Can you tell from the vin that it is a Euro or Euro S ?? I know it is an euro fro sure because of the German dash, rear fog light, etc. The owner told me there was a 928S badge and they took to paint the car and never put them back. I thought 1980 euro doesn't have S model ??
Thank you.
Thank you.

Leon, there were 4.5L Euro models and 4.7L S Euro models. The code on the engine will tell the REAL story to HP...
You might think about looking a the 928 DVD thread...lots of great info in that DVD that might help you some... shameless plug I know... LOL!

Went to check out a 1980 928 Euro yesterday and put down a deposit. Car will be deliver tomorrow afternoon. Very exciting about the purchase for Black Friday 
There are some works need to be done in the interior, seats are torn, dash crack, door panel worn out. Other than that, exterior has fresh paint job (3-4 years), engine runs great, cranks right up and get down the road fast even with auto (I know) Can't wait to get it and start to turn it into a beauty, then into a shark Glad to be part of the Porsche & Rennlist member/family. Glad to be able to drive one of my childhood dream car at last.
Best regards,
Leon L.

Thanks for all the info. I will look at the engine code when I got it tomorrow. I just ordered a pair of front seats to replace them. At least it is more presentable Pictures coming soon.
Pictures coming soon.

A fellow member at the local Porsche club has a pair of Corbeau for sale. It is from a 1995 911 I think, and should bolt right on. I will keep the stock one to reupholster later or maybe find another stock pair. The current seat is so torn out that it makes the car looks dated and worn. Once I get the dash and door panel re-covered, it should good to go.
Thanks.
Thanks.
