Looks very nice!

Recommend a set of matching tires. Those rear Fuzions are probably a bit old by now as well.

The Toyo T1R is still available in those sizes. Pirelli has one now as well, but they're twice the price.

Looks like Bridgestone might be phasing out the RE-11 in the 245.

I agree with those who feel that BaT would be a good venue for you to sell this car. You clearly have the ability to take good photos and that's critical, IMO.
You may want to reach out to Stan (Mrmerlin) and ask his opinion on selling on BaT, what to do and what to avoid doing, and how to effectively list it.
Also, heed advice like GeorgeM gives in response to your pics. If you welcome advice here on RL, your photos will be constructively reviewed and advice like matching tires could make a significant difference in how the car is perceived by a selective buyer.
Your car looks really nice, BTW

It looks a lot like Otto's car. Nice color combination.

Not very scientific but as a casual watcher of BAT I have noticed that the final bidder or buyer does not always comment or bid until the final minutes. So you can say what you want about all the entertaining and uniformed comments but I think a lot of readers end up with more knowledge about the cars which is all good.

Note to Rickstaff: don't forget the jump post cover

On line stuff is not my strong suit. What's the jump post cover?

It's the small plastic cover that covers the jump post and the 14pt connector. As you are facing your motor it's just behind the radiator. $6 part from Roger. I'll look for a pic

Congratulations. How much did it sell for? Or at least how much were you asking?

Thanks for the follow up! I've had great success sending cars back to Germany on Mobile Germany There is a very pa$$ionate following over there for 928s now, at least for early cars. ... more so than in the US currently. Advertise, deal privately, no peanut gallery, no auction fees.

Homeward Bound!
