HELP! Is there anyone who knows 924's better than I do?, 924 Martini Edition + complete project $1,500 Options

[Ace Le Count]

Okay fellow Porsche enthusiasts, I've recently come across the opportunity to buy a 924 Martini Edition for $1,500 and I was wondering if there is a way to know for sure that it's an authentic World Championship Edition (equipment code 426) and not a standard 042-equipped car?

It comes with another car for parts. Needs a few things as it's been sitting since 2003. It is missing the plaque, but has the red interior and side stripes that it's supposed to have. The seller was driving it and cracked the head due to an air bubble. It was replaced but the fan belt snapped on the way home. After that it just sat. 17 years later, the seller claims that mice have chewed up the plug wire. What do you think? $1,500 for 2 924's. The second car appears to be pretty complete, too. Is there a way to authenticate the martini car? How can we know for certain that it's the real deal? The VIN is 9247210022

The cars are in another state.

I've posted a thread on 924Board.org, but it seems to get less traffic than 914 world, so I thought I'd reach out to the 914 guys and gals for advice.

I'm 17 and can't afford to buy a halfway decent 914 at today's prices. The unicorn deals are getting harder to find as we speak.

(That's why I'm looking at 924's in addition to 914's)

What do you all think?



THANK YOU!!!

Thanks everyone. It's great having you. I'm on a road trip with my family. We're off to Idaho for some camping.

Anyways, I live in Laughlin, NV and the cars are located in Chico, CA.

We're in a pinch and we'll most likely be moving up north within the next few months.

IF ANYONE WANTS A SIDE JOB---- ⬇⬇⬇

I'm looking for a way to get the cars away from the seller and into a safe place.

Maybe not Laughlin because it'll be that much harder to bring them back up north when we move.

Is there anyone that would be interested in helping me move the cars that might also be able to store them for me as well? Or one or the other? I could pay you by the month for space rent.

It would only be for a few months.

If anyone is interested, you can PM me and we'll work out a price. It would be nice to find someone between idaho and Chico.

I know it's a huge favour, I just thought I'd ask. I might post this question as a new thread... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) thanks everyone!!
