Default 928man & 1986.5 auto 928

i'm Bill, known as 928man on here, I live in the Scranton, pa area, started in 928's when I was 52, now I'm an old guy-64, my first car was a 1978 5spd, bought from ohio, had black interior. second car I got is a carelli modified 1980 Euro-S with S4 bumpers, 5spd, will post pictures later, my second car now is the 1986.5 auto pictured, has 70K miles on it needs nothing except shining up the old wheels, bought in NC last year & driven up in 100 degree weather without A/C, that was miserable!! But I got it here, love both my cars.

Bill,
Very nice! It looks like a well cared for example. I'm curious to hear more about your Carelli modified '80.

Bill they used to say you are as old as the woman next to you ,now we are just as old as the car we drive .At 62 driving the 928 feels real young.Enjoy your cars.

mallmam: You are right, gets the energy going, people look at these cars & have no idea what they are seeing, maybe they think they are Ferrari's, HA, HA.

Denny- No point, just showing my car, I've been asked by some to see it, so here it is completely stock, no mods, but I would like to get better wheels for it sometime, Thanks, Bill
Gary- when I get pics of the Euro-S I'll post them, the car has a few unique features on it, it looks similar to an S4 but has the older front fender slope.Bill

Shane: Yes I used the polishing compound on the front & back bumpers as you suggested, thanks, worked wonders, I didn't show the rear of the car as the license plate wasn't covered, forgot, Bill

It looks great.

But those floor mats and head pillow thingies gotta go.

Is the leather faded or just dirty? Leatherique will make it look much better either way.

Nice looking car-I am really jealous of your dash. Great example.
