They don't call them "grey" market for nothing, it's all one big grey area.

#21 would make a nice jewel of any 928 collection.


The other one under discussion, the "never can be titled" 928, reminds me of two things:

1) that stolen '68 Corvette that made the news by being recovered recently - it had sat in someone's collection without plates for 35 years.

2) Bill Gate's new 959 languishing in a shipping crate in an L.A. US Customs warehouse for many years. Maybe someone snuck that 928 over the border, eh?

 

Could be stolen, could be a snuck in euro, could be a wreck rebuilt US with euro parts, could be any combination of these things, could be the seller was a victim and still doesnt know it......anyone run a carfax on it?

the 78 is up to $2550 reserve not met


I dont need another one, I dont need another one, I dont need another one......

 

the 80 - 82 non-S euros are different from the US cars. Different engine (M28/09 - 10). 10:1 CR, double valve springs, different heads and more...

the 78 - 79 are almost the same, though

 

I don't remember the '78 having a sunroof. What year is itn really?

 

How come the interior and exterior were inspected, but the mechanics section is N/A?

 

sunroof delete option was more common in early cars, probably a third of 78-79 were NS
not sure why there is no mention of mechanics inspection, they probably don't know enough about the cars to give a good inspection and therefore don't mention it so not to put themselves in a situation where they are liable

 

Federalized cars have a tag on the door jamb with information about who did it, etc.

 

not always, depends on who did the federalization
prior to the mid 80's there were no definative guidelines on federalization, this is why some early Euros still have 8" lights, no rear bumperettes, and even still have the km clusters.... post 83 or 84 (IIRC) the guidelines became specific

 

Bill Gates's 959 is street legal and for sale right now. $430,000 I think.

Rixter, what's the deal with #21? It looks US, but he says Euro. I didn't think any of the really low SNs were US.

I love the interior even though it is very strange... brown, tan, cream, blue pascha all in a red car.

 

there were double vins for 78-79, so there are low # Euro and US cars, I've identified 2 sets of 78 "twins" still on the road

the seats are actually green op art

 

This one is a US model though, right?

farther down in the description they show NADA value as $12000, surely they dont expect to get that much do they?
