Wow! That interior has definitely seen better days. The dashboard and pod are particularly interesting.

Yeah--I think the Buy It Now is high considering the condition, miles and whatever the hell that coating is on the front of the car....but you do get new tires with it LOL.

Shop manuals too! I really would like to see if someone could take a look. If it's a good "driver" I can work the rest out.

I'm "vacationing" this week in Pittsburgh, but it turns out that Palmyra is a lot closer to the eastern end than the western area. Anybody near there willing to look for Jon B?

This one is closer to a "ready by spring" project than the one in Waxa-nowhere, Texas. Still plenty to do on it, but a lot depends on how 'new' it needs to be when you are done.

This car looks like a better deal to me:

http://newjersey.craigslist.org/cto/2170550731.html

I posted this previously in the manual transmission conversion thread, so I apologize to those who have already seen this. I have no affiliation with the sale, but it seems like a good price for an 89 5spd S4.

I agree that this car may be a better choice. Who is near Jersey?

Thanks for the thought Dr. Bob!

This car is about 50min from my home. I'd like to help you if I can, but will admit that I am a 928 newbie (owned mine since Dec. 23rd). No way I could make it there on a weekday during daylight hours though, so weekends would be best. It appears to be at a shop which may or may not be open weekends.

I would appreciate it! Do you know what to look for and what questions to ask? You say your kinda new to 928s I figured I'd ask. I have still not heard from the seller however.

I am a noob...just one month with the 928 so far (most of it the car has been parked since we've had snow on the ground since Dec 26th).

Ha, fair enough! I've contacted the seller and will be on the phone with him a little later. I'll let you know what is going on. If you can look this weekend, or possibly one evening during the week that should work.
