"Air (Still Cold)" must be referring to Michigan winter because the car does not run.

If someone really wants an old 5 speed car, my 80 is for sale as well. I'd be more than happy to take 2k for it. I'm already into it for 3k and it needs to go now that I have the 84.

yes please explain your intentions, if you have a 80 928 that is manual and you want to sell for 2K speak up and I am listening.

The short story is I bought the car a couple of years ago off EBay. It does not run, and it needs painted. I hadn't planned on selling it until I got it running/driving later this summer. It's white, with a sunroof, no rub strips, leather dash and center console. I figure with it running, it might be worth 2k. Probably not as it sits, but I thought I would offer it up to see if anyone was interested.
