I want to create my own "Field of Dreams". It will have all of the forgotten Porsches together in one giant field!

Field of dreams? Go to Helmand Province, Afghanistan. Lots of Poppy Fields full of dead CGT's...and the occasional Mustang.

"Zippy" (1981 931) is sitting happily in the driveway right now!

I count just few 931's in Poland:
1 mine Series 2 - actually engine in Puzzles but soon will be complete
1 in working condition Series 2
1 with engine problems Series 2
1 Series 1 in good engine condition
2 US version booth in bad condition

And that's all oficially known here. So could be something more.

From parts:
I have engine and gearbox from some 931 S1
Someone sell 931 US turbocharger on local ebay few months ago.

So I can count 6 complete cars and at least few in spares.

Well, I haven't seen an actual 931 driven in my area since the early 90's. I spot a 944 cabriolet every once in a while, and there are 3 other 924's out here aside from mine.

My 924 has half of a driveline from a 931 under it, so that would account for yet another turbo that bit the big one somewhere along the line....

I've got #428 out of a production run of 800(imported to US) 1982 931's. Her value is certainly not consistent with rarity; and I wonder why.

I too have never seen one actually moving. I use to know where a bunch set around, but never saw them move under their own power.

Interestingly, we have a pretty good contingent of them here in metro Detroit. I own three, plus I see Vaughan in his fairly regularly, and I know of probably 3 or 4 others in pretty decent shape that are drivable. There must be at least another 5 or 6 I know of that don't run, not counting the 2 I've stripped and taken to the crusher.

the first turbo I've seen driving is the one I bought this summer. That goes for a lot of my cars, such as my 86 Audi Coupe GT, MGB GT, Merkur....

Count me in with one more, in good running -and only slightly modified -condition back in Oz. I know of one other that's all but original and another that's only slightly modified (crunchie 57's), plus macBdog's Frankenstein (

). Can't think of any others offhand but I'm sure there's a few more around Brisbane...

According to Shannons Insurance website there were 171 924 turbos imported to Australia. I have got one registered on the road and one in the shed. It would be interesting to know how many have survived.
I guess there might be a few more privately imported.

Cheers Bob

For my piece I have one running, and parted one. I have only ever seen one other moving under its own power (San Diego Porsche Parade).

This is what makes our August get together exciting!
