Default My 928 at Fuelfed Coffee & Classics

In the Chicago northern suburb of Winnetka, there is a monthly car show that focuses on European classic cars called the Fuelfed Coffee & Classics. I have been going to the show for the past several years, and this year I joined as a member. Today was the first day that I showed one of my 928s.

When I joined, they let me know that I am the first Fuelfed member with a 928. Among a wide variety of marques, in the Porsche family there are 193 air-cooled 911s, 14 914s, and 23 944s.

My shark got a lot of attention today, with many people stopping by to talk with me about the car.

This show has a great variety of really special and unique European cars.

Here is their web site: https://fuelfed.wordpress.com/events...ffee-classics/

If you live in the Chicago area, or if you have any plans to visit, the show is monthly on Sundays from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. Here is the schedule for the rest of 2016:

June 26
July 31
August 28
September 25
October 30

Some pictures follow.

Beautiful 928!! My wife's home town is Chicago, and a couple of our kids have relocated back to the "Windy City."

Gotta tell ya, you're shark is so pretty, it makes me wanna throw rocks at mine. This is something to consider attending. Thanks for the heads up!

Great cars and venue. Reminds me of what one will often see at Katie's C&C in Great Falls, VA. Beautiful 928. Original paint?

WOW, great looking shark!

I think your membership proportions speak volumes about where the 928 market might go. It's good to be in the minority

Not a car there that I would not love to own and drive. Thanks for the pics. A feast for the eyes!

Default Although...truth be told...

Is there a better looking car on the planet...I think not.



Granted, I love my 928's...but this car just has all the right stuff.

Sacrilege to say, but I've never been a big E-Type fan. I prefer the 300SL gullwing above.

I really liked this car. The only negative was that the guy had orange 5-spoke wheels on the car. He said he tracks it, and he has the original wheels at home. Other than that, a spectacular car.

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL 928 you have!

You did a great job of representing the SHARK community. Thank You!

Some incredible, mouth watering cars there and yours fit right in... I can think of no higher compliment
