1988 Porsche 928 S4 Coupe 2-door 5.0l Clean Project Car on 2040-cars

This is a very nice car with a bit of a soiled history. Sold new here in Southern California and serviced regularly and well kept, changed hands a couple times and then was involved in a single car accident that damaged the passenger side front suspension. The insurance company totalled it and it was sold at auction to the owner of a local body shop. He put it on the frame machine and got it back in alignment without much issue at all. There was no body damage, it was just under the car, so no paintwork was needed. He started driving the car and stated that it ran and drove very well and he was having a blast with it when one day it started running poorly. Water was mixing with the oil somehow and so he parked the car at his shop and just let it sit.  I came along with a pocket full of dreams and brought the car back to my garage, gave it a quick clean up and parked it next to my other Porsche as eye candy...it really looks nice.  I have done nothing with it other than a quick attempt to start it when I first hauled it home...it turned over slowly and fired at least a couple times, but with all the sludge in it I didn't push my luck. It did seem that the electrical parts of the car were in good shape. The body shop owner did say that the central driveline was making a vibration noise when he drove it so he did pick up another one from one of his parts vendors and that is included with the sale. The car is in nice shape with only a few dings here and there, the biggest one being a small spot on the passenger side rear bumper that cracked the taillight lens as well. The lens on the drivers side also has a crack but that is really the worst of it body wise. With a coat of wax it shines up really nice and it looks like a million bucks here in my man cave!  Interior is in nice shape overall, seats look good, a couple of small cracks on the dash pad and a couple of dirt spots here and there on the carpet that will probably clean up with a little effort. Kenwood stereo with remote, all the manuals and service books and even the original plastic glove for changing tires are here. There is even a vial of original touch up paint! The car shows well and Im sure with some effort and throwing a pile of hundred dollar bills at it...it will once again run as good as it looks. I dont know if the coolant/oil mix is due to a head gasket or the transmission/ oil cooler that is in the radiator (people have told me this is a common thing) I just have not checked into it at all. I just parked it and wipe it down with the car duster from time to time. One of the issues the car has is paperwork, this being a part of the reason I have not pushed hard to fix it. There are a bunch of back fees due to the California DMV and the body shop owner never completed the registration and post-salvage inspection. He started the process and when the car stopped running he just dropped it all. I ran the numbers through a title service I have worked with and it is all clean, as in no past theft or anything, but he told me there may be as much as $1700 in fees as well as the need for the brake and lamp inspection, emissions testing and all that in order to get it titled and on the road. I figured I would attend to it when I have it running...which I have never done, so I regrettably must sell is AS-IS on a bill of sale only. I have no physical title for the car and will not jump through the hoops to get one. (sorry) If the car is going out of state, I would imagine that the back fees in California can be avoided completely, on the salvage history, I have no clue. Im happy to sign whatever is needed and am still in contact with the previous owner at the body shop and he is a straight up guy that I imagine would help if needed as well.  The car seems far too nice to end up being just a parts car, but I suppose if it all went to help keep another one on the road, that would be OK...or I am sure it can be repaired and get back on the highway itself where these cars really shine! I love the car and have dreamed about getting it on the road for a while, just love the look of it , but I have decided that I would rather sell it off to someone with the time to fix the issues and then spend my time on my other cars. I will get another one someday, but it will be one I only have to turn the key...not the wrench with. Low starting bid and NO RESERVE!
