I saw this car on Monday. Clean title but was in the insurance companies name, PO owned it since 2008. No records. Car will need the front end painted, frame straightened, new bumper and all bumper lights. Lower spoiler was there as well has the H4's. Fender liners toasted, passenger fender un-bolted. Engine bay looked like the usually pile of differed maintenance. Cup 1's are OEM. Interior was in really good shape, no cracks in the dash or pod, leather very nice. The rest of the paint is good minus the sunroof panel which is scratched. Seller won't budge from 28k CDN plus HST (32k all in).
Insurance paid out 62k CDN and I was told the accident damage was estimated at 19k CDN, but I think that is low, especially if you want top notch paint.
Yikes...lot's of issues with that GTS...32K is steep considering what it needs! 19K won't touch the repairs required, then at least another 10-15K probably to make the car right. On the bright side, it sounds like the PO did okay with the insurance payout at 62K.
This looks to be the same one that Roger posted above.
Just spoke with the owner, He is asking $18,500.00. Info given to me as follows. Not Running, has not run since 2005 supposedly,He has not tried to see if the engine will crank manually yet, Crack in Windshield,Rust on Rear Hatch,He did hook up a battery to see if its special German Horns worked, those are his words. They worked, he didn't try to see if any of the other electrics work, Windows,Head Lights,Windshield wipers etc. He did say the dash lights lit up. Says the Dash Pad is perfect no cracks. He remarked the car was kept in a climate control Garage. No dents or dings, but paint will need work. Thats about all of his remarks. Car located in Hanceville Alabama.

The 34k mile '79 seems to be a very interesting car. Any observations from you guys that know these OB cars would be appreciated. If it was on the east coast I would probably be on my way to see it.
thanks, Zach
BaT latest...'94 GTS auto with only 31K miles. Black over cashmere. Super nice. This will be 'spensive!
That's going to be one to watch. Despite the fact that it needs a timing belt now and that it very-likely also needs the "20 year maintenance" (i.e. MMs, OPG, intake refresh, cam cover gaskets, A/C o-rings, etc.) it's an increasingly-rare find: a 928 that hasn't been screwed-up. As long as the winner puts it into the right hands for its needed service it will be awesome.
