Feel bad that I had never met him, even though he lives less than 10 min from my house. Introduced myself when I first signed up here, but he was going through some important life changes. Gary Knox, who is also 10 min the other direction from my house, is good friends with him and I remembered him telling me about Earl's GT. IIRC, he was asking $35k or so. Worth it, bc you know Earl made it perfect.

That's funny these parts do not exist with the custom Intake for the SC, " I suspect warm up regulator or auxiliary air valve needs attention. ".
I'd think it's the O2 or just need to be run more, it was running great when AO sold it and it was a really nice condition 85 Euro.
The real "1 of 1" part is the 16v Intake for the 4.7 heads to adapt the Autorotor, IIRC this is the only one DR built for a 16v 928.

Thanks for the reminder, Dave!

You need to meet him, one hell of a nice guy and who I consider one of the greats in this community. Been a couple months since I've talked with him, need to give him a call.
His car is worth whatever asking price he's got in mind, you know it's been done right.
It was Andrew's car (AO), and he sold it 6 months ago on ebay.
Very nice.
Just to clear up chain of ownership. at least to the best of my recollection:
Me -- 1998 until 3/2010
Ed Meier -- 3/2010 - 12/2011
Iwanna928 - 12/2011 -9/2012
Andrew Olson - 9/2012 - 9/2017
Current Owner 9/2017 - Now
Cheers,
Dave

Correct, 1 of 1, and a fun fact, that intake perimeter was water jetted from a solid chunk of 2"(IIRC) thick billet aluminum. Only the thin outline was left and I used the large very heavy cutout from the center as a door stop for many years. Ail this because I wanted a one piece perimeter for the intake with no welds/joints etc. It was expensive as heck.
1993 GTS Auto, Horizon Blue Metallic over Cobalt w/ 57k miles. No JPC but lots of recent MX. Check out the parts suppliers on the receipts. C'mon Roger, you need to get in on that action!
Wow. That's effective though. Technically not fraudulent. It does cross out the $12,800...as though that was an actual price that was renegotiated. It does draw you right to the website to look into a deal that never happened. Reminds me of those Quibids type shysters. "I bought a new iPad Air for $14.27!"
