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.
The Porsche 924 marked a major turning point for the brand, introducing a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive platform that broadened Porsche ownership while preserving the engaging driving dynamics enthusiasts expected. This 1978 Porsche 924 Coupe is a wonderfully analog example of that formula, pairing lightweight balance with simple, driver-focused engineering. Showing just 8,719 miles, this example presents as an exceptionally low-mileage survivor from Porsche’s late-1970s lineup. Finished in black over a matching black interior, it carries a timeless specification that complements the car’s clean wedge-shaped styling. With its 4-speed manual transmission, pop-up headlights, removable roof panel, and unmistakable period character, this 924 offers a nostalgic gateway into classic Porsche ownership without the complexity or price tag of its rear-engined siblings.
The most popular model from German sports and luxury car maker Porsche is of course, their epic 911 which dates back to 1964 and is going strong to this date. Then, one can argue that the Cayenne and Macan have a firm following too. But let’s delve a little deeper into their history, a little further back in time. There, we find many gems and interesting curios. One of these is the Porsche 924. Produced between 1976 and 1988, the 924 was meant to be Porsche’s entry-level offering. Yes, for much of its history, the company offered (and still offers) a sports car below the 911, making Porsche ownership more accessible to a broader segment. Hence, the four-cylinder 924 (the 911 is, and has always been a six-cylinder machine). Today’s 1987 Porsche 924 S is an interesting one from the 924 range because for much of the model’s lifecycle, it used a Volkswagen-sourced 2.0-liter flat-four. However, in 1984, Volkswagen stopped making 2.0-liter engine blocks, leaving Porsche with an engine sourcing issue. Their solution was to take their home-grown 2.5-liter unit that they used in the larger 944, slightly de-tune it and stick it in the front of the 924. This change was marked by an S added behind the 924 badge. So if you want a historic Porsche that’s definitely interesting and fun to drive, this 160,000-mile car from Rochester, Massachusetts, is your hot ticket.

Very few cars from the 1970s have the reputation of the first-generation Porsche 911 Turbo. This 1976 Porsche 911 Turbo (930) is an early U.S.-specification example showing approximately 103,898 miles and carrying VIN 9306800195, placing it as the 195th U.S.-market 930 in the 1976 VIN sequence. Porsche introduced the Turbo to North America for the 1976 model year, and this car belongs to the original 3.0-liter generation produced before the larger 3.3-liter Turbo arrived for 1978. Finished in White over a Black leather interior, this example combines the early single-turbo drivetrain with the signature wide rear fenders and factory whale-tail spoiler that made the 930 instantly recognizable. It also features a Rennsport-style front bumper, upgraded Porsche alloy wheels, factory-style air conditioning, a sunroof, and period Porsche equipment. According to the seller, this example has remained under the same ownership for the last 24 years, adding an appealing element of long-term provenance to one of Porsche’s most important early turbocharged road cars. Porsche states that 2,850 3.0-liter Turbos were produced during the model’s first three years, while specialist production records list 530 U.S.-specification examples for the 1976 model year.
Few sports cars have maintained the same combination of everyday usability, unmistakable design, and enthusiast appeal as the Porsche 911. This 2024 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet brings that formula into an open-top package, pairing its rear-wheel-drive layout and twin-turbocharged flat-six with a carefully selected configuration that stands apart visually. Finished in Chalk over a Bordeaux Red leather interior with Chalk stitching, this example has traveled approximately 11,047 miles. Desirable equipment includes the Sport Exhaust System, 20-/21-inch RS Spyder Design wheels, Power Steering Plus, the Premium Package, Surround View, ventilated front seats, and a BOSE surround sound system. The contrasting black convertible roof with double stripes in Grey and matching front trunk lid decal give this Carrera Cabriolet an especially distinctive presence.
The first-generation Porsche Cayman has become increasingly appreciated for delivering one of Porsche’s purest modern driving experiences, pairing a naturally aspirated flat-six engine with a rigid mid-engine coupe chassis and beautifully balanced handling. This 2008 Porsche Cayman shows approximately 50,658 miles and combines that enthusiast-focused formula with a desirable 6-speed manual transmission. Finished in Black over a Sand Beige full leather interior, it also benefits from comfort and convenience features including heated seats, Bose surround sound, automatic climate control, and a remote 6-disc CD changer. For buyers looking for an analog-era Porsche that blends everyday usability with genuine sports-car character, this Cayman presents a compelling package.
