Little Brothers new 1982 5 speed.

VERY nice 1982 competition package white with black sport interior that is almost mint! BUT.........

This is what a fuel line looks like right before it burst into flames.

Car has a receipt for new fuel lines ( not specific which ones) dated 12-4-09 for $640.00 which also includes new fuel pump.

Point is...NEVER ASSUME ALL lines where replaced. This poor car would have burned to the ground very soon.

Nice car though....interior is as close to new looking as I have seen on a car with 120,000 miles. Dash is nice, pod is perfect. seats are sport and nice as well. I need to replace the outside bolster on the driver seat ( I have some nice black leather from the back of my son's seats ) .

Everthing works too. even cold A/C....thats so odd.

Nice! Lotsa leather as well. I though those seats were only on the Euros. Exactly whats on a Competition Package 928?

I think its an S without the motor. Has spoilers and S brakes. Not totally sure the sport seats were in ALL competition packaged cars but my first 928 was a 1982 Kiln red with brown seats just like this one. Although it was an auto.

BTW...these seats are Manual and sit much lower than the comfort seats. So you taller drivers that want more head room should look for a pair of these seats. Much lighter as well with no motors.

He does not post or read forums. I guess I will be doing the wrenching on his car.

What's wrong with the gear shifter? It's supposed to be up higher isn't it?

Here is mine; and the one I carry around with me is quite longer according to my GF. She is known for telling tall tales though.

Good luck with the cool new 928 and the color you picked for the 1980 - Synergy Green Metallic - I would pick also, I really like it.
