You asked who needs parts, so... I'll wait until you start a proper FS thread when you're ready.

Were you already on this or did this RL thread tip you off?

No, I have a way to see these cars of interest as soon as they hit the sites. I guess I should start a for sale thread soon. I hate parting these 928's, it just doesn't seem right.

What kills me is that this would have been the perfect donor for the front-end 'totaled' '89 GT a few years back (thread). You remember that one. Take a look at Chuck Z's post #28 for pics.
35k & mint until the front-end hit. Possible frame tweak, engine likely fine; trans. fine; everything windshield back unaffected. Just in need of a front end. Ended up going to a dismantler in PA for $4k

Gio..you mentioned Linen seats...this black '89 GT had a perfect Linen interior.
Sometimes the stars just don't align....

JP, I thought of you and that GT today as I was heading back. Yes it would have been perfect for sure.
see ya buddy

If you decide not to dismantle it, and want to sell it. I would love to try to get it back on the road.

Kevin, what's the VIN?

Aspkiller · 10-31-2009, 05:39 PM

Hello Kevin-
I really envy your find. Sometimes you just have to be at the right place at the right time.

Anyway, I have a 91GT motor from an 81K car. I want $5,500 for it.

It comes with ALL accessories (one a/c hose was pirated). I also have a Devek radiator, twin fans with shroud, oil cooler, belhousing with clutch and pressure plate, factory exhaust, plus Motorsports x-pipe and RMB, Motorsports springs and a bunch of other take offs.

I'm keeping a lot it for another car I'm building, but will let most anything go for the right price.

(NEW INFO): The additional parts will only be sold after the engine is sold.

Good luck with whatever you do with the car.

How about some pics Kevin?

Kevin Michael · 11-01-2009, 12:03 AM

Any interest in this engine, it is less the pass side head (MIA). I will probably pull the other head and see if it spins tomorrow and inspect it thoroughly.

928Quest · 11-01-2009, 12:12 AM

If you are going to part it, I'd like the center console for my GT. Let me know.

Chuck, Title and car are at the shop so I will get the vin Monday for you.

Kevin Michael · 11-02-2009, 07:44 PM

The engine stamp says m28/47 the last 4 of the vin is 1217. It carries the correct GT option codes for the lsd, the suspension and the Gt denotation. I had it all written down at the shop, but I am home now and don't feel like running back out. The engine is missing the p-side head, but oddly enough the cams are sitting in the V under all the accessories that were removed. So I have all 4 GT cams as far as the #'s on them go.

JPTL · 11-02-2009, 08:08 PM

Worth the trip, huh?

Kevin Michael · 11-02-2009, 08:22 PM

I would say so JP. Now what to do with it? I am torn whether to sell it or part it. It's a low mile car and the first one Ive seen in sometime with such a perfect interior. The purchase end was horrible though man. The guy said I was the first in line but then proceeds to make me negotiate with the 2nd 3rd and 4th guy in line later on. I played along till 1400.00 and then I said he should honor his advertisement and do the right thing and he came around. What do you think I should do with this thing?

BrendanC · 11-02-2009, 08:25 PM

I have a fresh engine to put in it, but you are about as far away as can be from me.

Kevin Michael · 11-02-2009, 08:28 PM

It's got a good engine Brendan, just needs the valve work done.
