red flash.. I don't know if you are kidding or not but I did buy the car and intend to keep it and fix it up! I'm just a little down on internet savvy at this time and will post pix when I get one of my daughters to help me out. Good day to you.

Looks like you might be able to get one or two more lifts in there.

Congrats, we look forward to seeing it! Enjoy it!

Have you tried laying them on their side? You should be able to get a few in there that way, as long as they have rub strips they'll be fine.

Yes, yes. I'm kidding (a little.) There's that old expression, behind every joke there is a grain of truth. :-)

But, on the other hand, my interest ranking for 928s is as follows:
1.) GTs and CSs
2.) Euro Ss
3.) OBs with Pascha
4.) All the other 928s

So of course I'm interested to see the pics when somebody announces his Euro!!!!!

Nice buy. I am always happy to see someone pounce on one of these listings. I've done it twice and come out pretty well but feel that I was real, real lucky. Even so, if I found a euro I'd have to take another chance😉

RedFlash. joke understood. I should have waited till I had some pix to show before I opened my big mouth. My interweb photographer expert should be over this weekend to help me out with pix. then I need to figure out how to post on the list. I'm an old coot so have to get help. Not to much to show as euro is kinda rough and will get all the fixes it needs over time. Still thrilled to get another 928...

Yep looks like you need a set up like BigCavalo's got.




or one of these!

Another '83 5-speed Euro heard from! Nice looking car. I like the 'Manhole Covers'. Makes mine look like a "Rat Rod" with Cup-1 wheels!! How many '83 Euro 5-speeds are there? I have one, Euro-trash in Phila. has one, I think Hlee in Chad's Ford has one. How many others?

Strikemaster. Good to hear from another brave soul. Not many that I've seen but maybe some of the gurus can tell us. Have you any idea where I can get all those big hoses on the front of the engine? as you can see the PO didn't have any idea. the car needs a lot of electrical work and has a lots of missing parts..

STRIKEMASTER

The same hose was replaced by my car's P.O. by a piece of heater hose!! I got the hose from 928Intl. for about $18. 928SrUS, 928 classics, and Pelican Parts are good suppliers too. I've replaced the starter, water pump, timing belt, cam gears,oil pump and timing gears (so far) and got all my parts from 928 Intl. Just remember when you order parts, always include your Vin AND Engine #. A lot of parts for the U.S. engine won't fit a Euro. You should have the M28-11 engine..300+hp YEEEHAAAA!!!. When I got mine, I talked the seller down from $5900 to $3500 cash and drove it home. The paint is "sunburned", the clear cote is peeling off, so it looks kind of ratty but the interior is in pretty good shape. It also has a lot of 'Nickle-Dime' problems---OOPS it's a 928...make that $50-$100 problems.. LOL... From what I've been able to find out, they only made 719 left hand drive, M28-11, 5 speeds in '83 . That's why I'm curious about how many there are in the U.S.

Love the Euro 928!! The color is very pleasant and the 5spd trans is an exceptional find! Does the car have any interesting option codes?

rcrone928

Strike master. I wish I had your interior. That is just beautiful! Some parts are missing on the interior of mine but I'll get it sorted out over time. I paid 5k for this one and maybe a little high for condition it's in but you just don't see euros around here much so I pounced on it. It does have m28-11 so, good there..When you mentioned engine # did you mean m28/11 or some other number that I don't know about? Anyway Thank you for responding and be well.
