924S SE For Sale - Another one - Charlotte NC - $1,200
Asking Price
- PENDING SALE
So I had my 951 for sale, and I was offered cash plus a 924S, and to my surprise it turns out the 924S was another one of the SE cars. I don't need two SE cars, and if you asked my wife I don't even need one, but I took the car on trade because it gave me positive cash flow, and I figured I could sell the 24 off and get close to my original asking price on the 951.
Anyway, up for sale is a 1988 924S SE. For those not familiar with the SE here is what I pulled for wikipedia (because I am too lazy to do my own write up):
The 1988 924S SE and Le mans (Club Sport editions).
Option code was M756. LSD, Sunroof rear rock guard were optional, manual windows and locks, standard M030 suspension. Came with a SE medallion. Inside, all the cars featured sports seats, had the 360 mm (14 in) steering wheel, with, as a final flourish, the cloth door panels colour-coded to match the detail colours. All cars came with a 160 BHP engine plus an electric tilt/removable sunroof fitted as standard. It was also lowered 10 mm (0.39 in) at the front and 15 mm (0.59 in) at the rear, and fitted with stiffer springs and gas-filled shock absorbers all round. It was further given sport anti-roll bars with diameters of 21.5 mm (0.85 in) at the front but 20 mm (0.79 in), rather than 14 mm (0.55 in), at the rear. Wheels were ‘telephone dial’ phone dial cast alloy 6J x 15 at the front and 7J x 15 (at the rear).
Only 980 Club Sport option cars were built in total. 500 units for USA black only, 250 GER 200 black and 50 white cars, 230 ROW 113 black and 117 white
US was black only paint scheme with optional SE Edition decal. US Interior was gray with maroon pinstriping, and maroon carpeting (upholstery is weak fabric and does not hold up to sun).
ROW Paint finishes and interiors were only offered in two colour choices - Alpine White with Ochre/Grey detailing or Black with Turquoise detailing. The exterior side stripes were broken by scripted ‘LE Mans’ logos on the lower part of the door, while the rims of the holes in each wheel were in the appropriate Ochre or Turquoise. Inside, the cars featured sports seats. ROW Upholstery was grey/ochre striped flannel cloth with ochre piping for Alpine White cars, or grey/turquoise with turquoise piping for Black cars.
Details on the car I am selling:
- 1988 924S SE
- 79xxx listed miles, given that there are only 5 digits it could be 179k, 279k, etc
- Car runs and drives just as it should
- Suspension is the M030 924S stuff, but is missing the rear sway bar
- Paint is not so good, but would make a great track car
- Interior is also not so great, but I have a set of workable seats if someone wants to work that into the deal
- Wheels are 15x6 all around, so it no longer has the 15x7s on the back

Hmm...
A/C? Would you trust it as a DD?

nice car. beat the crap out of it for pennies.
every morning leave the driveway with, "will today be the day ?" really kick the effin' stink out of it every day.
when it dies, you'll be up a boatload of parts and be with your other 924 for eternity—all for pennies.
the rip off happens when you sell this car.
but it's plenty fast.... so why sell it ?

Not sure it dd worthy at the moment, the timing belt is of unknown age, and the tires are at the end of their usable life. But if those two issues were addressed I would be willing to drive it daily. The previous owner drove 150 miles to deliver it to me, so that's a vote of confidence.
As for the ac, it is there, but is inoperable. I can throw a spare compressor in with the sale.
If the next owner wants to track this, I have spare fenders and a spare valance that could be negotiated into a deal.

Sure,
Current interior w/ seat covers:
Dash is cracked under a wavy dash cap:
I also have another set of seats that are in much better shape available for a little bit extra (front and rear are available, as is the rear hatch carpet). Those seats are below:

Very tempting. But, I can't see a good way to get it to Oklahoma!

I'd fix the timing belt before pulling out - assuming it's not a much bigger job than I imagine. The problem is that I'm attending an Army school at Ft. Sill and I'm not going to have any good opportunities to fly out of here and take the two days necessary to drive a car back.

Understood, I hope to move the car quickly, but who knows it might be around when you do have time.
In the pictures of the engine the car is missing the snorkle off the air box, I added one from my other 924S.
Also, I am starting to pull apart the motor from the other 924S, so there will be a whole bunch of parts available for purchase either alone or in a package deal with this car. Parts like a fresh water pump, cam tower, head, short block, dme.....

Time for good news, bad news:
good news - the stumble that was happening before the car warmed up has been cured. I replaced the fuel rail and injectors with a spare I had from the other car and that seems to have done the trick. I will test it again to be sure.
bad news - there is no LSD in the car, tested it today and it is an open diff.

Yep, won't have any trouble driving up on a trailer. I did a few laps of the neighborhood after the fuel rail swap and she is running quite well.
