Should I attempt to restore a 78 928?

Brad, I'm a little thrown off with it being an Auto.
The Geneva car was a 5 speed, for sure.
Good news is I have a couple lines on an early 5sp Euro, for cheap, if not free.

Finding the right car won't be a problem.
The real work will be in the pulling everyone together.

Your head is in the right place though!

I'm just happy that we might have something to get everyone involved

VIN on it is 9288101024.

I suspect if it says 928S on the import sticker and that it was imported after the "S" cars came out (ie imported after 1980 or around then) some MORON just wrote 928S on the import cert so it could be and "S" car! Probably not having any idea of what that actually means... Just speculating. Back then you could put just about any designation on your car when you were importing it that you wanted!

Jim, on your idea of restoring a car to raffle off, if it is NOT and auto then I won't buy a raffle ticket or 10 and there will be more than a few folks who can't even drive it (there are more than just me out here)... I suspect that a 5spd car would be preferred by the most avid enthusiasts but this project is about inclusion of all 928 OC members and I would never support a 5spd project car because it would leave many out.

We are not talking about a car for someone to buy, we are talking about a raffle car for someone to WIN... If they buy 1 ticket win the car, hate the auto, then they sell it for 100% profit for market value (less than a 5spd of course) and then add their own money back in to buy a 5spd they like... Just saying...

I read ya, brother! You will buy a ticket anyway. You'll want it in your garage.
We will have to run that one by some other folks, as my purist snobbery may get the best of me.
