Looks like a weissach interior color scheme painted on the outside. Come to think of it, it is an 82

So I just called the guy on this car. It is obvious he has no idea what hes doing with the car. Here is all the information that I got so far.

Guys name is James.

Racing seats
dashboard and interior doors have been redone but not installed
Automatic
States there is some steering problems. "Ball bearings in the steering column need replaced"
States it just got painted. ( )

He is going to text me the vin number and possibly some more pictures. Claims it runs and drives well and that a tune up had been done in the last year. But nothing else other than that. Probably a lot of maintenance that has been overlooked in the past years. I wasn't going to get too involved with him as I have no interest in the car myself. He kinda gave me some push back on giving me the vin number. But I assured him that no personal information can be gathered with it and that I'm a collector that wants it to verify the options that the car has and its history.

Someone posted a picture of this car while the owner was driving it a year ago. It looks worse than I thought, poor car.

This is when someone needs to show up with a nice, pristine 928 just to see the owners reaction....

AirtekHVAC, please post pictures of the interior and engine. Unfortunately, chances are unless you can find someone receptive to the color scheme, which is a very narrow market, you are looking at a car that needs a $5K paint job in order to be a $5K car. Sorry, man.

It's missing the OEM curb feelers. Sorry, that's a deal breaker.

It isn''t AirtekHVAC's car. He was just stating that he is the one that posted it to the pelican boards.

Oh and I never got a text back from the guy with the vin number.

I'd take the wheels, if they were local. And silver.
