Ebay miracle celebrity 928

I bet somebody is going to get a rude awakening on this one.

347 hp out of an apparently stock Ljet intake system, seller won't list the VIN, actual mileage, or engine changes, and its been dorked around, no telling without a close inspection how good or bad all the interior and exterior mods were done. If all the work was done well, then happy surprise to the new owner of a unique looking car.

OTOH "celebrity" is kind of a generic word, and all the mods could be amateur hour cheap repairs from damage. Whoever did the seats apparently didn't have a clue.

Flippers kind of generically irk me too.

Taillights look weird but I kinda like that hatch.

The rest of the car is pretty suspect. Cant imagine it makes that much power.

No, The celeb is Lassie and the autograph is a liquid that youll rinse off the rear tire with a garden hose.

I didn't realise most 928's smoked. Learn something every day. I should read e-bay more often.

$7201 for an 80 automatic of unknown mileage. I wonder what may soon be revealed. At least half a dozen people sure liked it a lot more than I do.

The celeb must not be of any status to keep it under wraps

Exactly.

If it was someone truly famous, they'd hype that aspect up to increase the perceived value of the car.

Like they did with this one owned by Kim Carnes, for example:
