Porsche Club of America (PCA) welcomes all Porsche clubs, owners, and enthusiasts to the Tenth Annual Werks Reunion Amelia Island on March 6, 2026, the Friday preceding the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance. Join us at the The Amelia River Club to see a breathtaking array of Porsches, from rare to current models, and everything in between!
This year, we will be celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the introduction of the 924 in 1976, as well as the series of transaxle Porsches. The 924 was both innovative, with the transaxle layout achieving balanced handling, and crowd-pleasing, as the entry-level model made the Porsche brand more accessible to a broader audience.
The Porsche 924 wasn’t even supposed to be a Porsche. Initially developed for Volkswagen under the project name EA 425, Volkswagen scrapped the plan, and Porsche acquired it as an entry-level replacement for the 914 and 912E.
When it hit the U.S., the 924 shocked Porsche purists; it was the brand’s first front-engine, water-cooled transaxle car, and American road testers weren’t kind. However, Porsche continued to refine the formula, and over 152,000 were produced.
By the late ’70s, reviews softened, praising its sharp looks, comfy seats, and road-hugging feel. A Turbo arrived in ’79, but the upcoming 944 stole the spotlight, leaving unsold 924s to linger on lots. The model bowed out in the U.S. in 1982, only to return as the 924 S in 1987 with a Porsche-built 2.5L and a livelier 147 hp.
Today, finding a clean 924 isn’t easy—early cars especially. But those who know, know: the OG 924 may be slower and noisier, yet it’s simpler, easier to maintain, and a true piece of Porsche history.
You are not required to be a PCA member to participate in this celebration of Porsche automobiles; however, you must register to Corral or be Judged. Display your cherished car in model-specific Porsche Corrals, or enter the Porsche Judged Field and compete to win in more than 20 prize categories.
The Porsche Club of America created Werks Reunion as an event to celebrate both the Porsche marque and the camaraderie of being an enthusiast. This is not a contest of who has removed dust from the deepest crevices in their Porsche, but rather a judged show that rewards a Porsche that has been lovingly maintained and presents itself well on the field. Our judges do not use Porsche Parade Concours score sheets; instead, they rank the cars according to specific attributes discussed before judging. For those who do not wish to have their cars judged, you may display in the model-specific corrals or, if the organizers see fit, on the judged field itself. There are no score sheets returned or protest committees. This is a casual gathering of Porsche enthusiasts focused on having fun rather than solely on competition.
