Post Looking for Excellence issue August 1990

Hi all,

quote from Phil Tong's <a href="http://www.928s4vr.com:" target="_blank">www.928s4vr.com:</a>

"Excellence magazine featured DeVore's 16v 6.2 liter '78 on the cover and feature story (the Arizona Highwayman) of it's August 1990 issue."

Looking for either the complete issue or a scanned copy of the article and photos

Thanks in advance

Hi Tarek,

I've got Tom Middleton's copy on long term loan (sorry Tom, I've got to get it back to you ).
It is a great article.

Doesn't Excellence sell back issues?

BTW, I have it. Sorry, but I've "lost too many things that I've lent out. You're welcome to see it, but you'll need to come over to do so. YMMV.

Jorj7 928 site has a listing of magazine articles featuring Porsche 928s, but it doesn't include the article I'm looking for! Someone should submit this article to Jorj7 !

Jorj7 are you reading?

I've got it here and I'm reading through it right now. It was the first article I picked up on 928 and I've had it ever since. Picked it up at a magazine store on my way out to Texas Tech back in 1990. Aug. 1990 edition. It's funny, there's a big ad on a "brick" cellphone on the inside of the front cover. "Only $1,195.00" Time flies don't it!

Awesome article on Bob's 928. "I was tired of being beaten by corvettes." he goes on to say.
"In my area, 78-80 928's are usually in the $9,000 to $15,000 range"-Damn, I wish!! Hell, I'd sell mine right now.

Good follow up article on getting 300hp out of your early model. Also, a good article after that on the "new" 1990 928GT.

Also, one more article in the back: Project 928-Flagship or Failure. -I'll go with the flagship for $200 Bob! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" />

It's got a nice pic of the Al Holbert car setting the record at Bonneville. It also talks about Risky business car, etc, etc......

It's gotta be my first and altime favorite 928 featured magazine.

Awesome BBAAABBYYYY!!!!!!!

Tarek,

Me not so hi-tech!

Just pick up a copy of Excellence and turn toward the back to get back issue info. I think back copies are like $5 or $10 each.

<img border="0" alt="[bigbye]" title="" src="graemlins/xyxwave.gif" /> Good Luck!
