Finding this thread is timely for me. I'm helping a friend who just inherited a 928 and a 968. He is likely going to sell both as he's not an enthusiast like all of us. Can anyone help me decode the options on the 928 and give me an honest opinion on what a 6-8 week sale price might be? Assume "average condition until I can load pictures. I am a 987/996 guy.

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

The 928 was made in low numbers BECAUSE that was all they could SELL !!! The annual capacity of the bespoke assembly line was over 5,000 cars per year. or well over 100,000 potentially. Porsche did not stop making 928s people virtually stopped BUYING them. When a new GTS stickered out at 100K it was over.

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!

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

... 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.
