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.

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.
The 2004 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet sits at a particularly interesting point in 911 history, pairing the 996-generation Turbo’s brutally effective all-weather performance with open-top driving. Finished in Black over Black leather with a matching Black convertible soft top, this example carries the 3.6L twin-turbocharged flat-six, 5-speed Tiptronic S automatic, and all-wheel drive that made the 996 Turbo such a formidable road car in period. It is also equipped with desirable comfort and appearance features including heated front seats, Bose high-end audio, aluminum-painted instrument dials, a thicker steering wheel, and 18-inch Turbo Twist wheels. Showing approximately 98,750 miles, this Turbo Cabriolet combines serious performance credentials with the more usable, grand-touring side of the 911 formula.
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.
This 1968 Ford Mustang Hardtop takes the familiar first-generation Mustang formula and adds a useful mix of performance and drivability upgrades. Finished in Gulfstream Aqua over a reupholstered Aqua vinyl interior, this example is powered by a 302ci V8 with a 4-barrel carburetor and a C4 3-speed automatic transmission. Front and rear disc brakes, air conditioning, an aftermarket power steering pump, upgraded shocks, and an aftermarket exhaust make it more approachable for regular cruising, while the aftermarket GT-style steering wheel and tachometer add a sportier feel from behind the wheel. Showing approximately 43,718 miles, this Mustang offers classic coupe styling with a number of well-chosen updates aimed at making it more enjoyable on the road.
This 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible is a full-size American luxury cruiser from the final model year of the traditional Eldorado convertible. Finished in White over a White leather interior with red accents and a matching White convertible soft top, it combines unmistakable 1970s Cadillac presence with a 500ci V8, front-wheel drive, and a long list of comfort features. Showing approximately 94,630 miles, this Eldorado also offers automatic climate control, cruise control, power-adjustable seating, power windows, power locks, and the period styling details that made Cadillac convertibles of this era such distinctive road cars.
This 1967 Ford Mustang Convertible Restomod blends classic first-generation Mustang styling with a thoroughly modernized mechanical and interior package. Showing 4,873 miles, it is powered by a 351ci V8 upgraded with Holley EFI Stealth 4500 self-tuning fuel injection and paired with an automatic transmission. The build goes well beyond the engine bay, adding Ridetech coilover suspension, Wilwood braking hardware, Borgeson power steering, forged Forgestar wheels, a Flowmaster stainless exhaust system, power windows, and a comprehensively upgraded TMI interior. Finished in Burgundy with a black convertible top and black cabin, this Mustang is set up as a driver-focused restomod that retains the visual appeal of a classic convertible while adding the equipment expected from a much newer performance car.
