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

Thanks Sean, I'm looking forward to it.

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. A Strosek 928 is the holy grail of all 928's. I'm sure anybody on here would take one in a heartbeat and add it to their collection if given the opportunity. 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. 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 lets get this straight..

• 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.

Sounds like its about $30k from being a decent example which might then be worth $20k.

Good luck with your sale of WP0JB0928KS860755 !

Greetings Captain Obvious! Yes the interior isn't bolted down, being able to easily remove all of the interior in seconds is very helpful when someone needs the extra room to move around inside the car while working on it. The car isn't driving yet so why would they need to be bolted in yet?? And who said the engine in the Strosek wasn't repairable? For all we know that's a perfect engine in the Strosek and might just need something simple like a new fuel pump. Obviously the car needs body work on the fiberglass, (very cheap to have fiberglass work done here in Miami, we all have boats and many shops specialize in fiberglass repair on boats and cars). I like how you pointed out that it needs paint as if we all didn't notice. Those who own a Porsche 928 are very meticulous and detailed people (as I'm sure you know being a 928 owner yourself) but even someone that knows absolutely nothing about cars can tell you it needs a professional paint job after the body work is done. And please please please show me another Strosek in decent shape for sale here in the U.S. For $20,000. Because I will be buying that thing for sure. Actually show me ANY 1989+ Strosek for sale in the U.S. ....So let's get this straight... Are you even saying anything remotely relevant? Other then obvious of course.

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.

And this is from one that has a mildly-bastardized 928!

amg55

you make a very valid point, but I wasn't expecting anyone to take over the project, I was merely "fishing" it out on eBay to see what it would bid up to. I was curious to see what the public thought it was worth as is. I'm having it rebuilt for myself at this point. It would just be to hard to replace. People don't let the nice ones out of their collections for sale very often.

amg55

Damn bro. I can tell deep down inside you really really wish you had a Strosek. Don't hate the player, hate the game. And what does my AMG have to do with anything? The 928 was my first love.

amg55

money isn't an issue but even if it was I'd never get rid of my AMG Benz. Amazing car.

If I wanted a Strosek, I would have built one.

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.

White Lightnin'

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

They didn't pass on it because they didn't want it. They passed because they didn't have the time and or funds to have it rebuilt. There was money to be made in purchasing that car, so I bought it and just sat on it for a few years and now I'm ready to get the project started. I've recently been offered double what I paid for it so I'm already way ahead of the game. I said to myself if anything I'm getting a sick set of wheels with it.
