It shows pretty well but the throttle quadrant and fuel damper show corrosion, unexpected for a low miles Beverly Hills/Texas car. Looks more like it made it to Massachusetts in January, or maybe someone spilled a margarita on it while parked at Laguna Beach.
Or just sat in a uncontrolled dark basement 2nd-sub-level garage with bare concrete floors and walls for two decades.
I didn’t read through. Maybe the fluids have been changed every few years. Otheriwse, without a doubt the brake fluid in the PSD is jello, the heads are swiss cheese, and every single gasket, seal and hose will start spewing forth if this GTS is started and driven for more than seconds at a time.
Nevermind: 23-year-old timing belt. 23-year-old sealed tensioner bearing. Don’t even start the engine.

Sad really.
"Rode hard and put away wet" comes to mind.
Ad says "The 928 has recently been treated to a full servicing and new Michelin Pilot Sport tires at a cost of about $10,000..." and there's a Gate's belt sticker in the door-jam that says it was put on 10 December 2017. Whoever did the work must have ninja skills because I see nothing under the hood that looks like anything was removed for service. Well, other than not having the original worm clamps on the radiator hoses and the drip-rail cover missing (really need to think about RFID on those )
I only have pics of 2 B&B cabrios... the Euro one has side moldings the USA car does not...so this could be the third one I suppose.
Looks right from the few pics they posted on ebay...see if you can get pics of the boot area B&B had a pretty distinctive boot and trunk design. ..this would be a great catch.
