Geez, it's in Laredo down in the Valley.

Take it for what it's worth, IMHO probably a non-American's car. Mine's an identical 1984 - two days after being bought new in Dallas it crossed the border to Mexico for the next ten years of it's life then somehow made it's way back to Central Texas. At least that what the Carfax said.

Haven't ever found anything in any of the cubbyholes, though.

I would want a believable explanation of why only 16,642 miles in 26 years on such a beautiful car.

It probably has the "competition package" that included the S spoilers. The S wasn't available until '82.
I have seen those seats in the early cars, I like them better than the other early 928 seats. They seem to hold up better as well.

As Erkka says thats the Competition package with S spoilers and sports seats, 16" wheels and LSD IIRC.
I have a customer in Austin hot for this car so be ready for the bidding.
I want to know why a new gas tank and now he says the ODO is playing up.
16K may be a question mark - however it is low miles by the overall condition.
