, just like in the 911. The front leather seats are great for adults of all sizes, while the two rear leather seats are better suited for children. Hence, the 924, like the 911, can easily serve a family. As a proper Porsche, you'll find plenty of conveniences, such as power windows, power mirrors, a push-button radio, and air conditioning. There's even a sunroof to open and enjoy the sky on pleasant days and nights. Focusing our attention on the instrument panel, we see that it is built around a three-dial philosophy, while the 911 uses a five-dial layout. However, you still get a speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, coolant temperature gauge, and warning light cluster. As for cargo space, there's a generous amount beneath the rear glass liftback.
Engine
While the engine of a 911 lives in the tail, the 924 adopts a front-engined configuration. This particular 1978 Porsche 924 features a Volkswagen-derived 2.0-liter 4-cylinder powerplant that was rated for around 110hp when new. Driving the rear wheels via a four-speed manual gearbox, this is a car that you will enjoy driving, wringing out the engine to extract the maximum performance, and relishing its handling to conserve as much speed as legally possible on a favorite road. Plus, there are some tasty extras to note. The current owner says that there is a set of new shocks and a second muffler that are not installed but are included with the sale. We're also informed that the car's original brake pads will be provided.
