Pics of the car are MUCH better than I expected! That interior while rough is hardly RUINED... So, you might get away with rehab on some of the parts and a redo on others. The paint does not look bad in the pics...might shine up and be presentable for awhile anyway...
Maybe you get lucky on the not running status and get it on the road for not to much money. Having spent $1200 on the car you have a bit of room to play. Ultimately it would be a VERY BAD BUY to make it in to a concours car w/o you doing all the work and taking your time on it.
Making it a NICE DD...well, you maybe be only $7k away from a $5k DD...
Here are some numbers from the Tech Spec books from Porsche on the US spec 4.5L Auto cars:
Max speed 140mph
0-62 mph 7.7 sec
1/4 mile 16.0
I sure hope Russ was kidding about the Vette build quality vs. the 928..."more expensive and had lesser build quality than a Vette." You have GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! Most Vettes won't even last as long let alone cover the miles of a 928...you will find few cars with better build quality than a 928 and certainly NO Vette has better build quality. Run one for about 10k miles and the thing will squeak and rattle like a tin can filled with pebbles. Sure it will still be fast, but YUCK! Not to mention the quality of the interior parts (at least from new...that German stuff does not seem to last in the hot sun of the SW, but when new it certainly looks better than even the newest C6 Vette today)...
