Vin is wp0zzz92zes841479, the letter O is not used.
Googled wpozzz92zes841479 and found old Rennlist thread from 2010 about starting issues, and used correct vin to find Calif smog history.
In the RL thread the owner seems to be getting the 5.0L from the import sticker, which means nothing and had trouble finding the motor ID. Owner also sounds like a kid, talks about working on his Subaru etc.

Awesome looking car.....looks just like mine :-), except that one has a little bit better interior.
I agree...too many questions, when you get a bad vibe, time to walk away. Too many expensive variables in the equation.

This man is 56 and has owned for 6 months, never registering it for some reason. I asked why and he mocked the question.
When a Seller acts hesitant but is really wanting badly to sell, thinking he is smarter than the potential buyer in that regard (mind games) I am out at that point. It's probably a decent car though. His wife is an MD and they have plenty of $ so i am guessing it's nice enough, he is simply not a true enthusiast. He put twists on it recently. Interior has seen a lot of sun, not as nice as it seems. seat pics never show driver bolster, typical.
The motor look pretty sweet to my eyes though so a bit of a letdown until I talked with the people at WebCams.
Having them grind a set Euro S2 Cams for my beloved 1983S.
Which leads me to my next thought I had driving home after yet another thumbs up moment for the 928;
I get so many oooos and ahhhs about this car on the wealthy Philadelphia Main Line were Bentley cars are seen daily.
How the heck are these Porsches so under appreciated and cheap?????
Somebody hold their nose and call the Seller and rescue this Euro. His # 203 622 1848 (back on topic) Over and out.
