Steering wheel is on the wrong side.
Did you get to hear it run?
They had some of the same cars in that showroom when I attended one of those meetings a couple of years ago. Are beers still $2? _________________ White 87 924S "Ghost"

The guy who owns it was there and started it up........Sounded awsome!
He also started the 356 Carrera GT which sounded very nice also
Yeah i believe the beers are still $2......What bought you to one of these events? (i am guessing you are an Aussie) _________________ Red 1977 Porsche 924 CGT...THE MORPH IS COMPLETE  |

That can't be right, how can there only be 2 in all of Australia? There are more than 2 in my Province, I've seen the one in Edmonton run. _________________ 1987 951 - M193 Version for Japan |

Left drive cars are forbidden in Australia. The GT to my knowledge did not have a right hand drive version. _________________ White 87 924S "Ghost"

They were never officially imported by porsche into the country as they can not be registered (being only left hand drive among other things). So any brought in the AUS were privately imported....this one came from a guy in New York _________________ Red 1977 Porsche 924 CGT...THE MORPH IS COMPLETE  |
