Cool, love that Pascha interior!

Should we call this one "Kermit's cousin" or something?

How many more of these are hidden away, waiting to pop up one day?

This is practically a time capsule… I can't believe this hasn't sold already!

It's still available.

Edit: It was his dads car, he inherited 2 cars.
One is an SL500 (98 if I remember right) and this 928
Belts were apparently done 5 years ago

Can't get this car out of my mind. Someone buy it and put me out of my misery!
Owner says his dad purchased new from Vasek Polak and it was CA car until move to AZ.
Seems to me the car is special, regardless of the mileage. I have never see such a basic 928. No sunroof, 5 speed, vinyl/pasha upholstery. I wonder if it has any options at all. Thinking the 16" phone dials might even be standard on a 5 speed.

Yes 16" were standard on a 5 speed. Mine is as basic as this one is but this one is in much better shape. I'm not sure if pascha was a standard option or an upgrade. I would think all vinyl would be standard, but the various cloth options could be no-extra-cost "options".

Hey, what's wrong with the shifter? It's a little tall, but I love mine

Yep. This is the simplist one I've owned. No power seats, no rear air, very few things to break, nice and light, and with exhaust mods, cat/air pump delete, etc, that "little" 4.5 takes off quite nicely. It's so much easier to work on too.

Randy,

I agree with you...it is almost as tall as a rally car shifter from a few years back...of course those were sequential and positioned like that to keep them close to the steering wheel and they barely moved... early 928 shifters are like rowing a boat! Another good reason to go with the far superior Rogerbox! LOL!

Every time I see an early shifter, I'm reminded of this:
