Shipping from California to Florida ...seems a bit like shipping sand to the beach..... way too much to invest in an unknown car...these old 928s you need to see and drive before you buy.

(I'd like the vin for my records please)
it wouldn't happen to be this one is it?

Nope, not that one.I'll post up the vin as I continue doing my research.
I'm not sure how bad I want this thing, I've already got a carrera rs build going on. Just thinking of options, drive it, part it, etc.

The PPI is happening when he gets back, at 31K documented miles and maintained its a good bet... lets see what the PPI discovers. Its the last step.

Parting it out is really not much of an option....you would be lucky to sell enough to pay for the shipping to you....with no allowance for the time and effort taking it apart. If the odometer reads in miles it was changed when imported....
