I agree with Alex that if the car was in such bad condition as he stated, why not check the head gaskets too and replace them? I did the same for my '78 petrol blue, and I am a little regrettable in doing so, just because the car was in pretty poor condition outside and inside (inexpensive buy), but the engine somehow was in very good shape once I had everything apart! Talk about, fix it til it's broken

Here's a 1987 S4 for sale. $18,500. Auto, rear A/C, black interior in excellent condition, 108k miles (accurate!), new wheels and tires, clean CarFax, service records and some nice Jerry Feather upgrades. Email or PM for all the details. Just too many demands on my time to truly enjoy and appreciate this car.

T's gonna call me a snob now.
Agree 100 percent. Also sounds as if it needs sorting on the CIS and clutch as well from the way the description reads. Why go this far and not see it thru? Who wants to spend 12g on a car that doesn't run properly nor shift properly.
Unfortunately, he's asking people to pay more than $15-20k for the car.

I'm really not into what he's done here. The restoration is so gauche.
Wouldn't be surprised if a cartoon shark hood liner and neon under-lighting was considered in the restoration process.
That looks fantastic. Had no idea Pascha could look so good.
All the previous examples I've seen are faded and yellowed.
One reason is that he used black and white Pascha which I am not sure was even offered in 79. Black and beige and brown and beige seem to be most common. I do agree that it looks incredible.

Black/White was available in '78 & '79: PDF of available combinations, codes, and colors available here:
Would have to have verification from Porsche that it came with car from factory via a COA. The interior does look awesome, and I love Petrol. Great combo here. It was the cheesiness of the rest of the car I was commenting on.
Black/Brown is my favorite Pasha but unfortunately replacement is NLA worldwide.
I feel greasy just looking at the pictures of the interior. This dealership needs an Armor All intervention. Listed as a manual but it is not. Aftermarket radio and clock. No jump post cover. But actually a very nice looking car and interior looks to be in good shape despite the oil spill. Plus I kinda dig the pinstriping. Odd for an '88 to have it, but I think it works.
Also what's up with the "928 S4" badge? That does not look correct. Font is wrong.
