What a hot mess POS and a very untrustworthy seller. While he states the car currently does not run, "It turns over fine, but does not start, and I do not know why. There is nothing wrong with the engine or the transmission.", right, except the line across the radiator is disconnected, there are wires poking out everywhere, the rattle can job on the intake sprayed over everything, the pictures are taken without comprehension that a buyer may want to see the interior, and who knows what else. It's a $1500 roller at best as it sits, and I wouldn't touch that greasy shift **** without rubber gloves!.

I still need to drive a well sorted example though. I am in East TN and so far I have to drive 3+ hours to get to ones for sale; I checked out an 84S in Lexington but it had a bent frame and first gear was trashed. The motor was fine, but as Setzer said the low horsepower and tall gears made it feel pretty pokey. Might've liked it more if it wasn't such a mess though.
@Setzer I'm also curious about why you didn't mention the S4 - too much-added weight by that point?

I'm in Carthage...86.5 w/t56 swap courtesy of the previous owner(currently being rebuilt because of a 6th gear issue). If you get towards Nashville I'd be happy to try and meet you. I bought mine without ever sitting or driving one until the test drive, but I've got the "hot rod" version of an 86.5" Porken Chip, X Pipe, RMB, new suspension and the Corvette 6 speed swap all re-done over the last 2 years. It would at least give you an idea of the potential of this model year car with NA power mods that are not going to do anything but drop a few MPG, add tuned up HP and make enough noise to upset the neighbors if you floor it out of the driveway. If you're on FB we have a new group called "928 Owners Middle Tennessee".

Very nice. And IIRC from its appearance at last year's Frenzy, it looks like DATA55 is parked behind you.
