I recently sold my lovely yellow 76, but it was sold for a reason. That reason to have the space and funds for this:

A 1 owner 1980 924 with 10,880 original miles. It's far and away the nicest 924 I've ever laid eyes on (besides the 200 mile 924GT that used to live in Denver $$$)

It's completely original down to the tires, every service and fill up logged into a note book. In her words it was only wet twice in rain on a road trip.

My plan is PCA Parade Concours Preservation class, Lots of cleaning and a few tiny details before then...

Man... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) that would be a hard decision but harder to pass up. That 924 is probably the only one left worth owning.

Yes...

I first saw it about 10 months back, it appeared out of the blue at my buddy's shop.

The lady owner's regular mechanic retired and she let it sit for about 5 years so she found my buddy in the yellow pages. I happened by when it was towed in and made it known that I was very interested. It just needed fresh gas, battery and fluids.

At first she was going to keep it and start driving it again, but after 10 months she only put another 20 miles on it...

He's got to keep this one. The car color matches the blue tiles on his garage floor. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Hey Ferg, you went to Colorado PCA also, right?
The main reason my Phoenix Red original paint car survived was the fact that it wasn't a metallic color, in my opinion. Yours looks metallic but man is it pretty!

Good luck with the preservation class, I'm glad your car is WATER cooled!
