Yes it is backwards, and 3 out of 4 missing air box straps calls into serious question the care this car has received. This isn't like teasing over the jump post cover. If that box isn't secured properly, lots of particulate matter can get right through there and through the MAF, throttle body and into those cylinders. I would not touch this car without a bore scope and compression test, just to be sure.
some folks have zero concept about photographic composition
Isnt this the same one that’s been for sale for a while? Used say it had a brand new Maaco paint job. The rooster is definietly an upgrade, but marketing wizard he is not.

I'm afraid that will be the case. The paint looks great in the pictures even with the rooster.
Be highly cautious if you consider a transaction with this person. Ive had a series email exchanges with him that don't seem quite right. The lack of basic knowledge, strange comments, and maybe most important, unwilling to talk by phone, leave a bit of a rodent smell. I don't run across too many rats with 928s (of the one "t" variety), but something doesn't seem right. The pictures look great, but who knows what driveway it may be parked in. Be careful.

No doubt its a beauty. If it's really his, I wouldnt buy it without doing the full transaction face to face. He doesnt seem to have any meaningful service records. Timing belt done by PO over 12 years ago, no record of motor mounts, intake refresh, AC doesnt work, etc. etc. May still be a great car, but buyer beware.
That was a big surprise to me. And I was very surprised at how low it went for. Maybe the seller thought the lifting of the reserve would spark more bidders? That really only works during the final stages of the auction - in this case, during those last 2 minutes. I had this car pegged at $50K+ all day long. Buyer got a great deal, absent thrust bearing or something like that.
Not sure, but the seller is getting grumpy. That may hurt his sale. Few people can handle these things on the public auctions like Dennis H. And his results prove it. The cassirot seller is a collector and likely knows not a lot about this specific model.

BAT auction is ruthless, definitely a gauntlet for a seller. It's almost to the point of being unfair to the seller. The buyer has as much responsibility to research as the seller does to disclose. In most auctions, you inspect the car, research, read the write up and bid...there is no forum to ask questions or otherwise point out possible shortcomings or build doubt for other prospective buyers.
