Unfortunately, I doubt it is was the "last 928" that is pictured. The one I spotted had rub-strips. I wish I would have made a u-turn and followed the guy. I was running late and about to miss my train.

HaZeofGrEen, where in Middletown NJ do you work?

BTW - saw the car on New Monmouth Rd and Rt 35. I was thinking that he might drive to the ferry since that is where the road leads to. The ferry parking lot has Porsches than the dealership.

Amazingly, just spotted the car again on New Monmouth Rd going west bound. 100% Perlanz Green GTS. I was sandwiched between cars and couldn't make a u turn.

I bet it was being driven by Sasquatch.

EDIT> These always make me laugh

I am going to keep my phone on the dashboard from now on. I feel like we are tracking Bigfoot.

BTW - Nicole, Got your Euro trim pieces in the mail to replace the black rubber bumpers in front. Cant wait to put them on next week.

I've been in the market for a 928 the last year or so, just trying to gather information and try to figure out what is best for me. You guys have extensive knowledge, it is definitely the place to be.

I graduated North in 98 then moved out west near Freehold. Now I'm back in Middletown working right off HWY 36 near the naval base. My brother actually works in Middletown too, he's a cop.

It's best if you utilize your resources and have him stop/detain this car until it has had a proper inspection.

Would be kind of amusing to have the first AND the last 928 here on RL.

I'll be shocked if it is not a repaint. Considering THE LAST was a one off paint color and the interior was also all one off and crazy purple and lime green to match/contrast the car. I can't wait for pics and more info though. I would be someone had to repaint and picked that really early 928 lime green color (which is very close to the last GTS color).

I also find it interesting that we are starting to see the Speed Yellow GTS in Houston pretty regularly too!

I'm leaning towards a wrap too..... To have the last 928 that is SO custom as a daily driver is almost unthinkable....

I will be on the lookout for the car and try to talk to the driver if possible. I thought that the car had turbo-twists but it was hard to tell since the car was moving.

HazeofGreen - I live near the Marina Diner off of Rt 36. If I can be of any assistance during your car search please let me know. I believe Bob on 36 currently has 2 928's for sale. A 1981 Blue 5-speed with the Competition Package, Bilstein's and an 86 1/2 Auto Black/Black. He is 5 minutes North from your workplace on the southbound side of 36.

Lol I guess I should make sure he knows to keep an eye out for this vehicle.

Ahh ok, that is really close. My buddy's father used to own the Marina Diner for the longest time, he is they guy who owned all of those older cars that were always parked in the lot. I work at Jean's Canvas right on 36, we do a lot of boat/awning work.

Are you speaking about the car that is sitting in Dossil's parking lot? I thought that car looked a bit rough from the hwy driveby. I never actually looked at the car.

I probably am interested in an S4 or a GTS model though. There was a local guy here in Millstone who had an 89 with 92k for sale, but I don't see it out anymore. It was on Craigslist back in December, posting expired but it sat out in his front yard for months after. I appreciate the offer, I may just need to take you up on it.

It is the lot next door to Dossils. He has another 928 parked out front but they are all pre-87 cars.

Found this S4 in Manalapan but may already be gone. http://cnj.craigslist.org/cto/3839075226.html

If I hear of a local S4 or GTS for sale I will definitely let you know.
