This looks like an incredible steal! Too bad it has the bumpers and side markers!

Yes. But at least they used what appears to be an OEM 928 flush mount side reflector and not some slapped on semi trailer light.

Sorry but "frame off" on a unibody car is simply stupid !!! and the odo miles are AFTER a "rebuilt " motor ....what ever that means ! Might be a nice car but no way is it a low miles original......nor did the pull the body off the frame.

Not very often are you wrong, but when you are....it's monumental.....

I beg do differ, that project was done with a sawsall.....and yes one can cut off the "extra" bits and end up with something which LOOKS like a frame. Big problem is putting it back together...as evidenced by the fact they put the body back on backwards

Agrre with Jim. It looks like a great car, and a decent price, but look closely at the paint job, for example, it looks like the bumper cover beading was painted on both ends (front and rear). This would indicate that the covers were painted on the car. Not something done in a quality paint job. The seats look great from the pictures however. Would need to see this car in person to get a good feel for it. If it is all there, a 78 Pascha car with a clean looking engine bay and interior at $7800 might not be a bad buy at all.

But why was the engine rebuilt with only 10k miles on the car?! Something doesn't add up.

10 k on the engine since rebuild.

Wondering if these are higher HP cars?

No. Higher HP didn't come until the 80 "S" model. The only difference between Euro and US is the driveline ratio.

Looks clean. I don't know about the engine rebuild or 10K miles, but those are not high mileage seats. Not new either, but fairly low mileage.
