About this 1979 Porsche 924

VIN: 9249207557

1979 Porsche 924 · 5 Speed Manual · One Family Owned Since New · Full-Service History

Offered for sale is this 1979 Porsche 924, purchased brand new by my father and kept in the same family since new. The car benefits from an exceptional service history from new, with detailed records documenting decades of consistent care and maintenance.

I truly enjoy this car, but I don’t drive it often enough anymore to justify keeping it. I’d like to pass it along to someone who will care for and appreciate it the same way my family has since new.

This is an honest, mechanically sorted driver quality example, ideal for an enthusiast who values provenance, documentation, and usability.

Highlights:
• One family ownership since new
• Original paint and always garaged
• 5 speed manual transmission
• Short shifter installed
• Vibra-Technics performance motor mounts
• Approximately 157,000 miles, with a few miles added each month for maintenance drives to fully warm the engine and keep it fresh and running well
• Service history from new
• Significant mechanical servicing has been completed, including replacement of the timing belt, water pump, belts, alternator, fuel pump, suspension rubber, and other typical age related wear items.
• Regular oil changes using quality oils (Mobil 1, Motul) – most recent in Nov 2026
• Always run on non ethanol fuel

Mechanical & Maintenance Overview:

This 924 reflects long-term enthusiast ownership and careful maintenance, including:
• Timing belt, water pump, V belt, alternator upgrade to 90a, coolant service at ~151k miles
• Clutch replacement at ~152k miles
• Suspension work including control arms (sand blasted and powder coated), bushings, ball joints, tie rods, and alignments
• Fuel system servicing including fuel tank sealing, fuel pump, filter, AAV, and warm up regulator
• Brake system work including master cylinder, lines, fluid flush, and rear brake adjustment
• Transmission fluid services
• Numerous electrical, cooling, HVAC, and drivability repairs over time

Oil changes were performed regularly throughout ownership - annually regardless of mileage.

A complete, organized service history from new through current will be provided to the next owner.

Condition Notes -
This Porsche presents as a well-kept driver:
• Driver’s seat needs replacement or reupholstery
• Passenger seat has a crack in the seam
• Interior wear is consistent with age and mileage
• Exterior and chassis condition reflect regular use and proper care

All known issues are cosmetic in nature; the car is mechanically sound and usable as is.

The car is located in Eagle/Boise, Idaho, and is offered with a clean title.
