Default Nice Looking 1985 on LACL - $3,600

Even though the seats don't look 928 original (????/Porsche), it is an auto, and based on the limited description and the tiny CL pics, this looks like a nice car. http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv...577720547.html No affiliation.

Tough for me to tell from the pic. You are probably right. Either way, looks like a nice car.

It is the regular late model seat. You can even see the seam at the shoulder level between the side bolster and the headrest. I think it is something about the pic that makes the seats look at little narrow that is throwing you off. Also the early seats (like you have in your car) are a bit wider or at least LOOK a bit wider than these late seats.

GOOD CALL! Someone needs to JUMP ON THIS CAR...IT IS A EURO! Look at the rear...fog light, no bumperettes and EURO front marker behind the front wheels... if this car still have its Euro 4.7 motor, this could be the buy of a lifetime!!!! If I were employed I would have already called and probably bought this car! OMG!

Not sure what all that means, but it does not surprise me to much that a Euro car would/could have a hard time meeting CARB specs. Looks like it had a few problems in a few of the years. I bet it would not have much problem in TX...

Yea, I NEED an '85!!

P is pass
A is abort
F is fail

Passing more than once in two years usually means it was sold.
