the pod pictures appear to show finger prints on the speedo dial so it has had human contact recently. That said the interior is rather stunning as are the condition of the seats
Slightly off-topic,
but I wonder how real-life-accurate the interior color is? It almost looks like it was photographed with a light red filter?
Might just be my 1980s TRS-80 computer monitor..
Anyway, does Porsche have a CURRENT factory interior option similar to this interior color? It's almost the shade of brown like a well-worn baseball glove....
I don't think there's ever been a doubt that old 928s can be valuable, Wayne, it's just that your cars would need about $75k in restoration to be worth $60k.
The seat bottom cushions are so compressed. My 90k and 67k cars have better seats than this. Are the early cars prone to have excessive wears or perhaps this car is owned by a really heavy owner?

However it's been my experience that most 'DECENT' Ebay cars are not sold via BIN or Auction end that meet reserve. The well kept desireable, decent cars are sold "off" Ebay via contacting seller directly and making a deal. I have bought and sold a few high dollar cars via Ebay and never has it been through BIN or auction end. These 'off Ebay' transaction prices are not disclosed, but in my opinion are significantly higher across the board and in line with Haggerty valuations.
What's left on Ebay as sold through auction are usually marginal cars/fire sale for one reason or another. A lot of these also end up no-sale after buyer actually sees car and are re-listed.
The 'sold' listing prices are a red herring for actual transaction prices of decent cars, and not reflective of 928 values, or what they really trade for in 928 circles.

+1 on all points.
Having just sold a car which was listed for mid $60s on eBay the other week, the buyer contacted me after the listing ended, asked me what would it take to NOT re-list. I suggested the same $1k non-refundable deposit, which was paid w/ a credit card immediately, then the balance paid within 72 hours.
Truck came and got the car, down the road... But it was a great car, and fine example, without excuses.
The dogs though, keep getting re-listed, or worse, get flipped with remorse from the sucker who bought...

Did the top bid meet the reserved price before the listing was taken off of ebay?

Yes, early cars do seem to be prone to this appearance. Very soft foam was used and it seems to settle with very little use.

So many things look wrong about that speedo to me. Color/gloss seems different than the tachometer (might be the lighting, but...?), screws look different (speedo's are mint and tach's are rusty), and the handling/finger prints.
