I see that the US had 876 produced..... Are they pretty hard to find or common? I am looking at one right now and wondered if it really was that rare. _________________ Porsche 924 1977 N/A

876 produced for the US and you're wondering it is rare?
Compared to say a 1982 911 turbo?
There were 938 911 Turbo Coupes produced in 1982.
So. Yes. Yes it is. _________________ Stefan

Stefan, does it make it more valuable? And what do you think one is worth running? _________________ Porsche 924 1977 N/A

I've seen this one in person, Applebit's father's car I believe. Well worth the money he's asking.

Yes, extremely more valuable.
But seriously, the only thing that makes the later ones better to me is the 5 lug, 4 disk wheels/brakes. My car appears to be very late and has 944 HVAC controls and 944 front sway bar setup. _________________ 1982 931- Stock with MBC at 8psi

| Unfortunately, regardless of rarity, any car is only worth what someone is ready, willing and able to pay for it. |

I found a 1982 Turbo(saw the door tag) about 20 miles north of me. Unfortunately it would need a lot of help. I looked at it momentarily last winter and apparently the turbo is missing/lost, the wiring is apparently in bad shape and the interior was almost destroyed as well as some body wrinkles. It is owned by a gold miner(yes even a small homemade smelter) who also has a NA automatic. I did see the 5 bolt spiderwebs, but didn't look much further as it was quite cold and there was quite a bit of snow around at the time. _________________ Mike
