It would feel right at home parked next to my Velvet GT. Wish I could make it happen but, alas, cannot.

Good luck with the sale!

Thanks. It is in incredible condition. Unfortunately I have no service records to show it but it appears that it has been meticulously maintained. I know that will be a deal breaker for some but I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere. Everything works and from what I've seen, that's pretty rare.
Jarrod. It would look great parked next to yours. I wish you could make it happen because I know it would be in good hands if it were yours. I'll even deliver it to you personally at the 928 OCIC.

It is in incredible shape. Like Jarrod I would also love to have this in the garage as a driver.

Good luck with the sale!

Mike,
Good looking ad, GREAT looking 928! Your $18K BIN is fair too.... let's see, it's a 928 GT 5 speed. Nuf said.

This is your most recent acquisition, right?

Where were you 4 months ago when I bought my '87 v. blue/linen that was supposed to be in good shape for $10k. $9k later its in good shape.
I WANT YOUR CAR! I WANT ALL YOUR CARS!!!

Thanks Jim. Yeah, this is the one we drove home from Monterey. I'd love to keep it but there's too many other demands on my money and time right now.

Default WOW !!

A Marine blue GT to match my 88 Red S4 ! Great Idea ...could not possibly pull that off these days, but one can dream. Good luck. I am sure that someone will jump soon. Hope one of the RL folks can find a way to keep her in the fold. She is again a great example of why we all love these cars. I had been thinking about 928's since way before any movie ever featured one. You are really a true diehard shark guru !! Kevin

Mike,

I put a bid in. But your "no records" does hurt the overall price. What have you done to the car?

Thanks ROL,
I know the lack of records hurts and it drives me nuts that I can't find the previous owner to get more info. I found out that the previous owner (prior to the dealer I purchased it from) was Gordon Sparkes. You can see him and the car on Phil Tong's 928S4VR web page listed under Sterling's car. I've tried getting in touch with Mr. Sparkes but haven't had any luck. If anyone knows him or how to get in touch with him, please let me know.
Given its condition, if I had records to go with it, the BIN and reserve would be a little bit higher.
Since I've had it I've replaced the LH brain, changed the oil with Mobil 1, flushed the coolant system and refilled with Zerex G-05. That's about it. The timing belt looks good but I can't guess how many miles or years it may have on it.

I think Afshin needs a driver GT, then he can drive both to shows if the wife can drive a stick.
p.s. I am never going to have my car judged if he's there.

Carl if I had the money I would be all over this one, its a no brainer. Parts sharing would be a huge plus.

My wife can drive MT's although she's afraid of the 928, she's not used to heavy controls and the instant torque. I guess thats ok with me

Carl you should show your car, it is one of the best maintained 928's out there and your iteration improves upon the factory stock appearance. I don't think I will be winning any shows with the GT, I've seen some incredible restorations of 944's which blow the doors off of my car as far as condition is concerned.
