the box full of parts is an extra steering wheel and full wiring from another 928,including fuse box,,cpu brains ect..the stuff in the back of the truck is an extra rear hatch ,,windsheild,,side glass,,door panels,,and a bunch of other plastic interior parts,,,in the back of the car is,,extra head light buckets,,side mirrors,,brand new water pump,,rear window trim(along with a bunch of extra window trim) and a bunch of other misc parts

mind you this will be a track/custom 928,,so the fact that the interior aint pretty doesnt bother me,,,
ive got him down to 3800$

p.s,,,can anyone identify what the toggle switch under the hood is connected to??

Jaymz -
That toggle switch is hooked directly to the POS terminal. U need to see where the other end goes! I would guess - some sort of poor man's theft deterrent - cutoff.

$3800 seems QUITE HIGH for this car! Others may chime in with their own opinions.

For that kind of $ - I'll sell you my own (incomplete - barely started) track project. '79 EURO 5spd, already stripped and complete with an EXCELLENT CONDITION '85 EURO (310hp) engine.

$3800 for that! You must be kidding. That looks like a parts car. I sold a running 79' euro(in better condition than that one) last year for $2,600. I would let that one go...

Did you mis-type? $380 is the range I would offer this guy.

$1,000 tops, that's even a stretch.

Jaymz,
$3800 WAY TOO HIGH... you can find a much better track car start for 1/4 of that, talk to Mark about the Turd

Jaymz...My project car is a '79 EURO I bought as a roller (no engine). It sat in a field in TX for several years so it needs a complete sand and paint. I have stripped most EVERYTHING off that is not 'necessary'...lights, interior, etc - GONE!. (IT will NEVER be street legal!!!). The '85 EURO engine has about 55k miles on it. It had JUST had a new TB/WP/Tune/Clutch put in when the PO got T-boned. I have all the 'brains' for the engine. I also have a set of Koni/Eibach coilovers (internal adj) for it as well as a rebuilt PS rack! So it 'needs' to be put together, add a roll bar, exhaust, wide wheels and tires (comes with a set of slot wheels to roll around on) and RACED! $3995 for the WHOLE SHOOTING MATCH. $3500 without the coilovers and steering rack.
The engine alone is easily worth $3k...the coilovers $500 and the rack another couple of hundred - so it's like getting the car for free!!
If you are interested - PM me. I really wanted to get it going, but I just have TOOOOO many things going on to be able to give it the time.

That car will require a lot of hours and $ to get to where you want it.

If you can get it for under 1k, you have some mechanical and electrical (especially electrical!!!) skils, are willing to put in another 5-10K and many many hours then maybe consider it.

Somebody once told me "God gave you two feet to walk away from a bad deal."

You are offered nothing but an expensive nightmare - as sad as it is. While Hacker's suggestion is probably more realistic, I think the buyer should be paid for putting up with something like this. There's nothing worse than incomplete projects...

Jay, Don't do it man. 3800 can get you a beast already in good start up shape. Man think it through.
