Those are Testarossa strakes and they add about $40,000.00 to the value of any car.

If he chased, and caught him, the car must not be that fast...

Are those custom Fuchs? They almost make up for the kitchenware on the doors.

I think DP actually made those functional brake cooling ducts.

. . . but if you're not interested in this car, there's a one-owner 928 DP for sale for $39,900.



edit: Homa's a lucky guy. He's the original owner of another DP 928 for sale!

It's a small community.
Though I am a fan of white it doesn't do this car justice.

In Germany, from Germany, back to Germany for DP kit, one owner, from an electric business; one eye, heart attack, divorce......

I've seen this white "THING" before a few times on ebay...In my opinion, this car does not exist!

I noticed the same thing. But I think the car exists. Of course I also believe that Sasquatch live in Northern California. If this guy truly lost an eye, had a heart attack and had a divorce... I hope he gets the $50,000 that he's asking ( actually more if you take the reserve into consideration). He must need it. Poor fella.

The one thing that makes me wonder the most is this. According to Mark Robinsons posts here and on the linked forums above, this was a US spec car that was purchased and driven in Germany. Why on earth would you buy a US spec car if you lived in Europe? It seems to me that it would be counterproductive to buy the US spec car and then spend all that time massaging the engine to get max HP. Maybe I'm missing something.

Ebay ad says this 84 DP has AntiLock Brakes and an Airbag too...Not evident in the photos though...must be discreet installed at this price !
