Default New Shark

I'm letting everyone know I bought Scott Smith's 89, from it's last owner today, in Arizona.

The car is being driven by my friend back to Vegas. As soon as I get home from New Mexico, I'll post some pictures.

Congrats!! It takes a dedicated 928 enthusiast to dive right back into a new to you 928 like this after losing your pride and joy.

Congrats on your new shark....bummer the insurance wrote it off.....didn't look that bad to me.... So what happened to the damaged car? Did they take it, or did they offer to "sell" it back to you for cheap? Since it runs with ease........buying it back and parting it out is a great idea for you....assuming you want to of course...

The new car is the one in my new avatar. The wrecked 87 was auctioned off. The insurance company wanted to much for it.

BTW, it's black like my 87, but this one has an almost white, light gray interior.

Have you seen Joe's sig? Not even sure if the 928 made his 'top 5'.

Anyway, Joe I'm glad you're back in the shark tank, and quickly. Sucks that it had to be under those circumstances.

Sounds like the color combo is a cool one, can't wait for pics.
