Moving the drivetrain from my '83 Euro with bent frame (thank you son) to an '83 US donor car.

A pleasant surprise a few years ago... my old continental orange find when i went to check out a "red" 78 928 about 50 miles from home:
Over time, we get the energy we put out.

These cars are supposed to sit in a Californian desert. Why hasn't anyone taken on the cars for renovation?

Because a complete restoration is a $60,000 proposition, if your labor cost is zero, and the cars in that picture are perhaps worth $60,000 if they were 10K mile survivors in perfect condition. The number of restoration shops doing it purely for the love is small.

Even the rarest and/or perfectly restored cars find that the serious and well funded collectors . . .

We live in a world where even a rare color GTS is discarded.
Some die so that others may live... The attrition has been tremendous.

Rob, I've seen so many talented men here on Rennlist who can most likely restore a 928 on their own. A very suitable job during dark cold winter evenings. Well, you in California have summer all year round.
