1990 Porsche 928
VIN: WP0JB2929LS860227
Transmission: Manual
Color: Burgundy
Miles: 125,148
Thanks
If your information is correct, it is a manual trans, 1990 in burgundy with modest miles. 'Average condition' doesn't mean much but what you have is a rather rare 928GT in a very desirable color. If I assume no body work needed, and decent paint, with a suitable interior, you are looking at high $20k up to mid $30k, all depending on condition and work needed. It could even go higher with the right options, and better than average condition, with no repairs needed.

Appreciate the quick response! Is there a data plate that we could decode the options? The car is in Atlanta.

True...and the value of the dollar vs. Deutschmark back then was a contributor.

Lift the carpet in the boot(trunk/hatch) and look for the white square label. All the options will be on that, along with the engine and trans code. Start another thread, and discuss the car here. We are always interested in a new to the forum GT.

Check the "Official 80 - 95 VIN and Option check request thread". It is a great service to our community!

The whole-hog Panamera, at $180K, is the year adjusted sticker price of my 87 S4.

That was ugly money back then, but 180k today...has a much wider market.

Thx
References for more than one full restoration that I know of:

1978 #241 by 928 Classics
1978 #107 (Minerva) by William
... there was also a 1986 restored in 2016 by Porsche Center Hatfield and M&A Coachworks, but it's not an OB

I'm sure there are others that I haven't heard about. However, the current rage/trend seems to be sympathetic restorations or preservations, which obviously will never be 100 point cars, but can be nearly as costly and result in cars that would sell for just as much as (or more than) 100% restored. So yes, I'm back-tracking slightly on my original statement (there's not a lot of these complete restorations going on), but I'll stand firm in my point that there's finally some really serious money & attention being spent on these cars. I see that trend as a line of dominos just starting to tip; once a few start to happen, many more will follow.
