1982 Porsche 924

Using technology proven by Porsche’s racing cars and the legendary 911 Turbo, a high-performance version of the entry-level 924 model was introduced in 1979, featuring a turbocharged engine, stiffened suspension, functional styling, and four-wheel disc brakes as standard equipment. Representing the final year of Turbo production for the U.S. market, this 1982 example comes finished in blue [Factory specified in Diamond Silver Metallic (Z4)]over black partial leather upholstery. It equips a sunroof, a rear window wiper, 15” ATS wheels, and much more. It is now being offered for auction out of Pennsylvania.

Vehicle Details

PCA Member and Porsche Enthusiast owner, passing on my 924 Turbo (931).

This example is a mechanically correct, running and driving vehicle.

This 1982 Porsche 924 Turbo was acquired in January 2024 by the Seller and is finished in a blue, non Porsche color example. The car was refinished in its current shade of blue during time with the previous owner (a color sample is included in the sale).

The 924 Turbo uses the same Audi-sourced VW EA831 2.0-liter inline 4 engine as the standard 924 but redesigned with an all-new cylinder head assembled in Stuttgart as well as a K26 turbocharger producing 10psi of boost. Up to 150 HP and 155 lb.-ft of torque are sent to the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual transaxle. The 924 Turbo came standard with an upgraded dual-circuit brake system with ventilated discs at each corner and a stiffened suspension including anti-roll bars front and rear.

Power is provided by a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four mated to a five-speed manual transaxle, desirable 15″ ATS five-lug basketweave wheels, pop-up headlights, a removable sunroof, a rear spoiler, and original front bucket seats, upholstered in black leather.

The 15″ ATS four-lug basketweave wheels are mounted with 195/65R15 91H FALKEN ZE960A/S tires that show production-date codes from 2019.

The air conditioning system was removed under previous ownership.

The original 3 spoke steering wheel frames a repaired instrument cluster comprised of a 85-mph speedometer and a reverse-sweep tachometer with a 6,600-rpm redline as well as gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The six-digit odometer has been repaired under current ownership and shows 95,444 miles, approximately <200 of which were added by the seller. True mileage is unknown.
