They show up here about once every 6 months, sometimes more frequently. If you are new to 928's there are far better, more collectible examples than this you can find. Oh, and I know a few things about the cost of restoring a 928. Not trying to be smart-*** here. This car is not that special. Do I hope the seller gets $59k for the car, sure.
For whatever reason a lot of owners of these cars saw them as temporary transportation, driven just a few months out of the year. Which means low mile, original examples are not plentiful, but also not uncommon. The recent surge in 928 asking prices are an overflow of the 911 value frenzy. Which is a good thing for present owners.
Agree with Dan. Normally spot a really nice OB come through 1-2x per year. Example below of a Mocha Braun 5spd, no rub/sunroof low mile that I should of purchased a few years back. IIRC sold for approx. $ 18,000 T
ok I might as well show you what we have for sale here in Kiwi-land.
This one is a '79 with 68000km (that should be miles I guess), tidy example asking $24500nz (17k ish US) it's a Jap import to NZ

So after like 5 red 928s in a row, BaT finally posts a non-red, silver S4. But wait! It actually was red and repainted silver! Nuts. Always fun to follow the discussion on these over there.
Would have been a much more interesting car if left red with the burgundy interior, not many of that combination. It also has a GTS rear bumper cover so that was probably added during the repaint. It does have jump post cover and cap so definitely a well cared for car
Edit: sorry Tony was replying at same time, have added my comments to the for sale thread, thanks for the reminder!

I recall that car. Haven't seen one in that condition at that price in some time.

Hey Kev, Could be RBC was damaged beyond repair and was replaced with new before paint ? Thing is and IIRC S4 RBC's are NLA and GTS RBC's are. T
It's all a matter of perspective. Try finding an early example as clean with original paint or better yet restoring one for less.

Mine is very similar to this - mileage, year, original exterior / interior quality, mechanically smooth, etc.
It's India red (better). Mine is auto though, so this has the manual premium.
The one I have has celebrity provenance however... And, a collection of cassette tape albums from '79 (good year for music).
Wouldn't expect $60k for a couple of years yet... Although...
Thing is, the 911 surge has got into stupid territory. The leap on this 928's price is a little rich but not extraordinary given the crappy beetle-esque (tired engine noise and body deterioration) hawked by Beverly Hills Car Club et al.
I mean, it's a pervasive 911 not 'rocking horse s**t' (which great early 928s are becoming).
I laugh when people accept inflating GTS prices (gaudy and over-embellished imho) but not the deserved uptick in early pure-Breds.
