Default "Certified Pre-Owned" early 928

I didn't know there was a certification process in place for cars from the 70s!

All joking aside, it is a pretty interesting color but I think the starting bid is a little high. Remember to BYOSW (momo should be good) and someone to hotwire it.

This one, however, may actually be Scarface's ride... Maybe the PO took the scanners out.

It cannot be scarface's car as it does not have any bullet holes.

Damn, you would think that bullet deflectors came with the scrambler/scanner/fog light package!

I think it was red at some point.

Just a guess.

Left door and right headlight were red at least. Right door shows white/chiffon innards. Yellow spray chipping off below hatch shows black. Junkyard dog 928?

Love the GTS interior with bad dye job flaking off being touted as a selling point. Certified something all right.

Even a bottom-feeder like me has to pass on this one.

Love the no-rub-strip Chiffon '84 S, do not understand the Scarface reference - wrong year, color, package, etc.

Anybody can certify that this is a pre-owned project car.

Something tells me that your famous quote, "You're $10,000 away from having a $5,000 car" would apply.

More like, "You're $20,000 away from having a $3,000 car" might be closer to the truth on this one.
