I'm glad to have been able to get the time to scan these in. I'll work to do a better job next time (4000 dpi) for high resolution stuff but my stuff is some old Agfachrome slides so that's the limiting end of it. Also check the massive 928 forum topic on 928 car pictures. I submitted several shots of the same era I took one day in March 1977 through the fence at Weissach before the car was released (car spy shots). Will also scan several interesting documents from the time with additional factory photos, in the near future.

In 1977 I ordered a new 911S,--which I picked up in early March 1977. Because of substantial revisions to the 911 line during that time the factory was closed to visitors; the 928 line was soon open in the Fall for tours. These shots were from October 1977, when the factory was able to accommodate their new car guests. I was never able to afford a 928.

The following photo was from today. We had a good PCA breakfast show of cars as seen here. (Mine is the blue one)

Just another thank you.

Hi Dan,
I will definitely check out your 'spy shots'... thanks.
Looks like your local PCA group runs the full gamut of Porsche enthusiasts. I did a double-take --thought you were parked next to RSKY BIZ at first glance! Wow!
(Except I'm holding off on the front tag)...

Edgy01... Dan, you've thrilled a bunch of good people.

Thnx for the fascinating stroll thru intriguing places.

G'luck.


p.s. you could sell pics-on-a-CD here by the bushel, at
reasonable prices, of course (income poll notwithstanding)

Thanks Dan,
What an incredible photo essay from start to finish of the 928. It would be nice to see only the pictures in a sticky thread here. Wow.

Should be true. 200 work days times 20 equals 4000 928 made each year. In best MY they did little over 5000.

Thank you very much for the pics Dan.

I think if anything, you had the great foresight to have a high end camera to take magazine quality images that survived the test of time. Seriously, these are 30 year old pictures and are of better quality than I have seen of the 928 in many books or magazines. I suspect you will be contacted in time, to have these images purchased from you. Again, I think this is more than what you think it may be. This is very important.

Just got the time to read the entire thread. A very big thanks for sharing.

You're all welcome. I can't believe it's been thirty years. It's a testament to the 928 owners out there who have kept these fine machines alive and running all these years. That's not a simple (or cheap!) thing to do with a 9-2-8.

I shot these pictures with a motorized Nikon FTn with a 24mm f/2.8 Nikkor len on CT18 Afgachrome 35mm slide film.

Here's to the next thirty years.
