For those interested, this site says a kidney is worth about $70k-$80k, but you will probably have to pay tax on that, but consult with your CPA before you take my word.

Nice car and GLWS
I would have painted the cross brace black since the rest of the engine bay looks original ,I think the red detracts from the overall picture.

And I dont know how you did it, but the air cleaner looks like it is upside down?

I really like the rear arch extensions! Googled but could not find any sources for them... Anyone know where they might be available?

It's all a matter of perspective...

If I were in the market for one of the nicest 928s out there, I'd prefer it to come to me as 100% stock..
..except in this case. I know it's a matter of personal preference, but Chuck's taste when it comes to aesthetic modifications is top notch. He's always had the best eye for what makes these cars look as nice as they can possibly look. Even in his photos....I've never seen a 928 look so good as in the feature picture of this listing. The best angle and the GTS lines are captured. The fact that all of the original equipment has been preserved and goes with the car, all of his personal touches/improvements to this car only add value IMO.

BTW, this "Autocheck" scoring method in which a beaten Accord with 75k city miles but only 1 owner outscores an example like this?....absurd. This should be a 102:

Chucks reserve is a steal for one of the most beautiful, pristine, rare and iconic 928s out there.

You can't cash AutoChecks!

Chuck's cars are among the few I would be comfortable buying sight unseen with no PPI. GLWS!

I would like to know specifics on the ceramic tint - brand, series, and darkness. I need to do mine and like the look Chuck has created, not too dark. As others have stated, he has a keen eye for enhancing the look of his cars.

Not a penny over $60K. One of the three collars on the intake control cables is missing. It is an orange cone; I have circled one in the pic. The cable above it is missing the collar. Tsk. Tsk. PET doesn't id the cone, I guess you have to replace the entire cable to get this.

I think his is the coolest ad I've read for a 928, bar none.

"13,200 miles".

" the 2nd and 4th owner"

Here's another picture from SITM 2010.
No affiliation of course, just taken by the car...

Also note that the twist on this side turn into the rotation where the twist on the other side twist with the rotation. You know at high speeds this will create a rotational force about the Y axis.... right Tony?

A good photographer must always consider what is being reflected in the picture.
