http://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-924-coupe-Beautiful-1977-Porsche-924-w-factory-option-Reseda-Green-Metallic-/371015700592?forcerrptr=true&hash=item5662425070&item=371015700592&pt=US_Cars_Trucks

From what I see, not much is original, and it has a vinyl top. I also doubt it's only got ~43,000 miles 9 days and already 23 bids?

The more I look at it the more I like it, I don't care for the vinyl roof though. Clean & simple. I like the Ferrari-esque shifter. What's rare about it is the color, condition & fact that someone put that much time & money into a '77 924.

Wow! I like it....even if I wouldn't do that myself.
Even like the vinyl roof....it's got to be better than a carbon fibre look vinyl wrap!
What a lot of work has gone into that thing.

The presentation?

The Kermit photo at the end?

Other than that, it does appear to be a fairly well-executed restoration, albeit completely non-original. It's not to my taste, but kudos to the guy for carrying through with the whole resto-mod thing.

I like the 'love/hate' color combo. Don't like the vinyl roof, dash cap, hatch carpet. Vinyl roof is the deal breaker for me, can't really get that off easily if you don't like it.

damned clean. I didn't notice the dash cap at first glance. Though a couple of unusual touches, I like it. It's great to see a twofah going for some actual $$.

Fantastically weird.

Like peterld, I'd never do that personally. But I can't fault the effort.

It's pea-green metallic like the Wagon Queen Family Truckster! Brilliant!
(Disturbingly, that colour doesn't actually look all that bad on that car )

I dunno,.. I've listed mine at $10,000 in NY to see what offers I'd get, and I was still getting calls. This of course included shipping if I did send it though. 7,000 for this condition is not unreasonable, as it is in very good condition. You got to remember, in today's economy these cars would be sold for about $50,000 adj for inflation.

i like the color, i like some things about it.
i dont like the mat...silly color and rubbish texture.
I actually like the black top...but if you look closely it looks like it covers some damage near the windshield.

Exactly what I was thinking. The early chassis are notorious for rusting along the window trim on the roofline. I bet there's a multitude of sins hidden under that top.
