3 924 GT3 cars at Lime Rock circa 1991 or 1992. Tom's car is orange 53, Diablo Racing. One of the other cars was run by Elizabeth Ames .

Yep, it needed work! First thing I noticed the fuel pump was not running. There is a 924/944 specialist over in Pinole, so I had it taken over to get an estimate. The head gasket was blown:( With the head off we found a broken exhaust value:( The head was warped:( So with more money into it more than it's worth I have a running car.

I bought this car to Autocross it so, the first thing to go was the suspension. With a call to EASY in Emeryville I came up with an early 944's trailing arm, hubs, spindles, breaks and wheels from 924 Turbo. The car came from the factory with the "sport" sway bar and shock package. Which included Konis (adj. in the rear) and 23mm front and 14mm rear sway bars. While I was swapping the trailing arms I lowered and decambered the rear. Then I put 205/50 X 15 Kuhmo's on it. Break master cyliner and booster have also been taken from a 944, so now it's a M-471.

5-speed 016z

Unusual transmission (being replaced, not practical for street use)

Repainted Sapphire Blue. Car is shrouded in mystery and may be early homolgation car for SCCA racing. Car more resembles much later 924s. No aftermarket conversions were made, all parts were original factory stock. Several Porsche mechanics, and many other foreign car mechanics, have said that they have NEVER seen a 924 like it. Full Porsche 928 braking system and 5- bolt "spider web" wheels. Thicker torsion and sway bars. Car has been modified in small ways, most notable modification being to fuel injection system. Pistons and engine are to Euro specification.

This car has been an absolute blast to run in PCA "J" stock over the years and has always placed well in class. First at Pocono, several seconds and thirds at Lime Rock and Summit Point. And, a bunch of also-rans as well. Participated in the Double 50 at Watkins Glen this summer and really enjoyed competing there while placing second in class and 19th overall. In all the miles of track events and racing (over 20K now), this car has never failed to finish an event or a race -- and I DRIVE IT TO THE TRACK -- fully loaded with all kinds of track junk, of course.

Looking for someone with a spare set of Sebring stripes (previous owner buffed out the back one a little too much).

Would love to see pictures of other "original" Sebrings. It seems like most of these cars have had their graphics torn off and altered in some cruel way.
