Hi people,
I bought this game for some inspiration to finish my 1984 Porsche 928 sitting in my basement. I am not sure exactly how rare this one is from the other 60,000 928's made, but it is rare to be in the United States, it is the more powerful european model, I believe there were 1200 imported from the 1970's to the 1990's. I have had it for over a decade and recently found out that it might be fixed with an 80 dollar sensor - to start off the restore. I bought it nonrunning - no spark. Whatever you might call it - galactic karma, I did not know this until recently. If I would have fixed this car at 25, I doubt it would be worth the sum of it's parts by now. Some of us have to grow out of a fool stage, and I am almost done.
After this and a 1968 Triumph TR250 restore (one of 715), I am done with rare cars. They are more of a pain than what they are worth. After decades of enthusiasm I am tired of hearing on the other end of the phone "oh wait - you have a what model? oh that one.. no we do not have parts for that. try so-and-so." Or "oh yes we have that - that part will be seventeen trillion dollars and 23 billion cents."
I figure that in two years this game should be released. This is my new deadline for having my last two car projects wrapped up by then. From that point forward, my engine builds will be done with clicks and sliders.
Edit - I would be doing the CRX a disservice without mentioning that it is a 1987 CRX si. Less than 1.5 percent of all CRX models of those years.
