They have always had some weird perversion for them. It starts to really show in pricing.

Sorry but this is it too funny....and as driveway art it is really worth next to NOTHING !! Way too many possible issues. and .."no mater how long it takes or how much money it will cost...." is a recipe for financial suicide. Unless you LOVE the car and always wanted a bastardized 928 which is how most people view the widebody fiberglass doda cars it really has little or no added value except possibly to a very, very few potential 928 buyers.

So lets get this straight..
Sounds like its about $30k from being a decent example which might then be worth $20k.
Good luck with your sale of WP0JB0928KS860755 !

- it doesn't run
- the interior isn't installed, its just sitting loose in the car (looking at rear seat backs and rear console)
- there are bodywork issues on most (all?) panels, so it needs fiberglass repair and a complete repaint
- you're offering to sell a complete running engine out of a parts car, which implies the engine in the strosek isn't repairable (for reasonable economic cost)? what exactly happened to the original engine?
- it probably needs all the standard work most S4's need.. timing belt, intake gaskets/sensors, shocks, engine mounts, AC fix-up, etc.

amg55...."A Strosek 928 is the holy grail of all 928's."
What comes to mind.....
The Monty Python team are at it again in their second movie. This time we follow King Arthur and his knights in their search for the Holy Grail. This isn't your average medieval knights and horses story - for a start, due to a shortage in the kingdom, all the horses have been replaced by servants clopping coconuts together!

It's all about finding the right buyer.
If someone is willing to pay your price, great. At this point in time, I see a car that at most would be worth $5,000.00 and even then only to the right buyer. I myself think it's worth closer to $2500.
But don't crap on Hilton just for stating his opinion.
And you say that you would buy any nice strosek 89+ car for $20k right now. Why not take that $20k and just fix your car instead?! Why expect someone else to take on your unfinished project and for them to pay top dollar?!

The "Holy Grail" of 928's is a ClubSport and even though I like the Strosek it certainly is not in the top five of desirable 928's. I will buy from Europe and have a car ready to drive.

A "bastardized 928", well that's one I've never heard before. I tend to think most people on here would disagree with what you're saying. [Actually, they would agree. Any Strosek, Koenig, Gemballa, Kremer, Jaquemond, etc. detracts from the near perfect design of the 928. Those kits add weight, increase cD, and are prone to need redoing in less than 10 years.] A Strosek 928 is the holy grail of all 928's. [Only perhaps for those wanting a kit car with the above mentioned faults]I'm sure anybody on here would take one in a heartbeat and add it to their collection if given the opportunity. [Yes, if they were given the car!] You're also sound rather foolish saying "it is really worth next to NOTHING!" Judging by the many offers I've been contacted with it is obviously worth much more then nothing, running or not. I don't know why you have so much animosity towards this car, what did it ever do to you? Do I sense some jealousy? You want my "driveway art" for yourself don't you? All fun and games here man. No need to get all pissy about a car that you have no apparent interest in. If you don't like the wide body 928's that's your opinion and I respect that. But don't put down the 928. [Believe me, he's not putting down the 928... but the non-running hulk that needs basically everything redone -that you are trying to compare to a running, sorted car... he is.]It had a rough life before it came into my possession and it WILL be brought back to life. "Financial suicide" is an obstacle someone like you might have to overcome, but for me that's an oxymoron.[So far, the only oxymoron related to this is that you claim to be a '928 fan'... yet you know next to nothing about the car and nothing about 928 trends. Perhaps your user name 'amg55' shows your real interest & selling the Strosek will help in THAT endeavor. Or, sell your AMG and put the money into restoring the Strosek.]
And this is from one that has a mildly-bastardized 928!

My comment was based on comments from the majority on Rennlist about my car -bastardized, but only mildly so. I didn't want too much extra weight or increase my drag coefficient. I did want a lower, wider track and accomplished that with minimal mods. But, I built it the way I wanted it. If I were to ever sell, I realize I would have to find someone that wants it the same way.

Well apparently, when given the opportunity for much less money nearly 2 years ago -everyone passed on it. Here is that thread: https://rennlist.com/forums/928-foru...sek-928-a.html
