    Growing up as a teenager in the 80’s I LOVED the 928. Such a great car!

    Keep the car Nick! It adds real depth and interest for the channel. Not just another ‘option list’ purchase at your local OPC! Your 993 video gave your dream list ( coupe, green etc!) this compliments your 993 cab perfectly. Take it on road trip travel logs! Great for the channel. 928, overlooked classic!

  • @tapereader8163
    @tapereader8163 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Geez Nick your 928 reminds me of my former manager who drove a sky blue 928.
    If my CDL didn’t restrict me to automatics only I would buy , at your ask, immediately.
    I was never a big fan of the non air cooled Porsche as I’ve always been a fan of 911 but it’s the nostalgia appeal of my younger days & I would honor Tri by keeping the plates if possible.
    Envious of the future owner, best wishes my friend., you did an excel job of restoring it !

    I first fell in love with this car when I saw it in Risky Business. It was a favorite of mine, only bested by the Lamborghini Countach. God, the 928S is still a beautiful car, with great lines.

    My all-time favorite car. It's such a beautiful design. I love the color combination you've got. I understand the realities of life, but it breaks my heart to see you sell her. When I think of all the great videos that might have been I want to cry. 😢

  • @4wheelsonmywagon733

  • @edjustice7755
    @edjustice7755 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Well done Nick...a lot of work gone into this machine, and transparency to boot. I too have always loved the shape of the 928 (originally designed as a 911 replacement). GLWS!!!

  • @dlg5485
    @dlg5485 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The 928 is one of the cars that started my journey down the car enthusiast rabbit hole back when I was in high school. I simply LOVED this car when it came out and I've always dreamed of owning one. Sadly, my bank account won't allow it, but I think $43k-$45k is very reasonable considering all the work that's been done. Another few thousand into it and this car would be perfect. If I was financially able I'd certainly make an offer.

  • @RevTiberius
    @RevTiberius 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    This is such a beautiful color. I was just going through the Mercedes and BMW configurators and it's such a shame that dark green just isn't an available color option anymore anywhere with very few (typically high-end) exceptions. I remember in my my childhood, right around the time this Porsche 928 S came out, there were lot more colors on the street, including beautiful, deep, rich shades of green. Green also goes well with some of the lighter interior color options I like. Hopefully colors will make a comeback at some point, and won't just be exotic options for high-end Porsches

    @frankirvine316 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Nick Your car looks a treat👍
    I have Platinum manual 1982 and they are the best GT touring car still today👍
    The Moss green would be my favourite colour for sure and the trim combo on yours is perfect
    Overall your car is mint really and the chips etc are commensurate with age
    They are strong,and they have to be used on a regular basis,which I haven’t been able to do with a health condition preventing that
    Your car is low mileage,and mine only has 110
    But like all European cars you have to be prepared to “tinker” with them,and the key is finding a mechanic 👨‍🔧 who knows 928’s and is motivated
    That’s the problem I have in Vancouver,very frustrating 😩
    Stay safe with the Virus 🦠 still rampant
    Cheers

      Gullideckels, ‘sewer lids’. Also standard on the 944S, they come in three finishes, this one, which is lightly brushed, anodized, which is rougher, and platinum, which is high polished. I like the polished on light cars and the brushed finish on a dark color, such as this green.

    you see lack of 928 appreciation here. Rear a/c is brilliant, you can cool the whole car without loud fan noise, on a hot day you don't get hammered by the heat coming thru the rear window. Its shows why you need time to 'get' a 928 properly.

    For anyone that needs to restore cars in terms of hiding paint chips and leather damage on vintage and newer cars should try these products:
    Dr. ColorChip (Florida) can prove paint colors based on factory paint codes. The professional kit that shops use allows color matching for unique colors, like Moss Green.
    ColourLock (Germany and UK) can provide dyes and leather filters, plus conditioners and sealants for most cars based on factory leather codes. They can color match custom colors. They are on Amazon for common leather products and ship from the US. Leather dyes and fillers ship from the UK.
    Hard to believe the detail shop didn't try to fix all that paint damage...for all the paint correction work that went into the 928S.
