928 DesMoines

Friends, once again, my employers are moving me along. I've been having fun with my 1989 S4 hoopty parts car that I bought last year. I originally bought it as a parts car for a specific purpose; but my kids convinced me to go the other way with it for a while. Had fun using it as my daily, but I'm out of time on this one; so finally pulled the motor last week for its original purpose (the motor). Stone Gray Metallic. The PO scuffed up the paint on the front for some sort of paint prep, but it is original paint. The PO also had the interior (not to my taste really) re-done so is complete.

Anyway, minus the engine, I am selling the rest of the car. Here is the catch: If you want parts, you must buy the complete car.

Here is my Rennlist ad

I am not too far from Frenzy (like 100 miles) ; but alas, I can't make it there as I am spending time with my daughter at her college graduation ceremony (It was originally covid postponed). However, if you are attending Frenzy and want to come see/buy the car just PM me and we can work something out. I would like to have this car gone before I am transferred so that my wife doesn't have to deal with it while i'm travelling away. So again, I'm not parting out the car as I am out of time for that sort of thing; but PM me with offers for the complete car (minus the engine of course).

It seems to me the market for non-pristine 928s is very cold right now.

Lots of sellers, no buyers.

The comments on your auction illustrate the C&B audience. Sorry you wasted your time.

Fox_

It was listed on here for several months, with zero attention.

...but I agree, didn't expect much out of that website.

I think this is generally true, not just on C&B.

Where is the torque tube?

Is this someone's car here on Rennlist?

@Fox_ - Sorry to see the audience on C&B wasn't there, did your car end up selling?

Fox_

Nope, didn't want to sell it for what the reserve was anyways.

Congrats Rob. I think it was fairly bought and sold. I would have put it between 15 and 20, all things considered, and it hit just about in the middle. Are you happy?

olmann

I would agree. I was going to bid in the last couple of minutes if it stayed below $15k. I thought it would have been cool to have both “11’s” but I have too many projects right now anyway. If I was all caught up I would have considered $25k.

Anyway, congratulations! Hope the new owner shows up here!

Rob Edwards

I'm happy with ~$18K, considering how much cosmetic work it needs. But she has really solid bones and I'm looking forward to the new owner A) joining here and B) taking it to the next level. This car racked up fewer than 800 miles in the last 13 years, the more I've driven it the better it runs. Time for it to rack up some miles!

Can anybody in Green Bay check this out for me? If so it would be much appreciated!
