hmm, well that answers that question about S4 trim on older sharks. Someone must have bought it from the other guy and threw a trans in it. Decent looking 928 none the less.

Someone is going to get a nice car with some assembly required. Heck if I was close I'd grab it. Bummer for the seller.

Default Engine bat filth....

I contacted the original seller on this car, and nearly drove it last week and nearly purchased this car ....

The advice I received from local contacts was "run away"!! The body kit, so so paint and ugly steering wheel was a minor problem, but the filth in the engine bay is a major indication that this car has not been cared for in some time...

The funny thing is that I happen to have a spare 84 euro automatic transmission sitting in my garage right now...

Dare me to buy it.....?!?

It is only bid to $560.... the repair shop would probably install your spare trans for $500-600 and you could drive it home !

Evozine, If you really have a tranny, this could be a score! Might make one hell of a track car. Carlsbad, isn't that far.
