Going to take a lot of work but if everything is as it looks in that picture, might be a good one to grab.

Service record shows t-belt in 1993 with 42,000 miles. Now has about 90,000 and will not run turns over ok.....right like it has NO COMPRESSION ! seldom do cars just get parked but who knows sometimes you get lucky, sometimes not.
After all how much could it cost to restore it ???

Since it has not run in 10 years I would expect it to go for salvage price since you have to figure a new engine. I reallly thought about 3500 should buy it but it looks like it is already there.

If any one is serious, this car is pretty close to me. I could take a peek at it, but I am pretty busy this weekend and have jury duty next week.

Yep, adds up pretty quick doesn't it. I wish some people knew this before buying one only to later end up as a parts car....

Driver side door jamb or build sticker in the trunk.

I don't know. Jury selection has already started. Will find out on Monday. As much as I think it would be cool to hear his case, he's such an arrogant ***, I don't think I could be impartial.

The car sold on Ebay for close to $4300. The seller said they have recieved the down payment. I guess if someone is giving $4300 for a car that has not been run in 10 years the 928 market is getting better. AO looked at the car and sent some great pics. There was a lot wrong with the car that was not divulged in the listing but I guess buyer beware. $3500 would have been a fair price and really not a great deal at that price but it had a lot of good parts that I wanted for mine. If the engine was still good I would not have parted the car out, my plan was to make my car nicer and make that one into a daily driver car.
