[uncle silvia]

OOOh deffo worth a look if nothing else!!

 

I did actually have a Porka Barn/hedge find a few months ago here in New Zealand!

 

We went out on a classic car run, stopped in a pub and noticed something in the bushes opposite!!??

 

We had to investigate and we found these............

I used to find Razzle in bushes, that's quite an impressive 'hedge find'.

WTF?^^^ MK2 granada "ute"? Thats a very impressive hoard there!Ive had a little more detail through. Its DEFFO a porka but its in very poor condition with plenty of corrosion. The owner doubts ill actually want it but just wants it gone from his barn.

Not only that, it's fitted with the rarely seen optional food blender too!

Can't go wrong either way, surely. If it's an LT28 coupe then straight over the bridge, if it's anything else,,,, kerchiiing!

I remember those being an option on some Fords, it was quite heavily publicised for a while, even having it's own ad on the telly. But people didn't seem to want an enormous roof mounted food blender though.

[Mr Lobster]

As Pog says, surely its WIN either way really. Anything other than a 924 should be worth a decent bit of coin however bad it is.

[Station]

Even a 924 would be win, I've never seen a 'complete' 924 or one without broken bits, there's always a market for parts off these.

Think its called a Ford Pampa.

[whitevanman]

it's an XD Falcon ute may be called pampa in NZ though

[Guest]

Got any more shots of that Piazza?

If it is a 928 .should deffo be worth a look , and if i can just vauguely remember they were fully galvanised so rot at least should not be an issue......the engine on the other hand....woulld be nice though if it was a really early one with the teledial wheels and the chequered seat trim!!

Parts prices are the big issue with 928s. Even I'm scared of running one of those, and I can normally manage to run huge stuff on a budget without ruining 'em.

There's always the Ford TDDi transplant option? No? What's that you say? You want to remove my liver and deep fry it while it's still attached to me?

LOL, it's not the fuel that's the killer with a 928. Anyone can put the fuel in a badly maintained one - they don't use much when they're borked.

[barrett]

Just remembered this

which has been off the road for 20 years and in that garden for at least 12, so there are old 911s out there rusting away.....

Its still a Falcon here...... never heard of a Pampa LOL

I did notice the wing on the back and thought RS!! Is there any way i can tell what model it actually is.... numbers etc?? Worth having another look maybe??

[Lankytim]

Ive found out what it is!!Its an X reg 924 thats been in a barn for 10 years. So as suspected, its the crappest/cheapest Porka possible.Ill go and take some pics as soon as I get chance.

But the most fitting model for this board, surely? Except maybe the 914/4

Wicked! That's going to have the Pasha chessboard seat trim. Is it Mocca brown as well? Pasha+Mocca+Automatic. There's a club called www.notarealporsche.co.uk.....and here it is!http://www.924oc.co.uk/the-924/4537948151

Exactumondo. This is surely the only forum where a 924 is NOT a disappointment! I'd quite like one. With a slush box.

Excellent, an LT coupe.

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

Excellent, an LT coupe.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!The 924 came out before the LT Van in '75. It used a derivative of the old Audi 100 engine. The LT Van arrived in around 1976/7.Are you related to Mrs S Vogue by the way?

[pogweasel]

The MGB predates the Sherpa, doesn't stop us.... LT Coupe is therefore a correct terminology.

[Mr Lobster]

A year or two back, one of the staff of some classic mag or other had a white 924 as his 'staff car saga' or whatever. Think it was an X reg. Not a mag I usually read so I'm not sure which mag it was (only realised it was the same car as it had the dealers rather distinctive plates on it). Anyway, back in about 1994 I worked in a VW franchise in Blackburn. Self same Porka was traded in and they decided to retail it. It was an utter skip and needed quite alot of engine work. This is when I first heard of the VW Audi link as the technicians used all the VAG manuals to get the engine to run properly.When done I got the job of running it up to the MOT place. This was moderately exciting as I'd never driven a Porsche before. Rather underwhelming experience it was though....

[Lankytim]

I wont beable to get over to check it out until early next week. I recon itll deffo have a brown interior .Any idea on what I should do with it? Im guessing itll be pretty much in scrap condition and I dont have the time/money/inclination for another project.Oh yeah, its got 250k+ miles on it.

[Captain Mainwaring]

Scrappage it for a Qia Picanto!Send it to the oval!Put a completely stupid bodykit and wanky decals on it!
