Love it or hate it?

1987 Porsche 924S

This has gotta be one of the more unusual modded 924's that I've seen.

Has a blue STP oil filter, thus I hate it.

Ughh No, I never liked the thin body style. I have honestly never considered buying a 924, especially with "custom" paint.

Always liked those tailgates!

However the rest is rather odd;

Glass sunroof cut into the original sunroof?
Flared rear fenders (unless it's a trick of the light) with thin front fenders??
Standard ugly front end with bumper pads and a nice smoothed off rear???
I would understand the hood motifs if it had a mustang motor but since it doesn't???

The steering wheel cover probably gives an indication to the quality of the interior work.

The exhaust tip, head rest embroidery, inlaid Porsche in the bumper and model decal reminds me of the yellow Lambo guy on the Farmer's Insurance commercial. Obviously somebody put a lot of time and money into this, and that is their deal. We all have different tastes. Just not mine. I tend toward preservation and use that as my guide...... A lot of people share a different vision.

red and black interiors like that are so garish...for people who need attention but cant get any.

never understoof the idea of painting murals or whatever on your car. that new paintjob needs to be re-done without any of the graphics.

the doors are played out but fixable.

i dont like the porsche crest on anything but the front of the car, especially not on the interior.

but if the owner likes it then let him

I think he was on something illicit when he did the car and when he did the listing.

Seven grand is a lot of money for a LeMons racer.

It might not be everybodies thing, but most of it passes the 10ft test. Are those late offset wheels?

I'm sure he's got every bit of the $7,000 he's asking for tied up in the car. But I can't imagine anyone buying it for that kinda money.

I like how he spelled "Lamborghini" right, but not "doors."
