Rare AWD 928s4 available in Iowa? WTF?
This caught my eye today 
I contacted the seller to inquire about the "AWD" 
Best,

"This is a very nice original 928 all wheel drive."
I think this might be a grammatical error. They tried to say" It drives and still has all wheels...
"This car will not last long at this price."
Sure, if it's a cheap aftermarket conversion, it will break pretty quickly....

Sorry, no prize winner yet (see https://rennlist.com/forums/928-forum/173340-4x4-928-a.html for what you COULD have won - damn, what am I going to do with this thing?). If only you'd found the following 6 cylinder, front-wheel drive 928, then you could'a been a contender:

It's also the rare 928 54 model.

Obviously, the dealer does not know anything about Porsche 928's. He must think the S4 at the end means 4 wheel drive. There are some real rocket scientists in the car dealership business.
As for that 6 cylinder, front wheel drive 928? That guy knows a little bit. He knows Porsches are 6 cylinders (911s) and since he saw the engine in the front, must have assumed it was front wheel drive. Another rocket scientist no less.

I bet the car has 2 wheels ... the rear ones, and for the pic the sneaky dealer put them both onto the driver's side. But he'll swap them back and this gem will once again be an AWD

Hey don't laugh - At the gas station the other day the owner of a carrera 4 asked me if my car wasa 4 wheel drive - "isn't that what the S4 means" says he?
I just shook my head and said no.....of course not......

I love the front wheel drive 6-cylinder 928....and the rare 928 54 model....LOL!!!
Listing typos are quite enjoyable, eh?
Tim
ps.
I still get guys that come up to me at service stations and red lights asking if I'm running an LT-1 engine in my GERMAN car. I just smile and say...NO.

Funny..........
I get asked all the time if my S4 is 4wd... funny thing is, on quite a few occasions while filling gas, it has been from 996 and Boxster drivers... The other question is how old is it... Then their jaws drop when they hear it's (now) 18years old... Then I tell them it has a bazillion miles, is driven daily, and they freak 'cause they have garage queens... Then I mention oh, by the way, it also goes to the track, and then I get the you're nuts look... Just in time to get in and drive off while they pick up their jaws from the pavement..

I used to be soooo disgusted at the way Americans treat their Porsches. Where I come from they are ULTRA-EXPENSIVE. But .... I have come to understand that the Americans treat their Porsches (well, many of them) like Germans do. DAILY DRIVERS!!
I love it, and I've been doing that since coming here too
