Found a shark in a body shop yard

John, I can only see the front of the car, to the windshield on the passenger side. So I don't know if it's got driver side damage, or why it's parked outside in the storage lot. I'm gonna stop by tomorrow, and get the story on it. I'll take some pictures too. I would be cool if it's an 89 like mine and a GT, and for sale cheap! I'll break my own rule about owning more than one 928, at a time. Could have a trashed engine, who knows at this point?
Like you, I needed another 928 like I needed another hole in my head, but an 89 GT in my mind is the holy grail of 928s and one just showed up out of the blue and......and......and I just couldn't let it slide from my grasp!

picturesHOT!!
Here it is, and they were very elusive about the car. Said it's been there for quite some time, doubted if the owner would sell. Looks to have been there for a couple of years, and the windows have a sun shade in them. I think it's the owner of the body shop's car, or friend of the owner. May have a big storage bill on it. I'll give it some time and check back, when it's hotter than hell here in Vegas. People are more inclined to persuasion when it's HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!

John - 100% sure you have CS rims on 89GT
Joe - go look inside for a stick shift. If you see that, look at the tach for 6600 redline. If you see that, ask to see the engine, and check for the GT engine.
this is just what I did with the holy grail car that John has now. D90 rims on S4 was not a common upgrade.

Well Joe, I enlarged the picture you sent and those wheels are definitely not manhole covers. Something to check out further for sure.

When I saw it in the lot back there, the first thing I noticed was the CS rims. I wondered why an S4 would have either the wrong rims, or way upgraded rims that weren't offered after 88. It quickly piqued my interest, and caused me to go hunt further.

John & Doc, they really look like CS rims. Could be why they played stupid in the office of the body shop. I'm gonna let sleeping dogs lay for a while. Then I'll pay them a visit wearing my patch, and a hand full of cash. I'm pretty good a persuading people to do the right thing!!!!!

Get some Joe. We're all with you.
Bottom feeding is a lost art. Cash and steely eye with a good line of trash talk will do it.
