On a serious note we need to contact Marc and Lucky to make sure they know about this. If anyone should get it, it should be one of those guys, or at least let them have first chance at it.

The phone numbers I have for both of them has changed, anyone got current contact #s call them or please PM me and I will call them.

Best pictures I've ever seen of it. All the old ones are small grainy pics.

Pretty cool...

Buy this, drop in one of Greg's motors, Mike Simard's 7 liter or have K-Moss produce another one of their engines......sweet Jesus that would be awesome.

Or add boost to any one of the above and go chasing prototypes

I don't think you need another engine. That car was supposed to have over 700 hp. Of all the unique, one off or interesting history 928's out there this would be the one I would most like to own. Some incredible history and development. We should start trying to guess what it will fetch.
