Any possibility to share it as raw data with all option codes included?

I have a very original down to the radio 81 928S with approximately 54k miles. White with black leather, no sun roof (gives you a lot more head room) and 5 speed. Brushed aluminum rims. All service records. 3rd owner. PM for details. Andrew

Thanks! Hey, is there a local mechanic you can recommend - I want to replace the timing belt as it is that time!

Greg Brown is one of the best 928 mechanics on the planet. He's in Anaheim I believe. Someone here would have his number. I cannot remember his company's name at the moment either, I've not had enough coffee yet. He's posted here recently in the Stroker thread too, so you could send him a pm.

That must be a backgorund you added to the picture because the lighting on the car doesn't chive with the apparent natural light in the background. Car looks like it has studio lighting on it due to the soft shadows under it and gleaming reflection on the hood and windshield and overall even lighting from every angle on the car. BUT, it does look very good and is definitely a professional job. I would use that picture and more like it when you place the listing to sell the car.

Now back to topic: how much do you want for your car?

Actually, the driver's side window tells the story.
But aside from that, nice picture indeed.

Yes, I love the picture. The 928 is actually in front of a picture that is draped over the side of a building which makes a great backdrop.

You can get ANYTHING into the USA! Go through the Regitered Importer in Houston Wallace Environmental Test Labs and send them a check for about $15k and they will have your car finished and back to you in about 4 months (depending on how busy they are)...they did my '92 Euro GTS and a friends '95 Euro GTS... Mine was in 2000 the '95 came over in '03 or early '04...

Ive been down that road many times with Ferrari's and many other very high end Exotics. 4 months sounds very short. EPA DOT ( import department) are understaffed and underfunded, so getting any car into the US converted and ending up with a bond release letter from DOT and EPA will take way too long. The worse part is the conversion companies ( only a few left ) have you by the gonads. The car you import could potentially sit there for years if you are not dealing with reputable people. DOT EPA have no sympathy for anyone. ( ask Bill Gates ) Wallace international is as bad as anyone else. I would NEVER advise anyone to import a Euro car into the US unless you really know what you are doing. These so called importers are all Scumbags! ( I have extensive experience in this area ) If anyone is actually thinking of doing so, you may want to contact me First. I have valuable information and direct phone numbers to the tippy top of EPA and DOT. If your car only took 4 months, I would say you were either full of it, someone cut corners, or you are the MAN! Congrats.
