So...I now present you the Red Witch.
She is a 1986.5 USA spec 928S, Guards Red with the 4spd automatic. She has 165k on the clock, and carries those miles well.
Black leather interior with red highlights and chrome Manhole Covers outside.
She has been in the hands of an enthusiast since 1997, which has provided me with a stack of service history documents. I'll get into that later.
For now, photos:
I will post more photos, service history, and just what I plan on doing with my 928 soon.
Congratulations on your acquisition. I can truly say this is the first time I have seen that much red on the intake/cam covers and liked it. Used as an accent, it looks really good!
You win! Proper color, and year. I had one just like it without the red trim inside, and apart from baking in the black int in summer, it was one of my favorite 928s. Enjoy, and keep us informed.
As of right now, she is going under the knife at Auto Assets for the following:
-full TB job
-resealing of the oil pump
-oil and filter change
-full WP job
-drive belts
-expansion tank replacement
-cam plugs replacement
-brake fluid flush
-front and rear flex plate clamp migration check, crank endplay check, and new pinch bolts
-replacement of a leaking transmission cooler line under the car
-inspection and repair of inop washer systems
I will be replacing the battery on my own just prior to road tripping the Red Witch home to South Carolina.
Granted, alot of this I could have taken care of at home. However, she is 550 miles away, and is already up on a professional's lift. I will just have to pay a little longer.
On that note, I paid cash for the car. I am financing repairs totaling approximately 3/4 the purchase price. So, I am now $15,000 into a $5,000 928. Sounds about right...
In early May, I will be flying to Ohio to take possession of my 928. I will then road trip it home.
Good, bad, or otherwise...it will certainly be an adventure.

-Momo Tuner black 350mm steering wheel with matching hub
-Hella H4 E-code 7" conversion kit
-Osram H4 NightBreaker Unlimited bulbs

I need to order soon:
