My my name is Adam, I live in Ventura County, California and this 1982 928 w/ 81k miles on it is the first Porsche I've owned. Apparently it was restored to match the car in Scarface.
First, the fun part - pictures:
I'm a professional photographer / designer / marketer (http://www.adamcharlesgeorge.com/). I have no mechanical background, but this beautiful car just kind of fell into my lap (I traded it for photography work), and I want to keep it in great shape / improve it over time.
The two previous owners that I know of (going back to 2011) spent a good amount of money having this car restored (major work by GK Restorations) and only put 3k miles on it during those 6 years. I plan to drive it a lot more than that. So far, all I've really done is replace the headlight relay, making the headlights illuminate, and put new tires on it.
The car drives great and is in very good condition, but I do have a list of things that need to be done, should be done and that I'd like to do. I just hope I can afford it because I really love it!
Congratulations. You've got a special car, very smooth. Some prefer an S4 or later overall, but nothing beats the pure 928 shape.
The first thing I noticed, however, was the excellent photos. I've been a professional photographer for the past 20 years, so you can take heart that I've been able to learn how to do serious mechanical work on a 928 with the help of forum members. On the other hand, my previous career was such that I've been accused of being a rocket scientist. Back to the photography business, we both know it's a mistake to fall for the "We'll give you a photo credit" offer, instead of money; some 928's are worth even less than a photo credit. Time will tell!
