Overview of 1987 Porsche 924 S For Sale by Owner

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.

Exterior and Interior

Wearing an attractive red paint coat, this 1987 Porsche 924 S features another interesting feature shared with the 944 of the time; pop-up headlamps. You’ll also notice that the 924 doesn’t look close to a 911, because Porsche’s entry-level models never ape the looks of its bigger and more well-known sibling. After all, why dilute its impact with lookalikes or scaled-down versions? Hence, the 924 has its own distinctive style, with a wedge-shaped silhouette, five-hole alloy wheels, and a rear liftback as key points. The interior of this 1987 Porsche 924 S comes in light tan and features 2+2 seating like a 911. Yes, you can use this as a family car, aided by its surprisingly spacious trunk that’s easily accessible via that large liftback. The car includes air conditioning and a Blaupunkt radio cassette tape player with plenty of buttons that will appeal to classic audio enthusiasts too.

Engine

This 1987 Porsche 924 S has a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated 4-cylinder engine under the hood. The engine was reportedly rated for around 160hp when new. A 5-speed manual gearbox is used to drive the rear wheels.
