Default Twisted Euro Scratch and Dent Sale

This '79 Euro actually still runs and is occasionally started up.
The windshield survived the 130 MPH end over end crash and projection into the forest (as did the driver who walked away- he is a friend of mine). The damage that exists to the windshield now was caused by a tree limb that fell on it during the winter.

Parts anyone?

It's a manual transmission unit. I think the only thing salvageable is the drivetrain and the euro rear fog light. I am taking the front lights as they are the highbeam assist units.

The guy who owns it is doesn't want to look at it too much let alone handle any transactions regarding it so I am putting it out to you people on this list.

I still can't believe he flipped it end over end more than once, slalomed through some large trees and walked away from the crash. He said he was going so fast that certain parts of the car (like the roof) never even touched the ground while it was sailing through the atmosphere.

The interior is really shot by the way.

I'm not sure this one will buff right out, looks like the chassis might have gotten tweaked a bit.

Nice non-sunroof roof panel, though

I am saving the pics and the description of the accident. If anyone ever suspects the integrity of the engineering in a 928, I'll share this with them. Incredible. your friend is fortunate to be alive.

I can't believe it starts and runs.

I knew the V8 was torquey.
Just didn't realize it had this much torque.
