Thank you, but also interesting is, according to the info in the Warranty/Maintenance book, the original owner took possession 7-30-86
what does factory pick up mean exactly?

Rob Edwards 01-18-2014 02:03 AM

Means that the buyer traveled to Germany and took delivery at the factory.

^WOW, Thanks Rob, makes it even 'cooler', Always been a local 928. (except for the Germany part):thumbup:

For what it's worth, I count 835 U.S. 928s with the tourist delivery option, between 1980 and 1995.

... and just to add a bit more trivia, that equates to about 5% of total US cars (16465) ... which is a reasonable percentage and a bit more than I would have expected.

OTR18WHEELER 01-18-2014 04:24 AM

^now I am curious, gonna have to google the original buyer. I know the second owner, the third owner is the one that drove it hard and put it up wet. (I'm the 4th)
