nice looking car, but the dealer is wrong - it is a Euro based on the rear fog light. It looks good, and this could be a good grab.

Vin would have to be WP0ZZZ to be Euro. Probably a replacment fender at some point.

strange that the owner would replace the bumper cover and put a euro foglight in. I had not seen the VIN but do now. This one would require some research before a serious run at it.

It wouldn't be the first time someone simply installed a rear fog light to "look" like a Euro.

Especially with this in the description: "which gave the car the same appearance of a Euro S"

Was a rear foglight ever an option on US cars?

No fender turn signal lights, so either not a Euro or fenders have been replaced.

It has been my understanding that '82 928s were detuned to meet unanticipated US mileage requirements and were overweight especially in light of the "Euro S" bolt- ons. Does anyone know if this is factual?

Physically inspected VIN, engine number, and trans number: all U.S. - not Euro. Build sticker confirms same. Gauges in English, no headlight dimmer switch beside driver's seat; rear end was modified to accept Euro brake fog light, synchros are very worn.

80-82 US cars are identical, they are all equally slow compared to other years.

If anything, the "Comp Package" cars might be a bit lighter due to the all manual sport seats.

80-82 have the worst cam profiles, excellent cores for a reweld.

It just means we have the biggest margin for improvement.
