Background Story of this 1978 Porsche 924

Overview of 1978 Porsche 924 For Sale by Owner

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.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior of this 1978 Porsche 924 Coupe reflects the crisp, angular design language that defined late-1970s European sports cars. Finished in black, the sleek wedge profile, low nose, and signature pop-up headlights give the 924 a purposeful and unmistakably Porsche presence. The removable roof panel adds an extra dimension of open-air enjoyment, while the large rear hatch glass enhances practicality in true grand touring fashion. Completing the look are Porsche “Telephone Dial” style wheels, which lend the car a sportier visual presence, even if they appear to be later Porsche fitments rather than original 1978 equipment. Altogether, the design remains clean, understated, and increasingly appreciated by collectors. The interior of this 1978 Porsche 924 Coupe is refreshingly simple and driver-focused, exactly as a proper analog sports car should be. Finished in black, the cabin emphasizes visibility, ergonomics, and direct engagement rather than excess luxury. The factory AM/FM radio remains a charming period-correct touch, while the straightforward switchgear and classic gauge layout reinforce the car’s honest mechanical nature. Combined with the low indicated mileage, the cabin contributes to this 924’s appeal as a remarkably preserved example of Porsche’s accessible sports car formula.

Engine

At the heart of this 1978 Porsche 924 Coupe sits a 1,984cc naturally aspirated inline-four equipped with Bosch K-Jetronic CIS fuel injection, an efficient and durable powerplant that helped define the model’s lightweight grand touring character. Paired with a 4-speed manual transmission sending power to the rear wheels, the 924 delivers a balanced and communicative driving experience that rewards driver input rather than brute-force acceleration. One of the car’s defining engineering features is its near 50:50 weight distribution, achieved through its front-engine, rear transaxle layout—an arrangement that gives the 924 far more poise than its modest output might suggest. Lightweight, nimble, and mechanically straightforward, the 924 remains one of the purest entry points into classic Porsche motoring.

1987 Porsche 924 S

PENDING SALE
$10,999
SOLD

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.

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.

PENDING SALE
$145,000

The 992-generation Porsche 911 Carrera introduced a sharper, more technologically advanced evolution of Porsche’s timeless rear-engine sports car formula while preserving the everyday usability and unmistakable driving character that have defined the 911 for decades. This 2021 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe is an especially well-optioned example, showing just 8,859 miles and finished in elegant Night Blue Metallic over a black leather interior. Equipped with desirable factory options including the Aerokit, RS Spyder Design wheels, Sport Chrono Package, and Sport Exhaust System, this Carrera already stands apart from standard examples. Adding to the excitement is an aftermarket ECU tune, providing enhanced performance and even sharper throttle response from the twin-turbocharged flat-six engine. The result is a beautifully spec’d modern 911 that combines luxury, everyday drivability, and serious sports car capability in one unmistakably Porsche package.

The Porsche 911 SC is widely regarded as one of the most important models in the history of the 911 lineage.

This 1980 Porsche 911 SC Coupe presents beautifully in Guards Red over a reupholstered black leather interior and shows approximately 23,977 miles. Combining classic air-cooled character with tasteful cosmetic and mechanical enhancements, this example features desirable details including factory Fuchs wheels, black Porsche side graphics, a body-color rear spoiler, and a 5-speed manual transmission.

PENDING SALE
$55,000

There are custom builds, and then there are machines like this. This 1970 Volkswagen Beetle Restomod shows just 710 miles and represents a complete reimagination of one of the most recognizable economy cars ever built. Far removed from its humble air-cooled origins, this Beetle has been transformed into a full custom hot rod powered by a Chevrolet LT1 V8, riding on a tubular chassis, and engineered with hardware more commonly found in purpose-built performance cars. From its chopped roofline and wide rear stance to its remote-controlled suicide doors and bespoke interior, this is a build created to command attention wherever it goes. The title carries a rebuilt designation noted in title history, which should be fully disclosed, but this vehicle’s appeal lies in its craftsmanship, engineering ambition, and sheer uniqueness rather than originality.

PENDING SALE

The C3-generation Chevrolet Corvette represents one of the most iconic eras in American sports car history, instantly recognizable for its dramatic curves, long hood, and unmistakable road presence. By 1977, Chevrolet had refined the formula into a more comfortable grand touring machine while preserving the unmistakable V8-powered character that made the Corvette a household name. This 1977 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe, showing approximately 65,005 miles, presents as an appealing example that combines classic styling with thoughtful performance-minded upgrades. Finished in eye-catching Light Blue over a Light Buckskin interior, this Corvette offers far more than stock appeal thanks to a replacement 350ci LT1 V8, upgraded 4L60E 4-speed automatic transmission installed in 2023, and a newer dual exhaust system. For buyers seeking a C3 that retains its vintage charm while benefiting from modern drivability enhancements, this Corvette strikes a compelling balance between nostalgia and usability.
