vote for 85 since 80 is not 300hp

I know the owner of the 80 and I've driven the car. It is a 5 speed, I don't know why someone here mentioned that it isn't. The Pascha is very nice. It is currently getting a new A/C compressor and hoses as well as a conversion to the R134. The seats are original. It has the earlier engine, not the 300HP engine.

Not really earlier type as it is different than engine used in '78-79 ROW cars. Different higher CR pistons etc. Also brakes are same as in ROW S if VIN is 0750 or larger.

I'm digging that '80. Love the seats in it.

Love both, the '85 looks new and perfect. The '80 Euro has federalized side markers and an aftermarket exhaust that looks terrible.

I called the interior of this 85 one of the best stock interiors when it was brought up before. There is no contest the 85 takes it. The lack of spoliers changes the whole feel to the 928, no love for the early ones, add the lack of power and a lot of other features (ABS, beams, Ball joints ?.....)and like I said no contest.

Newest looking stock interior equal to the philly car;






engine bay could use some detailing

Some markets required exhaust to point straight back. Exhaust might not be original but factory did something similar back then.

They're both very cool, but I'd choose the '85. Moar Pow'r!!

85 hands down!

Like asking would you take a 90 over my 85. Newer for me the [85].

finally!

Gotta tell you, I dig the one with the 930 sport seats! In fact a 1987-1989 930 will be my next car purchase after the new garage is built.Even contemplating selling my 2009 A4 so can get one sooner!

The one with a working air conditioner is cooler.
