Man, I love that no-doorguard look. How hard is it to fill those holes and match paint?

Damn. I love Garnet Red and that interior is unusual for a Garnet Red car.

I must keep repeating to myself: "I only have time to take care of one 928."

(Edit: removed own ill-advised & unwarranted remark.)



Looks like grey-gruen interior to me, that's pretty rare combo right there.



I missed one just like that years ago, but it was a RoW.

Always remember rare colors are rare because few people would buy them...repeat that three times until it sinks in...

Looks just like my car but mine has burgundy interior. It would be such a great project if one has the skill.

Well that's the thing about subjective likes. Kermit was the reason I bought my car. Mine isn't green (it's blue), but when I saw Kermit I fell in love with these cars all over again.
With the car in this thread, I like the outside color - my first shark was that same color, and I like the inside color - a good friend had a beautiful green car with that interior color. I just hate the two combined in the car in the OP.

I still think this 1986.5 is a much more appealing candidate than the other car that you passed. There are many fish.

That COULD be a really simple fix...but again, that whole "ran great when I parked it," or in this case "Ran great until I had this very simple electrical problem that I'm not going to fix" (I know he didn't say that exactly) you have to take with a huge grain of salt.

This is one gorgeous car though. I wish I could get a second one...
