Hi Guys.

It is a nice car. The paint was dont to customer specs. The stripes look nice as they are a copper pearl based ghost stipe and work nicely in the sunlight for a slight color change. We recommended silver borders, but it is the customer's choice. I suspect it runs nicer than most of the 928's out there, but for that amount of dough, it should. I don't know where the horespower number came from , but it is a VERY strong running car. Nicely serviced and I believe that he has the capacity to sell it and buy a GTS like he talked about next year. He makes good cha'ching. Were the gills out idea? No, but again we do what the customer likes and wants done. Mechanically it is solid as a rock. Check it out and drive it if you get a chance. I might even bid on it.....

Take care.

Exactly my thinking. When the downturn of the economy happened, we saw quite a few sharks being sold under pressure. All it did was draw the price down; the owners probably have a lot of sellers remorse now. Buying and selling cars is rarely profitable, and a very short term cash benefit. Besides - at least in CA - you pay sales tax every time you register a vehicle in your name for the first time... Another 8.75% loss!

Ooh - cork interior!

Damn shame about those stripes, though...if the owner is in the Armed Forces, I'd'a thought the drug screenings would have prevented that...

Yes I to saw this car down at Motorsport, they did a great job on that car. It is definetly to bad
about those damb stripes. The car looked killer before that happened, but If someone wants a
up to date 928 that is not really to bad looking. The work is definitely top notch both on the
paint and the freshening up of the motor etc. I personally hope it goes to a good home it is one
of the cleaner 928. Job well done Motorsport!!!!!!!!!

Nope...

In 1990 there was no cork anymore. Since the dash is not leather, but matches the interior, I think this is "mahogany". They also had a special leather "Caramel" that year, and it seems very close in color, just a little lighter.
