The wing is missing cause the car is on the way to paint.

Going to a 315/30/18 tire so don't make fun of the stretched 295s

Yeah on the GT part, seams like I always pay collector price, but it is a high mile car 120,000 so will it ever be that collectable? I bought for the konis cams, and gear ratio. And its RED

This is my 69 Camaro

Supercharger in a box also

Finally took the plunge into the motor. I will just leave it at "its getting everything"

Got my wheels back last night from the painter. Only took 3 months.

Please, don't modify the rear fenders!

There were not so many '89 GT's made.

What is the VIN of your car?

It's an 89 GT. To some of us, the miles just don't matter when you're talking about one of these rare beasts. Have fun. You bastage...

Mine has over 200K on it..and more every year... I do/did mod it....but nothing that can't be brought back to stock easily. The 89GT is one of the rarest of 928's..and in the long term...mileage won't matter....originality will..

If it makes anyone feel better, the car was almost parted out before I bought it.

Another reason to "save" it. I just looked at your "high" miles....lol...120,000.... That's the mileage I bought mine at over 10 years ago. Only 109 ish of these out there. Only the Club Sports, SE's (England only), and 5sp GTS were more rare (Erkka..???)

If you get it back to stock solid running condition, it will always have a premium over the 895sp or later GTs (90/91)...

If you want to mod the 928..find a 87 or 88 5sp....and go to town. I bet there are 87/88 5sp owners that would be willing to swap

It is your car, money and time, but as usual, I advice to do modifications that can be reversed only.

First, you can change your mind.
Second, if you want to sell the car, you will certainly find buyers that don't share your taste.

By the way, red is fine for a 928

I have a 90 GT and also recommend not doing serious mods. However 1/4 panels can be returned to stock looking at the right hands. Many years ago I bought a 70 brown chevelle with a blown motor and fancy chrome rims from a mexican guy. I looked it over and bought it cheap. Moral of the story I have a numbers matching 454 LS6. Who would think a chevelle in the 80's was going to be worth money.

Well not alot has happened since I took on this project. Amazing how so many other things get in the way.

Motor had to come out. It was just to grease covered to get clean.

It will be worth a lot. Well a lot based on what this car is. My guess is mine when I am finished will be worth 20k to 25k to the right buyer. It is a 90 with 230,000km on it.

You pulled the motor to clean it?!?! That is ambitious. In my opinion only someone who wants maximum value in the car would do that. If you want maximum value don't flare the fenders. But that IMHO.....
