Default OK, "Uncle"-- incredible car for sale.

At least, I think its incredible. From the pictures, at least.
Except for the floormats. And the Borla, or whatever that is under there.
After a couple of weeks of stewing about it, I need to face reality-- that I don't have the right stuff -- read $$ -- to even consider this car. It should go to a real enthusiast though, so I'm posting it for ya'll. No offense Rog, but someone better jump quick or it'll probably end up in Tx!

Drat...my favorite color..appears to have twin distributor so it must be a late '84, or it's mis-titled. Love that color...Sure it's overpriced for the 'regular' market...but, ever seen one like it? I mean c'mon. Nice Griffith on the site too.




I dunno whether its still active/available, but URL is: Nice Euro at dealer

Of course, no affiliation..

Wow & Wow.
What a beautiful car - to much money for my blood - but might be OK for someone.
The Borla is a plus to me BTW.
Thanks for posting.

I don't think I have seen a better dash than that one. Paint is great too. It escaped the side marker additions also. With some new wide wheels and a champagne sportseat set in burgundy(don't like white) it will be hot.


Edit: I have never seen seat cushion pattern like that, aftermarket? it could pass on the numbers if tuned right, but is an O2 sensor required even if it can't use one?

84 Euro's are very fast! Very nice color, but the price is too rich for my blood.

Default Rear bumper

I notice the rear bumper on the car has a fog light. Is this bumper rare?

I do have one in black that I am not going to use. I might consider selling it.

I have not seen many cars with these on.

Hacker just bought a nice white car from Florida that had been involved in a fire for a LOT LESS MONEY!

Admittedly, it's a fixer upper but prices are going to go up. If you average the prices of the two cars, you get a median value.

Looks really clean and well cared for. I think the seats are out of a 911, the stitched pattern matches the early 911's and there is no power at all. I think all 928 sport seats had at least some power (up/down for front and rear). I hope he gets his price or at least close.

But you have to admit, if you want a pristine 928, they're absolutly still available. Just ain't cheap (most the time).
