Bring A Friend: 1988 Porsche 924S

The Porsche 924 doesn't get much attention at the national Concours d' Fancypants events around the manicured lawns of America, but it is one of the cars credited with saving Porsche when times were tough.  People may pay a bazillion dollars for a classic Porsche 911RS, but let's face it, the 200 that were sold new didn't exactly provide much cash to keep the lights on at the factory in Stuttgart...which is where the workhorse 924 came into play.  Find this 1988 Porsche 924S offered for $1,450 in Sunnyvale, CA.  Tip from Matthew.

5k: Boswell's Life of 924: 1987 Porsche 924 S

In the late 18th century a Scot by the name of James Boswell wrote a detailed biography of Dr Samuel Johnson, who was a writer, poet and distinguished gentleman.  What makes Boswell's Life of Samuel Johnson famous isn't that it is the best biography ever written, simply it was the first modern biography and paved the way for hundreds of years of biographies in a way that is difficult for our modern heads to understand.  Boswell's masterpiece wasn't just a great work of literature, it was to the art of biography similiar in impact to Aristotle's contribution to logic, St Augustine's impact on Christianity or Yoda's legacy on the Jedi.  What car could possibly live up to the crescendo we've created?  Simply, the worlds first modern sports car, the Porsche 924.  Find this 1987 Porsche 924 S for sale in Scottsdale, AZ currently bidding on ebay for $2,125 with 8 days to go.
