I don't know Mark, I see dangerously non-stock RED paint on the cross brace. Red paint was obviousy not what Porsche intended, and may have very serious performance and safety repercussions.
YMMV.

Wasn't Ed the "YMMV" guy

I'm guessing "the customer" isn't ED?

And a perfect rousing memorial to the man, the legend, the OCD ed.

Yeah, if I bought it, I'm sure the ghost of Ed would constantly remind me to "read the owner's manual" followed by a diatribe on the contact patch and slip angles. And if I was really lucky, he'd ask if I had the proper wingnut on my battery ground strap.

Didn't he move to Greece, hence the reason he no longer owns it?

YMMV and Merry motoring!

(And Ed, if you're reading, I mean this all in good fun. I always respected you and your technical knowledge of the 928 when you were on PorscheFans and the early Rennlist email list. Take care. )

I got that on my 90GT too. Thinkin' about having it removed. Wish he'd up his price some, I keep thinking the GTs are worth over $20k. Looks pretty sweet.

That's weird, because I purchased this '91 GT from a gentleman from LA that sold it because he was moving to Greece as well. Are you sure your not confusing the two? If not, that's quite a coincidence!

Last time my father was in LA, he drove my 90GT. Now he's sharkbit and is looking for one of his own. He's 67, so he's thinking auto, but maybe the family needs a second GT!

If memory serves a VA trooper rear ended Ed while pulling him over for speeding. I guess the 928 GT brakes are a bit better than a patrol car.
