omg my $1400 porsche is RARE [View all]

I like this.

I found out my 83 is a *transitional* porsche.

turbo 4
924 front bumper.
924 back wind0w
911 engine
one of VERY FEW that carried no back end badge and only had the porsche name on the spoiler with no other marks...they couldn't decide to call it a 924 or a 944 so they just didnt badge it at all.

Think I have a car worth restoring

That's a real good price for a vintage car which can be driven. But think twice before restoring. yellowcanine Apr 2012 #19

Turn it into a hearse. HopeHoops Apr 2012 #20

Whoever did that? bluedigger Apr 2012 #21

It's from "Harold & Maude". They only made one and it was destroyed in the final scene. HopeHoops Apr 2012 #22

Well, I guess that was for the best... bluedigger Apr 2012 #25

Do you have any idea how much that thing would be worth if they'd used a double instead? HopeHoops Apr 2012 #28

I think you have a 944 there. hifiguy Apr 2012 #24

"Rare" doesn't always mean "will demand a high price on the collector's market" Blue_Tires Apr 2012 #26
