This was close by and at a price that made it hard to ignore
It is an abandoned project that hasn’t been on the road for about 15 years following a failed clutch change
Needs a lot of mechanical work but the body work and interior is excellent
It’s in storage for now and will be the next project once the 914 is on the roadAttached Image Attached ImageAttached Image

I like the 924, had a few ranging from 1978, 79, and I think an 81 and of course an 87"S". Didn't the 924 have a CD of something like .29?
