This 1987 Porsche 924S was acquired by the current owner about 6 years ago and has been transformed into a 924 Carrera GT tribute featuring an upgraded engine, brakes, and suspension from 944 Turbo. In addition to the upgraded drivetrain and custom bodywork, the car has been modified with Koni yellow struts, Lindsey Racing sway bars, a custom welded roll bar, a short shift kit, a Ninemeister 944S2 rear transaxle and limited-slip differential, a Lindsey Racing 300 RWHP kit, a rebuilt Lindsey Racing cylinder head, an upgraded K26/6 turbocharger, a 3” header-back exhaust, a Borla muffler, a manual boost controller, and more. With approximately 3,500 miles since the build was completed, this 924 Carrera GT tribute is now being offered for auction by its owner out of Oklahoma.

This 924S underwent extensive body modifications including trimming and welding the rear fender wells closed and grafting a 944 Turbo front end to accommodate the intercooler. The exterior has been fitted with a fiberglass Carrera GT-style front bumper, fender flares, rocker covers, hood scoop, a Euro-spec 924 rear bumper, and a steel vented front header panel from a 924 Turbo. The was refinished in 2-stage Guards Red paint, decorated with removable 924 Carrera GT graphics, and equipped with 8”x16” genuine Fuchs wheels dressed in Toyo RA1 tires. An extra pair of 7”x16” Fuchs wheels is included as well. The seller describes the paintwork to be in fair condition with some imperfections, chips, and polishing burns visible. The steel header panel is warped from welding, some dents can be seen adjacent to the sunroof panel, and the sunroof doesn’t sit flush on account of the thickness of a new seal. The seller adds that the headlight covers are also a slightly different shade of red and the car has been used on track for 8 driver education events during their ownership.

Inside, this 924 features black partial leather upholstery and cloth Porsche script seat centers. The cabin was refreshed by the current owner with a new vinyl headliner, a reupholstered vinyl dashboard, a refurbished center console, and an aftermarket gauge panel housing a manual boost control knob, a boost pressure gauge, and an exhaust back-pressure gauge. Other modifications include a custom welded 4-point roll bar, 6-point racing harness attachments, and a MOMO steering wheel. The original analog gauges have been rebuilt with a Speedhut Speedbox GPS-based speedometer, and the odometer was previously repaired with new gauges. The seller adds that the carpets are showing signs of age, and some wear is present on the driver’s seat bolster. There is no air conditioning or sound system equipped, the headlight high beams are inoperable, and the fuel gauge can read inaccurately to within a ¼ tank.

This 924S has been fitted with a turbocharged 2.5-liter inline-four engine from a 944 Turbo which was rebuilt including new stock rod bearings, a rebuilt Lindsey Racing head, a rebuilt Lindsey Racing K26/6 turbo, all new seals and gaskets, timing and balance belts, a new turbo water pump, engine mounts, a baffled oil pan, new coolant hoses,  and a Lindsey Racing billet radiator with a built-in oil cooler.. The engine was also upgraded with a Lindsay Racing 300 RWHP kit which includes a DME and KLR chipset, a dual-port wastegate, a 3” header-back exhaust system, a Borla muffler, and a manual boost controller. The rear wheels are driven by a 944S2-sourced 5-speed manual transaxle with a limited-slip differential, an oil cooler, and a short shifter. A new pressure plate, clutch disc, and throw-out bearing have been installed within the last 2k miles. The chassis also includes a manual steering rack, early offset 944 Turbo spindles new wheel bearings, rebuilt CV joints, new Koni yellow front struts with adjustable Ground Control camber plates, Racer’s Edge front control arms, a KLA front strut brace, adjustable Lindsey Racing sway bars, 28mm rear torsion bars, and 944 Turbo brakes at each corner. The seller adds that a leak down and compression test by a local independent Porsche mechanic indicates 100psi for all cylinders with 5%, 4%, 6%, and 8% leak down. There are no fluid leaks except for the main turbo drain pipe to the oil pan.

This sale will include owner’s manuals, a toolkit, a spare tire, an air pump, and a clean title.

The seller would like you to know: “This car was built over the last 6 years as a tribute to the 1981 Porsche 924 Carrera GT with the intent to keep the original spirit of the vintage with analog gauges and Porsche drivetrain, at the same time using a more potent 944 turbo drivetrain.  It is a street-legal reliable car that can be driven daily, shown at local car shows, or driven to the track for a track day and driven home.”
