I want Pascha seats so god damn badly, who wants to buy my car? So I can fly out there, put this one together and drive home

This might be a little OT, but once upon a time I may have (accidently) eaten some hallucinogenic shrooms, I saw spinning Porsche crests in Pascha in the night sky on the beach.

Ok now I'm seriously interested. How does it work? I hate not being able to open my doors remotely.

Dash, pod, headliner, door panels and rear quarters are near perfect, no cracks or warpage.

Photographing pascha is very difficult, I've found. the light will catch it weird and make it look faded when it's not. These do appear to be the black/blue variety (like mine) but have not faded to the point where they appear to be green and gray (like mine). OTOH, they don't look as blue as the least faded material in mine, which is on the underside of the seats. Like this:

Are the photos misleading?

OMG! $3k! For an early EURO '78 5spd! With parts?! Amazing deal I would say. Wallace did my '92 GTS as well!

How is it we get pages of new people looking at piles of junk, and then a fairly decent car comes along and nobody buys it?

I think it stems from folks trying to get the latest/greatest 928...and the OB's just not being that desirable to newbies.

I used to feel the same way...old style rear tails..yuck...no body side moulding...or big wing.. no way.... phone dials....double yuck...... But..I've come full circle and now want a 78 with Pasha...to commemorate the original 928..as it was designed.......

Anyone know of a cheap cheap transport??

Unless this has changed.." Removed the intake, CIS, timing belt covers, fuel lines, AC compressor, radiator and that's as far as I got. I am moving and don't have the time nor space to work on it, so it will be sold as-is. You will have to pick it up with a trailer. " I would not consider this a car. It is a pile of parts with no way to start, drive, test trans or anything else. A potential black hole waiting to suck up large amounts of time and money.

To be a car it needs to be able to run and be driven. It is just a failed project.
