I always record Mecum so I'll report back if they feature it on TV.

I get that people think they are cooling off the intake charge with the shiny insulation, even if it did work, it looks like crap. Take it off for the auction....

No doubt! That car could look a lot better and bring more $ with some simple stuff.

Are those front seat inserts original? Just curious... They look like sport seats but the pattern is definitely different than what I'm accustomed to seeing.

That center console is lifted pretty bad as well. That's an easy fix. This one is poorly prepped for auction. We've all seen better presentations on CL.

Yep. Sport seats.

Those are 911 Sport Seats from the same era, offered for a couple of years in the 928. They were part of the competition package.
IMO the most desirable seat offered for the 928.

I have two sets.

While we're pointing out flaws, I would also note the dash cover present, steering wheel wrap, and shrunken state of seat cushions. Good first impressions, but ultimately only a fair to good interior.
Any mention of mileage?

Better have good liability coverage for when someone trips over that tailpipe and sues you for injuries.
