Unfortunately will be selling my 928 due to some financial issues.

Some details and pics:

1978 PORSCHE 928 “EURO-ROW”
VIN – 9288100622.
Imported to the US by a dentist who's office was in Rockefeller Plaza, and lived in Long Island, so the car barely got driven. He ended up selling it to a man in Rochester NY in 1985 with only 18,000 miles on it.
He owned a pizzeria and worked a ton of hours so he sold it to his son in-law, who ended up traveling to other countries for Kodak and missing much of his family life and stuck the car in his rental garage- where i ended up buying it from him with about 24k miles when Kodak crumbled and he lost his job. The car is in great shape for it's age and the mileage is accurate from everything myself and anyone who's looked deeply into the has observed. Below are notes from most of the work i've done since i've owned it. I have some paperwork from when it was imported into NYC, some notes from the owner on the purchase from Germany, an old title copy, some receipts for parts. I'm asking $18k. I finally got to drive it a bunch of times this summer and put about 500 miles on it and it runs like a top. the Borla stainless exhaust sounds perfect, and the magnaflow hi-flow cat takes the no-cat smell away. No sunroof, 5-speed, no side rub strips, deleted rear wiper, deleted US federalized side markers, this is a beautiful and quick car that hasn't seen a drop of rain or snow since i've owned it, and sits in my new pole barn 24/7. There was an old thread on this car before i bought it, mentioning 26k miles, but it was incorrect. it had 24k on it.

This list can almost be used as a checklist for my 78. Thanks

With a heavy heart i have sold my baby i thought i'd own until i retired. Gone to a fellow RL'er who'll hopefully love it as much as i do. I think it'll be a very solid car, and really appreciate the help i've found here to get it to that point. It is now a great running car which i'd have no hesitation driving a few hundred miles in a day. If i'm lucky i'll straighten out our financial issues and jump back in again.

I do still have parts from my 1981 parts car i'll update when i can.
