Let me know when you'll be around. Saturday late morning/early afternoon would work best, or a similar time on Sunday (at least that's the plan for now)

PS - I am in the north suburbs, not too far off I-79 at Wexford, or the PA turnpike at Rt 8.

Is that a factory original interior?

First I've seen anything like that before!

I like it. How many 928's had tartan interior option?

Yep Tony....the 928's have the flat upper part...these are kind of rounded like the later 928 seats...not as blocky as the early 928 sports or regulars..

Nice find!

What is the VIN of this car?
92A0800287

It was listed as an '81 (And on title) but I believe it's an '80

911 seats were a 'cheaper' option in the '80's to keep costs down...my '81 past are 911 seats as well.

Go through all of the systems and get it into tip top shape then drive it.

Jim is a great resource and yes he does know the early cars.

BTW Rob Budd can restich the wheel using the existing leather,
he did mine its perfect !
Certainly doing the mechanicals first, may keep the current paint for a while...touch up the rust and drive...that wheel is gong to Rob for sure - thanks for the tip!

Definitely are the original seats (yes, also found in 911's). Seem to be more common in MY80-83 CIS cars in my experience (mostly 4.5L and some 4.7L).

These fabric threads are always cool ; that Black Watch tartan is a prized possession in my '78 911. I doubt whether we will ever see such fabrics or designs in the cars of our future. The spray on leather seems to be de rigeur in most cars.
