Default Howdy. 1980 euro 4.7L 928S manual.

Officially a member! 1980 euro 4.7L in oak green metallic. 5 speed. And LOVING it. Huge thanks to Justin at EU Autoworks in Stillwater MN for going down the rabbit hole and saving this beast. More work to do, and more pics to come--but the mechanicals are sorted, all the HP is back, now the interior awaits. Texas car.

Nice looking car!

Exhaust tips/shield/pumpkin were matte black from factory.

matte black high temp it is then. Seems the variations on an otherwise stock car are wide ranging in appeal. As usual--the german design decision was best.

Put it in the "Official VIN Check" thread. Since it's an 80 (and a 928) the guys with the "special powers" will be able to tell you what it came with.
