I accidentally hit the "Post Thread" before I could enter the rest of the information.
It is an 87, A/T.
I bought it back in November and got to drive it for about 1 week before I put it away in storage (weather turned bad early up here). Took out it for a quick drive one day in December when we had a stretch of nice days and the roads were completely dry. It probably won't come back out of storage until late March (storing it in neighbors garage and they will be back home then).
This car has already been posted on the list a few months back.

I'm very envious reading any posts about anyone out driving and having fun these days (temperature here is -27 Celsius and we have about 1 foot of snow)!!!

Congrats, Brad. Beautiful shark. I bought a black 87 928S4 in November. Glad to hear you're taking good care of it.
I was in Toronto for a week in December. The cars people were driving were all less than 10 years old. I guess they rust out by then, because of the salt. Maybe all of the good cars are in storage, like yours, until summer.

Glad to see another Calgarian on the board!
When the weather warms up....like August....we'll have to go for a rip. There are a couple of 928s in Edmonton and one down in pincher creek who are regulars on the board!
Welcome!.

Nice car!
I sense a bad case of seperation angst - it's OK to quietly visit your 928 while in hibernation, slide in behind the wheel, take a firm grip - and make your best "vrooom va va varoooom" noises. You'll feel better!
BTW, everyone does it - but no one admits it. 
For your winter reading, saerch and prepare for two critical but easy 1/2 hour jobs: Timing belt tension check ( if you know the belt history) and release of the flex plate residual tension.
