I like the way the tail lights seem to float above the bumper. But I think it would have looked better with a 72 ducktail spoiler

Most Porsche sports car folk are pretty open to swaps -- many are "hot rodders" themselves.

A 928 at least deserves an LS, though...

I can still recall the techs running and hiding when I brought my 928 S4 in for servicing, oh the cussing they did. I won't even get into the "front" engine nonsense I had to deal with. They made the corvette schmucks look good.

This with a LS swap would be heaven to me. I absolutely loved my 928, except for my yearly maintenance.

You know if the paint job looks cheap in pictures, then it's really bad in person.

whad'ya wanna bet they didn't use the special flexible paint for the rubber bumpers?

They painted the entire car with 'muffler paint'.

Ha! I didn’t even notice that. The body-colored muffler is pretty much the calling card of a bad paint job. You have to wonder if they washed it first...

I wonder if it is running the original Transaxle? I think you could run C6 or C7 parts & make up a custom driveshaft to use the original Porsche transaxle, Interesting.

It is probably like showing up at a cars & coffee with a 1968 XKE with a Pontiac OHC-6 under the hood. Most people but the snobs would love it.

Man that car needs a lot of work. Your right- the price for the parts seems reasonable

NOTE TO SELLER: When your trying to sell your dark colored Firebird, with a black convertible top, taking the pictures in the middle of the night is probably not the best idea! Genius. https://dayton.craigslist.org/cto/d/...076310872.html

Or maybe ingenious. Imagine what that hood looks like in daylight.

The seller knows what the car looks like but the buyers don't have a clue when the seller spends 5 minutes prep time to take the pictures and then use their cell phone.

Note to sellers. Place your car in FULL sunlight, NO shadows and NO tilted pictures or vertical pictures like your car is on a launch pad.


You're trying to sell a car and not showing your buddy what you just bought.
