'81 928 5 Speed - For Sale or Part Out!

This car was taken to a shop because the clutch went out. The owner freaked out about the price and it just sat there. A few years later, someone broke into the shops lot and tried to steal it. They got it powered up and got the window down, but couldn't go anywhere because the clutch was out! They berkeleyed up the ignition switch, and left the window down. The shop didn't really care, because the car was pretty much abandoned at that point. So here it is, a little beat up from being moved around by a less than careful forklift driver, and the interior is completely shop due to the window being down for the last 10 years. It only has 81k miles, and has the rare 5 speed transmission. Well, at least it's rarer than most of the "rare" cars on craigslist.

wtf.

Why couldn't the shop at least put plastic over the window? Don't they know about mechanic's liens? They could've owned this car if they'd pursued it.

I am afraid to ask... but how much?

Could use the front air dam if it's still on the car, and if not the whole car then certainly the 5-speed parts.

Oh yeah, I forgot that part. $750. I figure all the 5 speed parts are probably worth that. No front air dam. It's broken.

eVansville?

Indeed.

what a shame.. things cooked for good.. though i can think of a few good uses for that motor....

No kidding. I was seriously considering grafting the engine, transmission, and suspension underneath my extra '85 GTI. That would be a bad ass challenge car.

Are those rear-trans like the 924's?

Yes

Hmmm.... If I could get the torque-tube extended a couple feet that would be a pretty sweet swap into my 62 Tempest.

With a twin turbo OHC 6? That would be freaking awesome.

Why not just throw a couple of snails on the 928 mill?

I'll take the Mk1 Scirocco sitting next to it.

Poor thing....sitting outside in the Midwest......

I'm not afraid of all the cobbed-together fixes the idiot PO did to the car.

name your price sir.....she needs to come home!

I was hoping you wouldn't notice that! Actually, that's the main reason I'm selling all this crap, to make room and budget for the Scirocco. I've already got the engine built (actually two of them, not sure if I want to go 16v turbo or 20v turbo). Body work is the main obstacle, since I hate it.

That's also why I said "I'm keeping the transmission" from the Rabbit I have for sale! The Scirocco one has some issues.

Ok, Ok,

Just as long as the old friend isn't languishing, and returning to the earth.

The trans has never been right since the car was involved in a minor wreck. I think my hand was on the shifter when the accident happened, and maybe it damaged the shifter, or trans internals.

Good luck bringing it back to life. Maybe we will have to re-instate the claim rule!

That car looks like sex. Except with patina...

I guess that's one thing patina doesn't help...

Unless it's dirty punk rock sex.

You all know you want it. I need a MKI Scirocco door and Stan's 325is.
