Default JE joins the ranks of the Old Bugger owners

Sheeeeeeesh! I try to narrow down the fleet, and I end up down one 1986.5 and up cash and an 82 3 spd AT. I think somebody needs to shoot me. :-) Actually, it's agood place to put all the interior parts that are cluttering up my home, and then it's going on the auction block.

Regards,
JE

1982 928 x 1 (Silvermetallic/Black AT for sale)

Why does this remind me of the story .....Guy tells his friend "I just bought a $10,000 dog " Friend says " You PAID $10,000 for a DOG !!" ......Guy says " No , I traded him two $5,000 cats " ..........

Don T,

**** Creek bourbon please.

Regards,
Mr. Bourbon (making an appearance soon at SITM)

Heinrich,

Pictures will probably happen tonight.

Jim,

I couldn't describe the transaction any better. Lets hope it ends up being $10K when all sales are final. That would make me pretty happy.

Man,

I love the Silver Metallic w/ the Phone Dials. That's the color I want to paint mine, so thanks for the pic.

Someone must have loved that thing. Looks in decent shape for an 82'

Uh oh, carpet cover on dash. Other than that looks pretty darn good!

The engine and mechanicals are very sound, You can almost eat off the engine. There is some rust forming under the rear 1/4 windows and the interior really needs some work (I have just about everything it needs though). I'm just going to get the interior and little stuff taken care of and see if I can get @ $5K - for it. It's going to be a pretty decent 928 when I sell it. 12 way seats, a good leather interior, good paint except where the rust needs to be addressed, a decent sound system, strong engine with a tad over 100K on the clock, new brakes, nearly new tires. It should be a good car for someone. I'm still committed to sliming down the fleet.

Not a problem, I have decent ones to put in. You are right, the dash and pod are toast in this car.

Hey John;

It's like a drug isn't it?

I thought I needed therapy for my addiction, but then I figured out it would be cheaper to buy cars instead.

Just be glad you've limited yourself to just 928's.

What is an Old Bugger?
It sounds gross.
