That reminds me, I need to take some interior pictures.
Welcome and enjoy your new 928... Very nice looking specimen.

There's many stock strg wheels in garages, perhaps get one and try it, see how it works for you. If you like it Paul Champagne could recover it for you to look fantastic.
Also, have a look at 928 Specialists site. They used to have many strg wheels to choose from.

Suncoast? Somehow I missed that resource. Can it handle RoW VINs? URL? Thanks!

Nice car- I don't recall seeing that combination before, if the interior is accurately reflected on my monitor. I thoroughly enjoyed my '85.

Thanks to all the great comments from everybody. Finding this forum helped me decide to get a 928. I was used to the Pelican forum which isn't near as active for the 928 so I was always worried about getting help. Also I think I might have an 86.5 instead of an 86. The vin ends 2533. Also if what I was just reading is correct the jack points on an 86.5 are square and hang down?

Congrats! This looks like a nice and well cared-for example.
Based on your VIN, it would be an 86.5. If it has ABS, it certainly is.
The only grey vinyl interior color available at the time was grey-green. Please note that there is no more replacement carpet available in this color. Be careful!
That steering wheel... I'd much prefer an original or 930 style wheel, but that's my personal preference. I don't like to see any metal spokes in front of me - one less hard thing my head can hit in case of a bad accident.
