It has martini stripes on the body, seats and has funky color combo interior. It is also rare model so it is worth more than same condition standard 924. Not carbureted from the factory though.

simplicity.
Along with worse fuel mileage, worse engine response, worse idle, and less power and torque.
There is a reason why automotive engines havnt been carbed for 40 years. They arnt "bad", just very outdated and dare I say obsolete tech.

I've never messed with a CIS car but I can tell you that it's much more complex than a carb and some parts are hard to get. A lot of 924s have gone to EFI, which is cool.

I had one of these as a daily driver from 83 to about 93, but it was sent to a recycler in about 97.
(Needed to much to be worth restoring)
I kept the plaque.
I still have a NOS upper part of rear seat (Part that folds down) and a pair of vinyl strips in the cans.
CIS did not have great throttle response, so I can see the carbs, but obviously EFI is the best way to go (if you don't want originality).
I liked the look so much, I might do my 914 in a similar theme.
The cars also had a "Sport suspension" but it was not that different, and did not have the upgraded rear suspention the 1978 model got.
