Hopefully not an Enzo. Looks decent in the pictures, might be worth checking out:

I have no interest in the vehicle, yadda, yadda, yadda...

Thats my hometown...cool. I have family there that might be willing to check it out but none are mechanically inclined. Sure they could recommend a good mechanic though.

Just referenced the factory WSM. It lists Talbot Yellow, paint code 106, as a standard color for 1978. Could be original paint?

The photos aren't very good, but even so I would think significant defects should be apparent. If I were nearby, I'd go check it out just for fun.

EDIT: Googled Talbot Yellow. Couldn't find a 928 in the color, but did find this 1976 911 Targa. Appears to be the same color, so I guess it's possible it could be original paint.

Ron, you better get there before Kiesan does.

In the picture of the back seats, what's in the front part of the storage compartment?

Not sure...I have the a/c unit there so I am not familiar with the ob's. Sent an e-mail to my B-inlaw and my dad should be home tomorrow so I can ask him about the dealer. He is retired and lives very close to the place. I am sure he will stop by and give it a look for me.

You mean the rear ashtray?

I haven't seen too many of them, but I have a Talbot Yellow '79.

Here's what the interior looks like. It's one of the better looking Pasha interiors, IMO.

Out of my financial means right now...was going to have it looked at for the group. Price seems kind of high.

Doesn't have the Pasha according to the photos in the ad.

Has an S front spoiler partially adapted to the front cover with out the brake ducts...means they drilled holes in the fenders.

Just as an FYI, my father is going to check out this car in the next couple days. He is very picky like me and will give a good idea of how well kept it appears to be. I'll post when I hear back from him.

My father went by and looked at the car today. Says the interior is in good shape, paint is a bit dingy, wasn't shiny and had some rashing behind the rear wheels. Says odo said 54k, no dings or damage on panels. It is owned by one of the dealership owners. He said there was no one around to answer questions when he went in. He gave it an 8-10 for a 30 year old car. He is pretty picky when it comes to cars so it must be in decent shape. Hope this helps someone.

It is interesting that it has that S front spoiler, but none on the rear... hmmm. Wonder what that is about?
