Collecting Cars is back with another off-road Porsche, but this time in the 924 chassis rather than the 911.

Rebuilt to Safari specifications, this 1978 Porsche 924 features a 2.0-liter inline-four that drives the rear wheels. This is all matched to a refurbished five-speed dog-leg manual transmission. Other details include 15-inch mesh alloy wheels, spaced wheels for a wide stance, Auto Style bucket seats, D1 Spec harnesses, VDO dials, a hydraulic handbrake, and a Martini Racing livery.

With three days left on the auction, those interested can head over to Collecting Cars for the listing page.
