1979 Porsche 924

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.
