Yeah, what's up with that? Never seen that kind of damage before.

Great color, though.

He says in the ad 'the last three pictures are of another car optioned exactly like mine'.

Those are the ones marked 2013.

Ah I see now.  It'd be a nice one restored but it's too far for me to be sufficiently tempted.

You've gotta want one. This is almost a free car as the manual option is essentially worth the price. Add tin top to anyone that wants to track it and you're ahead of the game.  Plus these early cars are noticeably lighter to the cars built a few years later.

I think that is just missing paint or black paint.  You can see cloud reflections in some of it.

That car needs to live on as a gutted track/race car. Like this:

Kid pulled it from a Junkyard local to him a few weeks ago. Being an early minerva,manual car is def worth saving.

It doesn't look that bad to me.  Manual transmission + tin top + rare color are  neat.  It probably wound up in the junkyard for a reason, but it's probably salvageable at that kind of $$.

Doesn't look so bad from here, especially for the money, right?

I know this is a special Porsche no doubt about it.  And the 928 was a huge leap for Porsche and it's a cool car.  I still remember the first time I road in one in the early 80s when I was very young.  I also remember my first ride in a C2 Corvette and my first ride in a C3 Corvette, and then there was my rides in a Plymouth Superbird and a Pantera.  The 928 is a very memorable car for me.  Like I said though this one is too far away for me to be interested right now.

Worth it if you can do all the work yourself.  If you have to pay shop labor, there's nothing more expensive than a cheap Porsche
