I'm going to look at this after church this morning...

 

Let us know how she looks.

 

it is beautiful looking, but why does the cross brace look like it's been off about 100 times? For a 9800 mile car, it ought to look perfect.

 

very nice car...
but same with the driver seat. Its is in great condition but at 9800 miles it really should not show any heavy deep creasing at all?

The cross brace does need an explanation.

 

I wouldn't get to interested in this one if you're looking for a concours condition car. It's missing the VIN tag on the drivers side fender. And that's probably not the end of other issues as well. The cross brace was probably scraped up in the accident, just to mention one more...

No one home when I went by.

I had never heard of this dealer before so I looked them up. I found their site:

They do say on their site that showing is by appointment only, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised they weren't there. And I think that the storage facility is at a different location than the office, as there are no buildings apparent in that location that match the Quonset architecture you see in the photo. But to look at their inventory and/or storage clients, this is very high end. I've sent them an email and will look forward to seeing this car and the others they have there. I believe I've seen one or two of their storage clients at the local Cars & Coffee (the Alpha in particular).

In the meantime I'll be making a list of the issues you're all bringing up here.

 

"Autobahn bomber"; I like that, best one I heard so far....

 

It has some corrosion in the engine bay, maybe thats why the cross brace has some paint chipping off, but that doesnt explain the missing vin number tag. Look at the cross brace bolts and see if they are damaged, sometimes their so tight that when you use the allen key to undo them, the hex shaped hole gets distorted.

 

The vin stickers can fall off over time........just look for the bumpers vin sticker....if that one is still there, chances are the fender is original too....its hard to damage "only" the fender in an accident....

I also agree with corrosion could cause the paint flaking off the cross brace...but thats super easy to repaint too..... The color of the intake and cam covers looks quite good.....which makes sense for a 10k car

 

I'm gonna disagree with this one. I've seen many a 928 with just one fender repainted for whatever reason. Most likely a minor accident, but I'll guarantee that the original fender is long gone. VIN tags may fall off of a higher mileage car over time (still a rare occurance), but not on a 9800 mile car. That being said, I would still agree that the mileage is accurate on this particular 928.

Sounds like he has a license to sell. I also am curious why the car was here in New York and ended up in California...seems like there might be some stories to this car...

 

Wow that car was made just before my yellow car I have 1599.
I seem to have all of my VIN stickers as well on both front and rear PU covers and the engine and the trans plus hood and both fenders.
Note I have 110K miles on my car.
It could be possible that the Left fender sticker fell off

 

Car was purchased from a Manhattan (NYC) collector I am told. Checking records for TB/WP-if ever.
