New listing on BaT for a neglected 86.5. Sat for a long time. Looks like a good platform, but catch-up will be heavy$$$.

One looks as though it's had a top-end refresh, one does not. One has what appears to be re-zinced quadrant, hose clamps, etc., one does not. One is missing its jump-post cover & drip cover, one does not. One has 15k less miles on the engine, one does not. The white car does not have the appearance that whoever was doing maintenance cared about the quality of their work. I get it, I don't have x-ray vision eyes nor the telekinetic ability to perform a TB check or compression check. But in a head-to-head comparison of those engine bays, there's a clear winner.
One note on that white GTS - I've never seen an original vin/build sticker oriented horizontally as it is on that car.

Actually, both are ‘missing’ the jump post covert but both show the 14-pin drip shield. On the white car the latter is flopped-over between the post and the upper hose.
In both cases, I would bet that the jump post covers are hanging on their retainers below the post. Forgetting to put the cover back on the jump post on the white car and not securing the shield with it may lead to loss-of-drip-shield (LDS) syndrome.

What's my 1982 928 worth?
I'm not a wrench and just bought a 928 a week or so ago and just starting to learn about them. But then I bought a Cayman too and I realized I probably don't need two, specially since I have a 2017 Japanese daily driver sitting outside while the Porsche's are garaged.
So I'm wondering what a group of Porsche forum folks would think my car is worth and what I should or shouldn't do to it?
It's not a dog with a missing motor, but she's not a museum piece either.
I drove it 75 mph for 2 hours after I bought it. Seats look great, dash is good. Paint is good. Car starts first time and runs nice. Has 92k miles but who know since the odometer (and gas gauge) doesn't work. I never even noticed until after I bought it.
Now the negatives. A/C is out, needs new ball joints, muffler, passenger window roller is very slow, missing Blaupunkt ****, front air damn is broken, and the car has fumes when sitting overnight. Im guessing a fuel seal, line, or a crack in the upper part of the fuel tank is letting out vapers. No puddles underneath and the sniff test on the fuel cap seems ok.
So let me post some pictures and hear those who are way more educated with your advice.

Na, I just wanted to follow that multi million dollar Ferrari. If I ever get one, it'll be a 308 or 328 - those are the ones I like, or the more modern 360 or 430, but that's it.
