Default 79 euro FS in Ohio $3.5K

not mine, no affiliation, yada, yada. Just thought I'd pass it on as it looks interesting.
Strange mix of the green interior.

(Sidney Ohio is about halfway between Columbus and Fort Wayne, IN).

Fairly price, IMHO. The ad doesn't mention mileage, but in one of the photos it looks like 88,000?

Could be a nice car, or a nest of vipers. Still, a manual Euro. Always a good base, right?

Ooof, that steering wheel. What is that?

That's a stock steering wheel for a 79. Just looks like someone "installed" a hood badge in the middle.

All the cool 928's have the 3-spoke "sports" steering wheel.

It is a 79 Euro it is NOT a Euro S so no magic there. Also most grey market cars were converted from a kilometer speedometer and odometer to a MPH version so for all those they are True Miles Unknown...TMU add to that the common failure of the odo drive gears and it is hard to believe most of them The seats are later replacements but presumably are better than the originals.

ah, I didn't realize that, so it would be the ~237hp euro engine - it takes the S euro to get the 300hp beastie.
Suddenly getting outrun at a light by a honda minivan, this euro doesn't sound so appealing.
