PSD was a standard IIRC.

Was this car made for a Sultan, Warren Buffett, or movie star? I can't begin to imagine what it cost new.

I defy anyone to find a better 928 than this one! I don't think it can be done.

Right Click, Save As, drool, repeat.

Thanks for taking the pics and sharing them with us, this is very a special 928.

I like this one much better than the Wimbleton Green GTS that popped up in DuPont Registry a while back.

Since gearbox is G28.57 it obviously has PSD. Has anyone in fact seen 221 option in any 928? I suspect code is never in sticker since its always standard when its installed. Same as 219 = open differential is never listed even though all have it which do not have 220 = limited slip differential option.

Wow, this car is really hot!

-The leather on this one: It isn't "even" colored, it seems to change over large areas, almost taking on an orange tint on the edges. Is this intentional, or does my laptop just have a bad screen?

I take it the wood trim on this car takes the place of the plastic normally used on places such as the dashboard. How is it secured? Is it glued down, or are there screws holding it?

Leather slider *****! Now I've heard of everything...yes sir!

N!

Just when you think that you've "seen it all" something like this comes along. What next? Diamond studded dash? Amazing. If this car's in Utah...that would be triple amazing.

Picture is from '92 MY Exclusive program brochure. It shows sample what was at the time available covered in leather. Looks like this '94 has these all selected. Total bill for leather work must have been $$$$$.



Just remainder for Todd. Not all that is not black in color is leather normally even though it is in this very rare case. Please find me other ROW car with as much leather as this Utah '94 has. Virtually impossible task. I bet you cannot find single ROW model like this for sale within next year.

Although it is clear that the craftsmanship from the factory is impeccable and the end result is exquisite, there is nothing magical about all of this. I have already made a lot of these parts in full leather or a mixture of wood and leather. I am working on a full interior right now for a member of this board that will have most of these trim pieces in leather.
It is available and not as expensive as you all seem to think.

Paul, compared to factory price list your work is real bargain. Factory work wasn't available cheaply and still isn't. You could probably make full leather 997 at 1/3 or even 1/5 $ of what factory asks. There would be many more full leather 928s if factory pricing was same as yours.

Paul, the magical thing about this car is that it is so unique FROM THE FACTORY! The condition also has a lot to do with it. Sure, your car is the only one like it with the leather upgrades you have done, but you did them long after the car was manufactured. This one is so cool because it is factory original and almost perfect. It's like a diamond...you can find a normal 18k mile 94' GTS 5-speed (Good luck!) and then polish it or you can have this car. With enough money and time, the lowest S4 could look like this one but it wasn't ordered like this, does not have the "pedigree", is not a limited production, top of the heap gem like this one.

BTW, the vin is 0075, the Cup 2 wheels came on it and it was manufactured in May of 93'. The current owner is the second owner, has had it for 8 years or so and the first owner did order it like this. The car has been in Utah for a couple of years, less than 15 miles from our shop. The story goes that the Pearglanz 95' car was ordered after seeing this one. Has anyone noticed that the Pearglanz does not have Rootwood?

It is this one...http://www.928registry.org/1994-928GTS-0075.htm
