Here's the 78 that Rob did with William. It has helped me very much with my 79. https://rennlist.com/forums/928-foru...f-minerva.html
Good luck on finding a 928!

i appreciate the posts and the potential cars for purchase, but these are beyond my needs at the moment. both black cars are gorgeous, though. the interior in Rob's car looks brand new and just so perfect. i'd love to see the '78 that's heading to monterey - that car must be an absolute show piece.
It's the best restoration I've seen.

There were only 3 US market '89 GTs that came without rubstrips. Now there are 4- Greg and I decided to delete them because A) the car looks way better without them, and B) I kept them and prepped them for paint so if a buyer wants to reinstall them with good 3M tape.
Much better without: (I still need to install the cladding on the bottom of the door skin itself, looks a little funny without it)

I love it!

No, this one was done by Greg's guy up in Hawaiian Gardens. (I'm sure there's an interesting story behind the name of that part of town....)

We had to dig up a perfect rear window without a third brake light, for this car we just painted, too.

Rob and Greg that GT is awesome,
the PO guy that took it apart should be smiling too somewhere.

Perseverance my friend, thats what you have.
I am glad it went to you guys,
no one could have done it better.
And for all the BST you put into it you should keep it and use it

My client isn't interesting in taking votes. He's pretty secure in what he likes and what he wants. He's got 4 of these cars, including a '91 with the GTS flare option.

While there are no easy parts, THAT is definitely not the easy part... for me!

my search is/was more geared towards the early cars, but i thought i'd consider the GT. i forget who is selling it, but one of the GTs is in the $55k range, so some pricing has been mentioned. that is [unfortunately] above my budget, which is more in the range of $18-20+k for an early 928 - knowing that will get me a very nice driver quality car. if i found a GT for something above that, i would have considered it. i've looked at GTs on and off for many years and i simply waited too long to get one without flipping a current car. a quick look at my cars will tell you i'm not necessarily a dreamer or a future Boxster owner. i had no intention to mislead the conversation.

If you want a nice driver that has a third pedal, I believe my '87 is a great buy for much less, even though you mentioned red is not your first color choice.
I don't think you'll find a manual S4 for any cheaper moving forward, similar to your thought on you should have bought a GT many years ago.
I do a lot of business in Plano and live in Houston as well, if that matters any.
