Wonder where we can get a valve cover gasket on that one?

Can't tell as it's got baggy seat covers ... but maybe we need seats as well?

"Perfect condition" can mean many different things to different people. More pictures would be nice.

I'm pretty sure that's not the right speedometer for an '82.

The pictures are the quality what I expect from a CL ad, but IF I was asking $22,500, I would certainly be showing the interior off (uncover the seats for god's sake) and the nice brass plate that is affixed to a Weissach dash. How is it that you must have done tons of replacement work on a car this old, if as you say, all it needs is hood and hatch shocks and you just overlooked that little job???????

Those wheels look silver, which would be incorrect. Did the Weissach get a front spoiler? My 1982 doesn't have one. Also, that's the speedo my 82 has, but I would imagine a special edition would have the Competition group higher-number speedo. I don't know, seems fishy. Could just be a gold 82.

Obviously there's a little due diligence required. Perhaps the seat cover bags were put on to protect the original seats in original condition.

Meanwhile, a 5-speed Weissach-edition car in good shape is certainly worth at least a look. If it is immaculate/perfect with just the seller's short list of repairs due, there's potential to have a unique car.

But, and there is always a 'but', the car will almost undoubtedly need an end-to-end refurb just because of time. The infamous dr bob '$5k just for rubber bits' allowance gets added, then discounted for stuff that's actually been replaced in the last few years. Then the cosmetic and repair stuff gets added. Cam cover gaskets are almost a given for a car this age, and $60 for hatch and hood struts are in the noise, relatively. Getting a set of the plat wheels would be necessary for a serious resto project, so add those if the included wheels are plain manholes.

Keeping it to original is essential to maintaining any exclusive value with the Weissach designation. All the owner's paperwork needs to be there. Otherwise it's a potentially-nice low-miles $4k '82 gold 928 project.

Speedo is correct and the car did come with front and rear spoilers - first US car to do so.
The Weissach came with a certificate and badge from the factory - the dealer/owner chose where to put it or not to put it. There were also more than 205 made - currently up to 219 in my records.
