Supercharged 1985 32v 928 for sale (again)
This is the same car I posted for a customer a month ago.
Here is the last eBay description:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...043014049&rd=1
The short story: Thisis not my car, but uit has been here for 2 years now so it darn well feels like it. The owner, in Italy, bought it on eBay and had it shipped to me with a long list of things he wanted done to it.
Supercharging, wide body kit, suspension upgrades, exhaust upgrades - the lot.
His list, however, out-stretched his wallet a little bit and about mid-way thru the project he ran out of money. The supercharging and suspension and exhaust mods are all donwe, but we stopped short of the body work.
I had it sold last week for $7400 cash (consider the owner dropped almost $11,000 on us alone not including whatever he paid for it) and I was going to the airport to pick up the new owner when he called and said his wife pitched a hissy-fit and denied him the joy.
So, now I got it for sale again. The owner has authorised me to blow it out for the first $6,500 cash.
I thought I'd let you guys know about it first before I put it on eBay later this week.
I drive it once a week to keep it fresh and it starts and runs great. Its a nice ride. Right now, you could fly in and drive it home and I would not hesitate to drive it to So Cal if needs be. It'll make it easilly.
The ebay ad says the AC does not work and the odometer does. Thats just the opposite of reality - the AC works good - the odometer doesn't. The speedo tach, all gauges work fine. The odometer did work when the car got here, so the miles are still very close to actual. I figure the problem is the usual white plastic gear failure.
If you are interested - I can tell you more about it at 920-485-0928.
I'll relist it on Friday if I do not hear from any Rennlisters first. I just would rather it go to someone who knows what they are doing than a rookie 928 owner.

I've sunk more than that into mine and it's still NA. CRAP. Looks like JB is on it though. Good job JB, and good luck!
On a side note, I don't know which is worse. Having your wife throw a hissy fit and changing your plans to buy a car, or actually admitting it? Sheesh.

I'm really glad a 928 lover got it. He already has an '82 - and understands window switch and odometer gear failures and knows enough not to panic about them. She's in good hands and needs to be driven - looks like she will again now!
