Thanks guys, paint work still isn't done after three years and my driver door is still not adjusted perfectly and assembled but I am close.

Still need an upper driver window seal, and the inner lock cylinder so I can button my door up and at least lock it if I take it somewhere.

Lake in background is Canandaigua Lake in upstate NY. I'll never be able to afford an outhouse near it but they let us drive by!

Unfortunately will be selling my 928 due to some financial issues.
1978 PORSCHE 928 “EURO-ROW”
VIN – 9288100622.
Imported to the US by a dentist who's office was in Rockefeller Plaza, and lived in Long Island, so the car barely got driven. He ended up selling it to a man in Rochester NY in 1985 with only 18,000 miles on it.
He owned a pizzeria and worked a ton of hours so he sold it to his son in-law, who ended up traveling to other countries for Kodak and missing much of his family life and stuck the car in his rental garage- where i ended up buying it from him with about 24k miles when Kodak crumbled and he lost his job. The car is in great shape for it's age and the mileage is accurate from everything myself and anyone who's looked deeply into the has observed. Below are notes from most of the work i've done since i've owned it. I have some paperwork from when it was imported into NYC, some notes from the owner on the purchase from Germany, an old title copy, some receipts for parts. I'm asking $18k. I finally got to drive it a bunch of times this summer and put about 500 miles on it and it runs like a top. the Borla stainless exhaust sounds perfect, and the magnaflow hi-flow cat takes the no-cat smell away. No sunroof, 5-speed, no side rub strips, deleted rear wiper, deleted US federalized side markers, this is a beautiful and quick car that hasn't seen a drop of rain or snow since i've owned it, and sits in my new pole barn 24/7. There was an old thread on this car before i bought it, mentioning 26k miles, but it was incorrect. it had 24k on it.

I've seen this car and been in it. It is spectacular. Such a bummer you have to sell.

Geo55

Must be heartbroken to sell it. What a gorgeous car. And in upstate too!

Thanks Geo, good to see another Upstate guy, love your area, spent some time in the Ithaca farmers market and went to the Americana winery for 4th of July last year.

My price is pretty firm, and if it doesn't sell, i'll be doing tons of side work and trying to pay for things in other ways in order to keep this beauty.
