928's on ebay, and other places

[Danglerb]

Many of us are always snooping for a 928, here is a thread to post them in.

Ebay cheap Euro S in NY.

Now if only I could find similar stuff on ebay.de

[Danglerb]

My impression is that a lot of stuff is available in the EU, but isn't placed on ebay so frequently, just sold privately. MOT puts a lot of old cars for sale cheap too.

I think this is the same car i looked at some months ago...i wouldnt even give the guy $100 for it,....it was that rough!!!

but it did have one good thing going for it...it had a mint dash!!
...if someone needs a black dash...grab it!..i had the car for $300 last time...but didnt buy it...too much work to get it home..flat tires...lock nuts on the wheels with no key etc...i only took a tow dolly with me...you'll need a flat bed trailer

[Danglerb]

Sure it was a mint dash and not a dash cover/cap?

[MPDano]

By the looks of the car condition, it has to be a dash cap or cover.

[american-kiwi]

no..it was a real dash!! ..i have looked at those dash caps....it amazed me too when i saw it...it was leather

[MPDano]

Hmmm, how bad was the rest of it? Complete? I know it looks bad in pic but your personal lookie if more believable. Are you real close to Phoenix? I'll look you up whenever we can get around to visiting my Bro in Law. Our 2 year old is the main reason for not making this long trip from San Diego.

You're absolutelly right, but the problem is I don't live in Germany, so it's almost impossible to fish for such opportunities. And somehow everything that shows up on ebay.de is 2-3 times more expensive then the same part on ebay.com

Not to mention cars...

Wow.......looks like a great deal! The car looks like it's pretty complete and would be well worth it in parts for that price. Especially that mint dash!

Too bad it wasn't closer to me.........I'd be heading over there with my trailer!

Early 80's cars part out to very little. In theory the doors are the same, but interior panels added speaker grilles in 84, and body panels rarely sell. In SoCal there have been hoods, doors, and fenders on CL for 6 months that haven't sold. What you end up with are a bunch of maybe parts with no way to test them that you have to sell as is cheap.

OTOH if you have a project car, a parts donor might be great, but don't be surprised if both cars have the same stuff bad.

hi Guys...its not a 83....that was another reason i didnt buy it...i think it was a 81-82...4.5lt , its all there...just not in one peice...intake etc was pulled off...all laying in the back of the car...the seats are shot...windows left open...in the AZ sun and rain...they dont last long...thats why i was amazed too, to see the good dash inside...."AZ- kid" looked at it too....when we were both trying to buy that 85 that was messed up in the engine
MPDano...im about 200miles south-east of PX

IF ITS THE SAME CAR THATS ON EBAY JUST ASK SELLER A QUESTION BUTTON AND TELL HIM TO SEND OR ADD (MINT) DASH PIC OR GENERAL INTERIOR PICS OF THE CAR ADD TO HIS LISTING WOULDNT HE HAVE SEV PICS OF CAR IN THE LISTING FOR SALE ANYWAY -- ILL CHECK IT OUT-- SHOULD COMPLY SAID HED BREAK IT DOWN IF INT NEED PARTS AND THE MORE PEEPS INTERSTED MORE BIDS . TOO all the more to pay in ebay fees when all is said and done lol

[lfausty]

some like to part and some dont have the time ,space or desire you have to want to for a few months or so you kidding theres 1000s in that car even at cheap cheap prices not to mention youd be getting parts youd need for your own to off it.

sun blaring in the pics there but dash even pod looks good from what i saw three secs the seat/s dont look bad

WHERES 928 WORLDWIDE TO BUSY MOVING Mason hes the one asking in need of Pcars that cars in NY and hes in PA correct? he should contact

[Danglerb]

The trouble with parting out, is that almost everything that has any value is a PITA to ship, and while I do enjoy taking stuff apart, I don't enjoy working for McD wages. US 80 to 82 AT has none of the parts most people are willing to pay something for that aren't hard to ship, at least that I can think of, so anybody feel free to school me on the valuable parts on them?

Keep in mind its a non running car so NOTHING will be easy to test for function.

[american-kiwi]

this 928 was/is a 5 speed

[lfausty]

ok so my opinion only giving im using a plastic fork to make my heat slide slide the slide button which is just about the only thing there in the middle console is worth 400 alone. lol i got one but havent yet taken the npliers to pull the broken tabs out and insert mine.

Porsche 928 S 1978 for sale - TradeMe.co.nz - New Zealand

What kind of seats are those? Crazy price for a '1978' S that is ex Singapore (ie rubbers suspect from the heat - we can put the plate into Vehicle information, history check and reports | CarJam and get a bit of history) and has done 90000km in the last 10 years here in NZ.

[MPDano]

Oh wow, those are cool seats. BTW, those Zip Ties on the Air Cleaner is the deal breaker.
