That is WAY cool!

I have only seen a few Jurineks over the years; they are said to have a stiffer body and better handling than the Carellis. Jurinek and Strosek worked together - it is said that all Strosek 928 convertibles were made by Jurinek.

Here are some more pictures of Jurinek conversions:

Bummer

I could have been interested although the price is a bit on the high side. BUT it's LHD and thus not registerable on the East Coast of Australia.

It says it is an 86, which I believe to be possible since the S4 style front bumper is a fiberglass update, and the rear bumper also looks a little off. But is says it has a 310hp 5.4l motor. Could be a transplanted GTS motor, I suppose.

I love the interior color, too bad it has 600 speakers in the door panels. Your country has RHD on one side and LHD on the other??? I have been to Darwin, and they drove LHD cars there...

Very interesting indeed. It would be like dropping a ball through a hole that goes to the opposite end of the earth. Would it stop?

Doesn't the intake spider look like an older 16v model?

Cabs engine is 310hp 4.7L 16V ROW S unless someone changed short block but kept correct 16V S heads and intake.

SC coupe engine is 5L 32V ROW model engine which was only available in '86 MY. Its basically US '85-86 32V S engine except pistons are different which makes CR 9.3:1 instead of 10.0:1. CR is best possible in all 32V engines for SC but it still doesn't explain inconsistency between hp and tq numbers quoted in eBay text.

In lots of countries, the 86 engine was the LH-jet 4.7L 16V engine. Only few markets got the early 32V engine as standard (USA in 85/86, and Switzerland, Japan, Australia in '86). Some countries it was an available option, but not a common one as the late S2 4.7L was rated to higher power.

The interesting ones are the Swiss and Australian 32V engines in '86 which are lower compression (9.3:1) than the USA engines, hence better suited to boost, or alternatively, mating with S4 heads for a high compression NA engine (yields around 10.8-11:1).

edit: w00t - 928th post. Although according to the hatch sticker, my cars are both Porsche 927s, so I'm a post late

I am in Perth (west coast), and both my 928s are LHD - but that's because I am cheap, and the LHD models are between 1/3 and 1/2 the price of an equivalent RHD.

We drive on the left, so a LHD can be a bit of a challenge some times - some corners are almost blind, and overtaking on a two lane road takes a bit of planning.
