Saw it in person during the past c&c at west Chester. It is a beauty and the exhaust sounds intoxicating without being annoying. Pristine black leather interior. Worth every penny.

Very nice example of an S3.
I know the pipe organ can be a pain in the *** at times, but I do love the way they look.

Nice to know Matt is still looking at 928's.

Isn't this the same S3 that the seller turned down a 31k bid for on BaT?

That does not look like a 30K intake. Just sayin.

It sure does to me. It is still more silver than tan (fewer heat cycles) and the zinc plating is still more zinc than not. I think the engine bay supports the mileage claim.

Shame that the factory timing belt warning system was disabled.

I was thinking that it was way too tan for that mileage and looks more like mine when I got it at 60k but maybe it's my monitor playing tricks on me.

Hey guys, I sold my 928 [for 15k] to a really kool guy from NY. Miss it a lot and regret selling but needed space. Looking now for a decent '85 or '86 manual.

Tony, the 912 "R" is badass. Dry sump air cooled 4 with ample power. Paint and body turned out beautiful. Putting in the glass and interior now

Awesome progress Matt! Where do you get your suspension parts powdercoated and body painted in the Main Line?
