probably had an old 928 International sticker on it when he purchased it and he assumed that was the model designation.

Maybe only he and Mark Anderson know. Or perhaps Christopher Walken in his SNL role as "the Continental" would be interested in the car. It would need two additional mods though, a passenger door that can't be unlocked from the inside and a wet bar stocked with "Champana"

ROFLMAO!!!


The only "International Edition" I'm aware of was the Cutlass International Edition...


The "Screaming Chicken" was only on the Tran-Am's, not the Camaro.

Maybe that was a special off road version built for Porsche by International Harvester?! LOL!

The sad part is someone who has no idea what they are getting into will actually buy it, and we will see a series of threads on here ( and others) asking for advise! We will, of course ( me included) , give that advise, and another 928 is saved.

"HonestMike" has quite the reach? One R-lister has gone and looked at the flat black car, as it was local to him. Maybe he can tell us if the guy is legit?

You'll all be glad to know that according to "HonestMike" our 928's are worth $40K when fixed up and they are perfect "candidates" for Barret Jackson auctions where they could fetch even MORE $.

Great news for all!!
