1. "Am I sure my GTS doesn't need an intake refresh?" Given the 2014 documented receipt, I am s sure as I can be.
Right. That was written when “we” did NOT know that ‘that’ ‘91GT had had a refresh. (Side note: I’m stupefied that the seller didn’t get way out in front by posting in far more detail the extensive maintenance on that one.)
4. "Or are you fine driving it with those issues?"
That-^ was the point. Everyone defines ‘need’ in different ways. I was hoping to get folks to consider the extreme ends of the ‘needs’ spectrum so that they have a better idea of what ‘need’ can mean depending upon who writes it, and to contemplate where their personal definition of ‘need’ lies in that spectrum.
Really nice 928! One item worth noting is the car saw some salt roads. The undercarriage is just average, the engine bay slightly above average. 928s don't rust apart at all, but the oxidation has affected finishes that should otherwise be quite nice given the low miles.
So the price is just a little bit 'off' given these condition issues.
Urg... I definitely have mixed feelings about this. While it's nice to see our cars finally getting respect in the marketplace, every $50k+ 928 is another 928 that will never again be on the road. And every $50k 928 is another yahoo pricing the neglected rough-but-fixable car that he parked a few years ago that 'just needs a fuel pump' into stupid territory.
Sharks used to be a chance for someone of modest means and some determination to own one of the world's finest cars. It looks like that's going to cease to be the case soon.
I have been discovering that parts prices are an impediment for "people of modest means" to "own one of the world's finest cars". I think a C5 Corvette (of which I own 2) is more practical for that. But the 928 is completely different and deservedly so. How often do you see a Corvette (or a 911 variant) on the road? How often do you see a 928?
So two of the most custom built Devek Strokers are BOTH for sale...Louie and the Beast that Tim and Cheryl ran in ORR to 209.9mph..... I believe Louies car dyno a bit higher due to the ITB intake
