Understood. I'm trying to get it fixed in conjunction with the purchase by someone nearby (Jim Doer) who's got some expertise. It's more a timing issue than anything else...

Lots of potential here to make this car your own and have a great 5 speed early driver 928!.....
At Frenzy events this car gets attention as a nice early example of an unmolested/unmodified 928. And that's among other unique 928's. I can imagine the attention it gets at German Marque events or Porsche GTG's.
The Minerva Blue draws your eyes to it. Historic plates add to its presentation. Hopefully the new owner of this car can get historic plates for it.

Jim, I agree about the paint and how it shows. Well done and very presentable. Kevin's photos are about as 'full disclosure' as you can get.
I understand your assessment of the interior needing work - from your viewpoint. You're an expert in early 928 interiors and one who places a high value on originality.
Personally I'd say that the interior is good to very good; could use some attention, but is certainly presentable - considering the car's age and the fact that we're talking about an under $4k car.

There aren't too many early 928 5-speeds that you can get in and drive without first having to fix major mechanical/cosmetic issues; that are very presentable; and that can be had for under $4k.

If I had more space and less spouse, I'd be all over this car.

GLWS, Kevin!

Well said, all around JP!

So who's the lucky winner... someone here?

Congrats on the sale, Kevin!

She'll be going to Sistersville, WV. Ought to be a blast driving it on switch backs in the fall with all the trees changing colors. Picking it up at the Frenzy has its appeal but the logistic might be too daunting. Sort of depends if I can get temp plates so I can drive it back to WV. If I have to haul it on my trailer, I will want to minimize the driving in northern VA. I don't think I want to drive the F-250 and trailer to the Frenzy.

She looks like a beauty!

She is a beauty. I looked at this car for Kevin before he bought it. It's a really beautiful.

Tardis,
You got a great car from a stand-up guy. If you've never met Kevin, you'll quickly realize that he's honest, knowledgeable and considerate.
I'm confident that you won't regret this purchase.
