Default Sad day - I must depart with my shark

I have recently started my own business and due to this large financial burden I am forced to cell my shark . So i was wondering given what I've done what you all think I might get for it. Here's what's been done:

Intake manifold removed, powder coated - retested flappy function all oK.
Cleaned Injectors - by Marren.
New Knock sensors, and all new hoses as related to the manifold.
New fuel filter
New bosch platn +4 plugs, red kingsborne plug wires, rotors, caps, coils
All new belts including timing belt and water pump.
New tranny fluids including filter and rear differential gear box.
New aero mirrors.
RMB
New 930 steering wheel (from 928 specialists).
Alpine stereo system w/10 disk CD changer. (by PO)

This is just some of the larger projects I've done.

I'll take some pictures and post them but the car is an 88 automatic with 106710 miles and is in great condition.

So any thoughts on a price range?

For me, what I'd pay depends heavily on a PPI by a good mechanic and knowledge of the leakdown test and compression figures. If the engine and the big ticket items are solid, I'd pay premium....if not good, I'd pay parts prices. So it depends.

While I would trust Rennlist members more than the average, I've always wondered why people don't sell cars on eBay with a certified copy of a PrePurchase Inspection as a part of the ad. They don't cost that much. Otherwise, it could be a "pig in a poke." Otherwise, how would you really know what it's worth from a distance? Fotos don't show you broken synchros or a loose Torque Tube, worn valves, etc.

BTW, the color reminds me of a woman I used to know.

Felsengrünmetallic is one of the nicest colors ever available on the 928. It is a greenish grey metallic, or greyisch green metallic, depending on how you look at it. Combined with a greygreen interior, or greygreen with linen, it looks awesome!

The English name is granite green metallic.

Nicole;

How does that differ from Rock Green? Any idea?

Here's my Felsengruen shark:



The light doesn't capture the light green properly... it's has a grey/green dash with linen seats and door panel inserts. The seats also have grey/green piping.

Soon to have aero mirrors and a rear wing painted to match. Still debating the clear lenses.....

Granite Green = Rock Green - I think it all depends on who's doing the translating at the time...
