Oh I have a car hoarder friend here who just bought a questionable 924! It apparently runs, but that's all I know.

I'd be surprised if 10% of 924 are still on the road. Anyone with taste and money who wanted front-engine bought the 944/944 Turbo/944S. Or 928. The 924 was more of an entry-level/European car that only predated the much faster 944 by a handful of years. It wasn't like the 924 had a long run before the 944 was introduced.

Thus, as the little brother to the 944, the 924s were neglected.

Awesomely pretty, and just 2,380 lb (1,080 kg)! Now you've got me on a 924 kick :lol:

Interesting, my old Scirocco 1 had these ATS Cup wheels on it, and they look so similar to your first 924 pic. They were alloy though, and maybe knock-offs because I was in no position to be buying fancy wheels.

I look at the Ford Maverick as a set of four very cool steelies at a steep $6k each, but you get a modern compact utility truck thingy also.

I'm thinking custom-ordered steelies, in a Ford / Volvo bolt pattern (?), chrome trim rings, and he / she somehow figured out how to attach old 140 hubcaps in there! Pretty tasty.

Wait...is that old Alfas that have the Ford bolt pattern? I'm just assuming a specific Volvo pattern might not be available in these wheels.
