Congratulations and good luck! Nice to see these cars getting the attention they deserve.
The web site looks great, only have one issue and that is unless you are a Facebook member, you can't access the blogs or pictures. For me personally, Facebook's privacy track record and usage policies makes that a big turnoff for me (and reason I deleted mine for good). Again, that is just my personal feelings, but if it was my company website, I would not force potential clients to join a social networking site in order to access my site. Again, just my humble opinion, and again my truly best wishes on your endeavor.
Cheers!

EDIT: I guess the blog is "duplicated" on both your site and Facebook, so maybe not a big deal

This is the best I can do until I can launch a fully integrated custom website. Thanks again!

You go man! Congrats and best of luck. I applaud you for pursuing your passion, and I hope it turns into a means for making a nice living. As you well know, these early cars need an enthusiastic ambassador, and I can't think of anyone better suited for that role.

As a "early...pre spoiler" car lover I say "WELL DONE and good luck". I think you will do well as most tend to focus on later cars. There is something very special about the early cars and I am digging them more and more every year.

Agreed with Dean, looking at the long term collector market for 928's, I think the 'hot' niches will be the early (78-79) cars (closest to the original design vision), the special editions (CS/SE/Weissach/Jubilee), and perhaps the GT's and GTS's. But 'dead black box' syndrome is going to be a problem for the later cars, something the OB's don't have to worry about.
Best of luck with the venture, Jim! Passion is the most important ingredient, and you've got that in spades.

Outstanding launch Jim! I know this business will do well. Your passion and enthusiasm shows, and that is what the successful business (and personal) relationships are built upon. I'm glad we have a dedicated "OB" resource!
