1987 Porsche 924

One of the rarest of the rare Porsches. a true Unicorn in the land of Porsche.  Ideal car for person who wants to round out their car collection with a development car.  This is a single digit VIN car!   These cars have been climbing in value as the 911 market jumped up significantly.  The Porsche Club and other magazines have been running articles almost monthly on the merits of the light Front engine 924 and derivative cars.  
sold by Porsche Cars North America in late 1986.  The car is registered as a 1987 US model car.  Per Porsche Classic the car was shipped from Neckarsulm Plant to Weissach as all 924/ 944 engineering and development was done in house.  The build sheet print out from Porsche shows option codes 734. and 735 in German. which translate to Development Engine. and Development transmission.  I have only been able to find two other Porsches with these codes in the world. one a 944 Turbo. and the other a 911 Turbo that is documented as a test mule.   Based on information available and talking to Porsche Classic department it appears this car was most likely used for the 968 Turbo RS engine development. The Museum has bene contacted. but say they have not found any documentation as little information was kept by Porsche from the 1980's.  I have the dealer print out of build options like the COA to document the development items.  
The paint is slightly faded. it appears that it will polish out. although I have not touched any cosmetic items as the car is still original and ideal to see how it was delivered from the factory.
A considerable amount of work has been done either recently or not many miles ago to make the car solid and reliable. Work that has been done includes: new Factory Sachs clutch. clutch fluid and brake fluid flushed. new transmission oil. new oil and filter. new gas filter and fuel pump. new injector. new air filter. new plugs. wires. cap and rotor. Crank sensor replaced. AC recharged. battery removed cleaned and inspected around battery tray which has original paint still intact. new Tires. New Battery. nbsp; headliner was replaced. nbsp;rebuilt alternator. Bilstein front shocks. ew brake pads. and rotors look replaced. The timing belts were inspected and are clean with clear ink print and no cracking. I have receipts for much of the work. but not all. with receipts as far back as 2003.   
The car has had some items removed to save weight. they were all packaged and put in boxes and are included in the sale.  It was just misc easy to get to stuff that took little time to remove like the Radio. rear upper seat back. spare tire. hatch and hood gas struts. and the headlight motor and cross bar.  Blaupunkt radio appears to be a replacement as it has a CD.  The radio was intermittent on playing music. The bumpers were trimmed the struts were retracted. trimmed and re mounted to get the clean original European look.
The car drives great and has strong performance as the weight is less than 2. 00 pounds.  I have primary used the car for Porsche Club Fun Runs in our local region and just completed a 120 mile run last weekend.  
The car has a clean California Title and the car passed California smog last time it was required to.  Due to the difficulty in getting older cars to pass the restrictive california smog I am not interested in selling the car for use in California.  So please do not bid if you are a California resident that plans on registering the car in California.  
Good luck bidding.  I am starting the bidding low with no reserve.  I have multiple sports cars and want to reduce the collection size to please my wife.  Vin is not correct. could not get eBay listing to take actual vin so had to cut and paste one.
