Save the 924 (and other early water-cooled Porsches)!

PURPOSE
The purpose of this petition is to encourage PAG to add a wide range of currently unavailable parts to the Porsche Classic catalog so that water-cooled enthusiasts can continue to rebuild, restore, and enjoy these fantastic cars.

CALL TO ACTION
There is growing interest in the early water-cooled cars. We believe there is sufficient worldwide demand for PAG to make these parts available again.

BACKGROUND
OEM parts for the 924, 944, 968, and 928 models are becoming increasingly difficult to find, with several of them now NLA (no longer available). Many of these parts are specialty items only available from the manufacturer (that is, they are not normal wear parts available from aftermarket or OE suppliers). Furthermore, most of these parts are crucial for proper restorations and engine rebuilds. Enthusiasts are currently forced to rely upon a dwindling supply of suspect parts recovered from salvage vehicles.

I love my 924 and want to keep it on the road for as long as possible. Even some wear and tear parts are getting hard to come by, there is virtually no availability for the 40cc fuel pressure accumulator for example.

I would love for Porsche to bring back some of the hard to find or no long around parts that you would just love to get brand new!!! I own a 83' 944 N/A and brake parts and door handles are some of the few thing its just hard to come by!! Thanks!!

I own a 1980 931. I have maintained and rebuilt her. Only my Grandson will make me part with her. Please make parts available for this wonderful machine so our next generation can appreciate the 294/931.

I've had 3 Porsche's over the last 15 years some I've completely customised but as an auto mechanic I find it very hard to fix these beautiful rare cars when there is a real lack of available parts we don't need to make it harder please make parts more available!

I agree whole heartedly with this. PAG boast a proud fact that 70% of all Porsches ever made are still on the road. If they remanufacture parts that are currently NLA at reasonable costs we can maintain or even increase that figure.

The lack of these parts takes complete cars that should be restored to Parts Heaven. We should not be dismantling these classics just for the purpose of maintenance. Bring the true enthusiast what they need.

I have two 931 customers that I’m constantly searching for parts for their card.
