Default Picked up this 84 Euro 928s 5-speed this weekend

So far the AC is not working, and the seats do not move forward, but fresh intake refresh, a new radiator, and fresh paint. The synchros or the clutch in 1st and 2nd need attention also, but driveable.

Looks nice. Congratulations. From the pictures, I couldn't see green until I read the description. What is the color name? Enjoy!

They told me that the previous owner was into a restoration, and there are a ton of new parts on it. New alternator, new fuel lines and pump, new belts, hoses, fuel pressure regulator. etc. I am not sure of the name of the dark green color, but I will look. All the AC system has new parts, but it is still blowing hot air. I checked the heater valve, and the freeze switch so far. The expansion valve is new, as well as the drier.

That looks like a nice acquisition! Did the dealer understand that it is a Euro and the distinction between Euro/US?

Congrats!

They knew that it was a "grey market car", but they did not know much else about the car. After seeing that it was a Euro, and a 5-speed, I could not pass it up in the condition that it is in. Whomever painted it left off the side moldings and the license plate bracket, but no big deal. Most of us would see this as a valuable find, but I think that they saw it as a 28-year-old car with non-working AC.

Congrats! Looks like a lot of car for the money. I assume it still has the proper M28/21 motor. Looks like the seats might be from a later model. Love the color.

Thanks! Yes it still has the proper motor, and they told me that it has just been rebuilt. It has the dual distributors too. It runs like a scalded cat, and it is fast!

Looks like oak green or moss green if it's a factory color.

Nice looking car.

The window switches are amusing

The 84-86 "Euro" are the pick of the 16V cars!
