well thats great ,
now you do have a few more choices, since the new car is also an 1986.5
you could sell off the parts of the 5 speed to someone that wants to make a 5 speed car out of an auto ,
or keep the parts and make it happen for your new 928,
the brakes and suspension are also the S4 versions and desirable.

Good luck on your new project

 

Thanks Stan. I'll look into the swap a bit more. I believe, based on the VIN, that the auto is a '86.5 as well, right?

 

yes it is also an 86.5 so you now have two cars with the S4 suspensions these are desirable for those with early cars

 

Hi Al,

It looks like you deleted your original post recently??? What did you end up doing with the car?

 

Hey there! I still have the car and have slowly parted it out or used parts on another I've been restoring. Still have the 5 speed parts needed for a conversion as well as other desirable components.
